After the unexpected success of 2023’s Oris ProPilot X Kermit Edition, Swiss watchmaker Oris is back with another whimsical collaboration. This time, the brand pays homage to Miss Piggy, the world’s most glamorous Muppet, with the newly launched Oris ProPilot X Miss Piggy Edition. Featuring a bold pink color scheme, a diamond-set dial, and a playful “peekaboo” caseback showcasing Miss Piggy herself, this timepiece brings fun and fashion together seamlessly.
A Feminine Take on the ProPilot X Design
The Miss Piggy Edition adopts a 34mm version of the ProPilot X’s angular case design. Crafted from stainless steel, this smaller, lighter take on the high-tech sports watch contrasts its brushed lugs and faceted crown guards with a polished, split bezel. Inspired by jet turbines, this bezel adds a touch of elegance to the sporty aesthetic. Despite its ornamental appeal, the watch retains robust performance, offering 100 meters of water resistance. The caseback features a miniature mineral glass aperture, through which a printed rotor occasionally reveals an image of Miss Piggy herself.
A Dial That Demands Attention
Naturally, the dial’s standout feature is its deep hot pink hue, a bold and vibrant homage to Miss Piggy. To maintain focus on this striking color, Oris opts for a minimalist design, with tone-on-tone text and a sterilized outer chapter ring. Ruby-hued hour markers complement the main color, while the 12 o’clock marker is replaced by a glamorous baguette-cut diamond, adding a touch of luxury to this fun-loving design.
Performance Meets Playfulness
Inside, the Oris 531 automatic movement powers the watch with a 42-hour power reserve and a 28,800 bph beat rate. The bracelet also gets a stylish upgrade, featuring polished outer links to match the case’s refined finish, while a seatbelt buckle-style clasp completes the look.
An Offbeat Collaboration with Lasting Charm
Oris’ partnership with the Muppets has become a hallmark of creativity in watchmaking, and the Miss Piggy Edition continues this tradition with flair. Available now through authorized dealers, this vibrant timepiece is priced at $3,200 USD, making it a perfect blend of luxury and lightheartedness.
