Oris x Wings of Hope Limited Edition
Today we're thrilled to announce our collaboration with the pioneering aeronautical humanitarian organization Wings of Hope, and introduce two limited edition watches powered by Calibre 401.
Wings of Hope is a US-based aeronautical humanitarian organization founded 60 years ago. Twice nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, Wings of Hope has used the power of aviation to bring medical support to remote and vulnerable communities in more than 50 countries. In 2021, more than 65,000 people used the organization's programs and services.
Wings of Hope relies heavily on donors and volunteers. Last year, 350 volunteers gave their time. Fuel costs are covered by donations. Sometimes, donations come in the form of aircraft, and if these can’t be used at one of Wings of Hope’s 11 field bases, they’re sold to fund the mission. This way, 86 cents of every dollar given to the organization goes directly into funding its programs.
The Oris Wings of Hope Limited Edition watches will support its mission, too. We’re making two models, both based on our signature Big Crown pilot’s watch, and both powered by Calibre 401, one of our high-performance five-day automatic movements. One is in 40 mm in steel and limited to 1,000 pieces; the other features a 38 mm solid 18-carat yellow gold case and is limited to 100 pieces. Both come on Cervo Volante sustainable deer leather straps. It’s an exciting collaboration – because together we can bring Change for the Better.
The Wings of Hope Limited Edition in Stainless Steel is limited to 1,000 pieces and priced at $3,700 USD, 4,700 CAD. The Wings of Hope Gold Limited Edition is limited to 100 pieces and priced at $17,000 USD, 21,600 CAD. Both pieces come in a special presentation box with numbered certificate.
