Imagine you’re at your Grandma’s funeral and someone shows up wearing a kermit the frog watch 😂
😆👍🏻
Gotta put the F.U.N. back in funeral 😂👍🏾
……
@@SpaceG95 😂💀
I'm shaking their hand and admiring the piece!! Grandma (mine anyway) would have done the same I promise 😊.
Screw Rolex, this is a real Kermit.
Really hope this watch takes the title of "the Kermit"
Oris: "Let's put Kermit on our watch."
Rolex: "You fucking wot, mate?"
I like how they are sorta poking fun at Rolex with this Kermit.
Now we need a salmon or Pink dial Miss Piggy edition.
They should put Miss Piggy's face on a random date
I love Kermit, so, this would be a "fun" watch at under $2k, but that $4600 list price pushes this out of the whimsy market.
Propilot x series is a way overpriced watch which sucks because it's so nice on the wrist. ADs are selling them for around $2400-$2800 new because that's the only way to sell them. They're still overpriced at that level imo
@@fark69 will they do that with this watch ???
What are you talking about with that 10 year warranty, 5 day power reserve and that kind of finish it is appropriately priced.
1,500 usd at most. Fu oris
@@Dranreb865 clueless
Wonderfully playful watch by Oris. It makes me wonder if they'll add a "Count" Edition to a Muppets collection. It seems to me as very on-point for counting the numbers of time as they pass.
I'd buy that.
In black DLC..with mat black dial and white markers...YES!!! ... also, Big Bird with a Yellow dial...... Miss Piggy with a Pink Dial.... Oscar the Grouch in oxidized bronze with a Brown dial....
That would be a fun complication to announce each hour
One, two, three, three o’clock ah ah ah (in the Count’s voice)
Yeah I’d buy one of those.
Kermit is best known for The Muppet Show. He is a muppet… Nice watch.
Oris got the memo and took it literally . . . love it.
Seriously. This piece honestly blew Rolex's entire new releases out of the water.
ROTFLMAO not even close kid. I know oris is the go to hip millenilness trending thing, but no, oris is fine, this children's edition is just weird, but Rolex has worn the crown for better part of a century
👍👍
In terms of silliness, this one is at least on par with Rolex.
Really wanted to love (and buy) this, but lack of adjustability on the bracelet puts me off a bit
I like the gumball machine look Rolex went for. The answer to the parking meter watch.
I can’t believe how epic this is. I hope they do this for one of my lifetime heroes, 🍪 Monster. I appreciate being able to do my senior seminar on his philosophy & to wear a watch in his likeness would bring it full circle. Cheers!
I never really looked twice at Oris’ pro pilot x model family, but this one is a real game changer for me. I really resonated with the story of what this watch represents and to make a long story short I am definitely picking one up! Excellent content as always Teddy! 👍🏼👍🏼
Oris playing a blinder here. A fun watch like this is a must for every collector who doesn’t take life too seriously!
Awesome! Love these character watches like Omega's snoopy and Timex peanut collection. Makes it that much more fun
I'm getting +/- zero to one second per day so far. This movement is incredible.
This is perfect! My 8-year-old nephew has been wondering what to do with the £4k he's saved.
8 year old these days have never heard of Kermit and don't know who that is
How does an 8 year old save £4k?
The bracelet and clasp design is very futuristic
Love this! Making things "not-so-serious" in the watch industry ... but that PRICE? Now THAT'S serious!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
All in the movement... in-house development with a 10 year warranty isn't cheap, especially at their volume.
@@silvestrocrino3256 - Totally agree. If I had the budget, I'd buy it in a heartbeat 🙂
Since Oris sent the mail with the teaser of the incoming novelties, I was expecting a PP of this color because it was easy to identify the PP bezel. But they also add Kermit the frog. God, that's genius! 💚
pp is just lazy. ruining their calatrava line with...basically everything they've introduced the past few years. still waiting for a sucessor to the 5196.
I love Oris. It was my first Swiss watch 30 years ago. So I bought the ProPilot Coulson. It featured the Caliber 400, carbon fiber, nice strap, and a dial with applied numbers and markers, unlike most ProPilots, which are printed. I bought it in memory of my brother, a firefighter killed fighting a fire with Coulson trying to drop enough retardant overhead. I loved the watch.
Then, at a watch show in San Francisco, the CEO of Oris North America noticed that the date wheel on the watch had stopped working. Fortunately, I had registered for the 10 year warranty and the watch was only a few weeks old, so my AD sent it to Oris for repair. But even though I was in the database and registered, Oris refused to honor their warranty because I’d bought it online from a grey market seller (who had purchased it from an AD but sold it to me new).
In short, Oris decided to punish me, a paying customer who loves the brand, not the offending dealer. When I offered to pay for a repair, they refused. Their position was "why? Because we have the proprietary parts to the Cal 400, so f*ck you, that's why." I sent a detailed note to VJ Geronimo the Oris CEO who had spotted the stuck date wheel. He never replied. Fortunately, Watchmaxx honored their warranty and replaced the watch with a new one. I promptly sold it because every time I looked at it, I was reminded not of my brother, but of the shabby treatment that Oris had given me.
I still like Oris and will keep a S/G pointer date. But this was a heartbreaker 😢 and seriously annoying.
That is scary And very sad story. Its leaving you up in the Air. The Seiko Service Center Will take care of Seiko Watch customers. And so does Rolex Service Center take of Rolex Watch customer.
I was considering getting the pre-loved 2023 Propilot X And ready to pull the trigger. But because of this story , it made me think twice, trice now of considering my purchase. I understand too ORIS watches have appearing design, but For help, I dont know man.
Thanks For sharing the story.
At first I was like "that green dial is a bit too much" but the more I see it, the more I like it. As for the price, I think it is reasonable. Don't forget that you are getting a 10 year warranty and an in-house calibre with 5 day power reserve. Have to say that at this price point, as far as the insides of the watch go, you can't beat it. Lovely video as always
This looks like a great fun watch that will make people smile. Love it. Gives me studio underdog vibes. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I own a Big Crown Pointer Date which I adore, but I have tried one of these on (albeit not in the green) and they're crazy comfortable and a bit of a sleeper.
You had my curiosity, now you have my attention
We have a saying here in England, “ taking the piss” I can’t work out if this is ridiculous or it’s absolutely brilliant
“Look, it’s a Kermit.” I spent the entire video expecting you to say it was a joke.
While not my choice for a couple grand, I love the sense of humor. I really like that Oris continues to be bold and fun, but has quality watches at its core.
I had to check the calendar; it's perilously close to the first of April… April Fools day! But I clicked the link to Oris' site and it really looks legit!
Frankly, I like this bit of whimsy from Oris MUCH more than that silly Rolex puzzle dial DayDate with affirmative moods in place of the days and emojis substituting for the date. That said, one of those watches will be worth multiple tens of thousands in a few years and I fear it will be Kermit who's the chap left weeping into his hot cocoa. Shame!
@@thomashrubecky1663 it's sad that this and the Rolex OP are around the same price retail...
I love it and I will be actively searching one out in the future. They should do a whole line of muppets. Red Elmo, Yellow Big Bird, etc.
Between this and the Rolex OP Celebration 2023 is a funny year!
Love the color and ProPilot X line but I can’t get over the “Lift” signed clasp.
It's supposed to be a seat belt buckle (which you cannot tell anyone and keep a straight face).
i really like the pro pilot x line, the salmon pink face is so fun and this kermit version is so cool however i was so shocked to see that the second hand in this example look really roughly finished. you can see part of it is chewed up
I’m not going to lie , but I seriously want this watch
I have a tie in the same color. Would fit perfectly. Then again it’s a tie i only wore about once, since it’s way too loud…
Wear this on Wednesday is a must
Kind of difficult to read the indices , but cool and fun watch nonetheless. Wonder if it’ll do well with consumers and collectors.
April 1st early. I love it!
Very nice strap
I actually love it, though I am a Kermit fan. That price makes it tough. So like with the Omega Seamaster NTTD, I really wish it were a couple of thousand dollars less and then I would add to cart.
Genius design .
Yes. It's a yes.
I’m not sure about Kermit the frog but the caliber 400 has peaked my interest big time! Great video man!!
*Piqued
Kermit was part of the Muppet show. Its strange they used the name Kermit when the Rolex green sub had taken over that nick name…
Did Oris ever get to fix the 400 caliber's minute-hand setting accurately issue solved?
Matt dials tend to look cheap when the watch is in hand and up close, really dig the Kermit collaboration, but will wait until the watch is in the shops for a closer look.
I love it!!!!!!!
Is the kermit logo switching from day to day or is it always the same?
Oris Kermit watch is not a limited edition but seeing how few are available what will the limit be?
Bring on the teal Zoot version!
I fell in love when i saw the ad but i saw the price and said noppee maybe in the future
Cool watch
Bruh Kermit was one of the Muppets, not Sesame Street 🤣🤣Love the watch though!
Kermit was on both shows. Very versatile and talented actor, that Kermit......
If you want to get technical with the history Kermit got his start on SNL. He didn't go to Sesame Street until after Loren Michaels canned him in the first season. But no one remembers that.
Is that a barf colored dial?
This is a neat novelty, but it's got the same msrp as the Tudor Pelagos 39...
charming watch - but why so expensive?
Let me do it for youuu, Kermit🐸
I’m not at all into the muppets but Oris did a great job here. Like others have said, I would have to see it in person. They tend to be a bit underwhelming up close. Also $4600 is a lot for a playful piece like this. If it was a couple grand cheaper then I’d be all in
You can likely get it for a couple grand cheaper from an AD or grey dealer like Jomashop. I don't think they'll sell very many at list price
I don't know why, but I like it.
I like them all.
I think this will happen more often. Rolex Day Date has an emoji version as well. I would love to be able to buy custom day and date wheels to fit my personality.
Yeah custom day / date wheels would definitely be a huge seller. I'm sure some microbrand will put that out pretty soon
I remebering someone on the Oris post for this watch asking for info on when the Kermit face comes up on the date counter and I kid you not whoever manages their page replies "it comes up on the first of the month, that's Kermit's day;" KERMIT'S DAY! I've wanted one ever since.
I want one...
The markers should be applied Ti to match the case - especially at that price. I don’t understand using kids’ cartoons or puppets on luxury watches. What’s next - a Hamburglar Black Bay 58?
I think the price is fair actually. It contains an in house calibre that took years to develop, sapphire crystal with AR coating and a titanium case. The +200 over the standard ProPilot X can also be justified with the licensing costs to Disney etc. My only real issues are the lack of micro-adjust and the painted indices given the price point. Neither are deal breakers though and I can't wait to pick mine up!
How much do you think sapphire adds to the price? 50 €? 100€? Not more probably
@@polielie nowhere close to that. There are loads of watches under $100 with sapphire crystal
Would only buy it at 2k
On the Oris website, this model is 43mm, is it a mistake here or are there 2 versions?
Many of Oris' offerings are oversized and chunky. I have a Big Crown Pointer Date that's reasonably sized for my 6.5" wrists.
hope they release a red fraggle
Why not make the dial all lume. Missed opportunity.
Def getting this watch price point lil high but idc i dont need a used “rolex”
Are Oris just trolling Rolex with this release?
Why is that
So what Kermit does it show when the date changes? Surprised went through the whole video it didn't show that
it's awsome
Love this watch family, I think the case and bracelet are on-point but this particular one…
…not for me.
I don’t hate the green, but I felt like all the specs outlined in this video were kinda pointless because I can’t get past that it is a novelty watch. Oh, and it’s four and a half grand!!!
Actually pretty awesome lol. Oris watches always look so cool on a screen but I’m always surprised at how underwhelming they are in hand. The Aquis especially, so plain and unremarkable for the same price as a Seamaster? I don’t get it.
Other "face wheel" positions?
Money is no object!
Imagine yourself showing at a funeral wearing the kermit frog watch 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😂
What happened with your fragrance channel? Haven't been any uploads in a while, I miss you guys making videos about fragrances.
He wasn’t part of Sesame Street. He was part of the Muppet Show if memory serves correctly
He was.
Yes he was on Sesame Street
He was created in 1955 by Jim Henson for The Muppet Show. He did make appearances on Sesame Street; however, his most notable roles were associated with The Muppet Show, The Muppet Movies and later in the cartoon series, The Muppet Babies.
Now only if they had a hermit watch!
"©Disney" just what I wanted on my next watch!
Pretty cool but every day should be Kermit day
Love it but the price is out of my budget.
I have a casio and my conversation starter is hello :D
A fun watch I like it. 🤩 Who likes it? 👍
I like it. 🐸
Much as I love the angular case design, bracelet & that awesome clasp - the dials on these ProPilot X's for some reason always seem like they're lacking something & look rather plain.
Agreed. $4,300 for painted on markers just doesn't cut it.
I had the same thought then tried them on in person and I thought the blue dial was the best. The dials are plain but the rest of the watch is so cool that the plain dial kind of goes well with it.
The list price is not what you'll pay though. You'll 100% get a discount on any Propilot X from an AD and I see these on Jomashop regularly for $2400-$2800. Still a bit pricey imo, because the competition is fierce in this price point (a Sinn 556i is around $100-$1500 and I think the fully tegimented U50 can be had around the price of this watch...)
I mean I totally get why it costs so much but for a fun watch it's unfortunate way out of my pricerange. Quite sad since it's so cool!
Honestly, I love it
REAL kermit
It's great fun, but with that price tag, I expect the target buyer to be a mix of kids with rich parents & a handful of nerdy collectors.
That would be one HOP forward. 🙂
Honestly just want it cause kermit watch but more adult if its was 1k like timex or a zodiac yah
Kermit the frog is of the most popular characters in the Marvel Comic Universe
Fun
Love the regular Propilot X design. However, I still can't get over the fact that they retail for $4,300 but only have painted-on indices. Seems chintzy, considering the price.
I'm picking up this piece today and it's the only thing that really gets me! I feel that the development that went into the Calibre plus the material make it worth it. +200 over the standard version for Kermit is fine given licencing etc. But painted indices on a near 4k watch does leave a bad taste!
@@jasperdean6198 how are you enjoying it? How is the yellow green in person?
@@almac9203 it's been a disaster dude. Had an awful experience in the AD with a saleswoman who had no idea what she was doing. Got the watch home and it was running 5 MINUTES PER HOUR FAST!! Best the AD could offer was a 12 week estimate on a service without even swapping it as a brand new product. I went for a full refund! Very impressed 😂
Now this is intriguing 😊
Oh it’s a Disney license never mind it’s a big no for me
Yuck, I agree although he did make it from 1955 to 2009 before selling out to the dark side. 😢
It's not easy being Green.
LOL, Not at $4600 it sure isn't.🤣
You think Jordan Peterson will get this one?
Perfect watch for landlords on the first lol
If it was not for the picture on the date, I would call this watch: The Ninja Turtle.
it is from The Muppet Show 🐸
That watch would look cool in skeleton. Not for the face of it but the bracelet is stunning.
There is a skeleton version of the watch. No Kermit though
Nope for me. It's nice but that lemon green dial with the white indices gives me a headache trying to read the time. Oris should've gone with darker indices and a blued or coloured hands.
