Oris Hölstein Edition 2025vsMKII Hawkinge

The Oris Hölstein Edition 2025 is praised for its stealthy, everyday wearable design with a black DLC coating and a white dial featuring a hidden Oris Bear lume application. It is powered by the in-house Calibre 400 movement, offering a 120-hour power reserve and accuracy rated at -3/+5 seconds per day. The 41mm case, with a thickness of 11.9mm and a lug-to-lug of 49mm, provides wearable proportions, further enhanced by a utilitarian black textile strap. This limited edition of 250 pieces is priced at CHF 4,150. Overall, reviewers highlight the Oris Hölstein Edition 2025 as a distinctive and well-proportioned pilot's watch with a playful design element.

Owners widely praise the MKII Hawkinge for its understated elegance, simplicity, and resemblance to classic military watches, with the all-brushed case finishing described as silky, satiny, and smooth, rivaling watches at significantly higher price points. The 37.8mm case size and no-date display are generally well-received, though some find the 18mm lug width less desirable than 20mm. The stock leather strap is considered impractical, with many preferring thinner Eulit Perlon straps. On balance, owners rate the MKII Hawkinge highly for its exceptional finishing and classic design at its price point.
