Launched in 2021, the Antarctique Rattrapante is enhanced by a surprising innovation that magnifies the beauty of the mechanism on the dial side: the metal face of a robot sculpted in titanium, hand-polished and then laser-engraved. As soon as the chronograph is activated, its eyes change colour: initially, they light up yellow (a nod to the Shrikes in the film Mortal Engines). When stopped, they glow red and when reset, they turn blue.
The watchmaker has unveiled the Oris X Bamford Watch Department ProPilot Altimeter “Mission Control”, a 250-piece limited edition propelling the iconic altimeter to new heights.
