This Oris Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition watch is very faithful to Oris’ recently discovered first pilot’s watch. Oris believed their first pilot’s watch was the 1938 Big Crown, but it turns out there was a previous model that dated back to 1917, which conveniently makes this year its 100th anniversary. The watch reliably sticks to its vintage pilot’s watch aesthetic while having contemporary modifications like a modern 40mm case size, the convenience of an automatic movement (which is still a little odd considering the onion crown), and the practical benefits of lume on the dial. There are, of course, 1,917 pieces of the watch being produced. 

Great Collector's item in mint condition!
