In the world of haute horlogerie, there are pieces that tell the time and pieces that capture an essence. With the arrival of the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, the independent house Oris presents a limited edition that is, above all, a statement of intent.
Those born under this sign are known for their overflowing enthusiasm and unwavering confidence. It is this same energy that Oris has bottled in this piece, fusing Swiss precision with one of the most vibrant cultural events on the lunar calendar.
A design that emanates energy and purpose
The first impact is visual. The dial is presented in a deep crimson red, a tone that symbolizes passion, complemented by sub-dials in fiery nuances that give depth to the whole. This dial, protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, features applied indices and hands with Super-LumiNova, ensuring that the reading is impeccable under any light.
The case, made of stainless steel and 43 mm in diameter, maintains a perfect balance between presence and comfort, with a distance of 50 mm between lugs (lug-to-lug) and a thickness of 13.10 mm. To complete the set, Oris has chosen a cordovan leather strap (horsehide) in a rich brown tone, which is secured with a steel folding clasp, providing a noble texture that only the passage of time can improve.
The audacity of Calibre 113
Under the sapphire crystal case back beats the heart of this piece: the Oris Calibre 113. This manual-wound movement is one of the brand's bravest technical statements, offering an impressive 10-day power reserve (240 hours) with a single barrel.
More than just a simple watch, it is a complete business calendar. Its functions include central hands for hours, minutes, week, and month, a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock, and discrete windows for the day and date. A detail full of personality is found in its non-linear power reserve indicator: Oris has added horse motifs that gallop when the spring is wound and rest when it is time to wind it again, symbolizing the balance between intense activity and necessary rest.
Symbolism and exclusivity in 88 pieces
For Chinese culture, the number 8 is synonymous with prosperity. Therefore, this edition is strictly limited to only 88 units worldwide. The number, which represents "double luck," turns each specimen into an immediate object of desire for collectors seeking meaning beyond aesthetics.
Each watch is delivered in a special wooden presentation box, reinforcing its character as a collector's piece. Additionally, the brand's confidence in its engineering translates into an extended five-year warranty through MyOris registration, ensuring that this "Fire Horse" continues to beat with 3 Hz precision for generations.
This watch is a reminder that audacity and technique can go hand in hand. It is a piece designed for those who, like the fire horse, are not afraid to move forward with a steady step and elegance toward their goals.
