The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter Meter - GIGN Limited Edition, released in 2016 with the reference number 01 733 7705 4184-SET 5 23 14FC, is part of the renowned Big Crown collection. This particular model stands out with its substantial 47.0 mm steel case and solid caseback, portraying a robust and utilitarian aesthetic. Notably, it features an integrated Swiss mechanical barometric altimeter and barometer movement, developed in collaboration with Thommen, enabling it to measure altitude in meters and reflect changes in real-time through an aneroid capsule system. The watch was introduced at Baselworld 2014 and is recognized for its precise air pressure measurement capabilities that help determine altitude. In addition to its technical functionalities, this limited edition timepiece pays tribute to the Groupe d’Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale (GIGN), the elite special operations unit of the French police force, with only 500 pieces available. The overall design emphasizes durability and precision, catering particularly to aviation enthusiasts and professionals requiring reliable altimetric data.
