Tonight, the spotlight shines brightly on the Oris ProPilot X Miss Piggy Edition, marking a new chapter in the Swiss watchmaker's collaboration with iconic characters. This special edition introduces the first-ever 34mm model of the ProPilot X, tailored specifically for the grandeur that Miss Piggy embodies. Featuring a stunning pink dial and a baguette-cut diamond at the 12 o'clock position, this timepiece reflects the unmatched style and splendor of its muse.
Oris has meticulously crafted this watch not merely as a smaller version of the existing ProPilot models but as a distinct homage in steel, moving away from the titanium typically used in this range. The choice of material complements the design, with the robust yet sleek steel enhancing the watch’s glamorous appeal. At the heart of the watch, visible through a peephole on the mirrored case back, lies a painted portrait of Miss Piggy—her portrait appearing and disappearing with the movement's rotation, adding an element of whimsy to this elegant timepiece.

Unlike the larger 39mm ProPilot X Kermit Edition, the Miss Piggy version’s compact 34mm case houses the Oris 531 movement. This movement, a variation of the Sellita SW100, may not match the technical prowess of Oris’s Calibre 400 but is perfectly suited to the smaller dimensions of the watch. It operates at 4Hz and offers a 42-hour power reserve, ensuring reliability and precision.
Despite any potential reservations about the movement's simplicity, the Oris ProPilot X Miss Piggy Edition stands out for its unique design choices and the luxurious touch of a diamond marker, resonating well with collectors and fans of Miss Piggy. While the watch gears towards a niche audience, its launch is anticipated to be a success, thanks largely to the enduring popularity of Miss Piggy and the craftsmanship of Oris.
The introduction of the Oris ProPilot X Miss Piggy Edition paves the way for future smaller-sized models in the ProPilot X lineup. This move towards more compact designs may attract a wider audience, seeking sophistication in a smaller package. With this launch, Oris continues to blend horological craftsmanship with cultural iconography, creating a timepiece that is as much a statement of fashion as it is a tool of timekeeping.
