The Swiss watchmaking house, Oris, pays tribute to a Swiss aviation pioneer, Oskar Bider, with an exceptional limited edition watch. This newcomer celebrates the centennial of the Bider’s first flight across the Alps.

In July 1913, the Swiss pilot became the first flyer to cross the Alps at the age of 22. Bider also set a new altitude record as he piloted his Bleriot XI monoplane up to 3,600 meters in the thin mountain air to fly over the Jungfraujoch ridge. His life was indeed an extraordinary adventure.

The Oris novelty is housed in a round case crafted from stainless steel. The case measures 42mm in diameter and it is equipped with a fixed bezel.

The case is protected with a vintage-styled plexi glass. A black, guilloche finished dial comprises three sub-dials located at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock positions. The odd hours are represented with indices, while the even hours are marked with Arabic numerals. The hour and minute hands, as well as indices are filled with Superluminova to ensure perfect legibility under low light conditions. A date aperture is placed at the 3 o’clock position.
