Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II is the result of the partnership between Oris and Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Oris first worked with the non-profit organisation in 2013, and this year the two come together again in a second limited edition watch.

Like the first limited edition watch, the new model features a pulsometer, used to take a patient's pulse. Oris has upgraded the pulsometer on the new watch, scaling it over 20 heartbeats for even faster readings. The watch's bi-directional rotating bezel means measurement can start at any time.

The Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II is based on Oris's legendary Big Crown collection. A pilot's watch should be reliable and easy to read, hence the new watch's oversized 45mm stainless steel case, black dial and clear Super-LumiNova numerals and hands.

The pulsometer scale is in a contrasting deep orange, not only a colour the eye picks up quickly, but also a reference to the earth in Australia's Outback where much of the Royal Flying Doctor Service's work takes place. The watch's bi-rotating bezel can also be used as a timer or a second time zone. It has an automatic movement Oris Cal. 735, based on Sellita SW 220-1, with day and date at 3 o'clock.

The organisation's logo appears on the dial ring at 12 o'clock and is also embossed on the case back. The watch is presented in a luxurious wooden presentation case that comes with a medal bearing the logo.
