Introducing The Oris Big Crown D.26 286 HB-RAG Limited Editi
The Oris Big Crown is back in the air.
We have a new watch from Oris to announce this afternoon. It’s a limited edition pilot’s timepiece in the Big Crown family, and it’s named after the Dewoitine D.26, a French-designed, Swiss-made propeller plane that was long used to train pilots for the Swiss Air Force way back in 1931. The aircraft was a trainer version of the monoplane D.27 fighter aircraft, of which a total of 66 were made.
We owe this new limited edition’s existence to a group of volunteer enthusiasts known as Hanger 31, who preserve and regularly fly one of two extant Dewoitine D.26s from a base in the Swiss town of Grenchen.
