In fact, it is the most successful Catalina in history, sinking three German U-boats and irreparably damaging an important supply-vessel for the Axis navy during World War II.

And in the event of a water landing, thank your lucky stars you are in a sea-plane! And, to be fair, Oris didn’t disappoint! So, for the next few minutes, remain seated with your seatbelt fastened tightly. You never see a journalist driving an F1 car to test a racing Chronograph, do you? Oris released their Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter earlier this year, and cordially invited us to appropriately test-drive the world’s first automatic, mechanical altimeter in a wristwatch. Chocks away, chaps! Monochrome is taking to the skies, literally! We have been testing a watch in the environment it was designed for, which surprisingly doesn’t happen too often.
