Minimal, harmonious, and now with a touch of gold
Orion hearkens back to the original Glashütte master design. Not the minimalist design of recent years, but rather a watch made the way aspiring master watchmakers did at the Glashütte School of Watchmaking — with a silver case, hand-polished dial, and indexes applied by hand. This latest Orion release is part of a capsule of sorts, with two sizes and two dial colors: this gold, and a slightly larger silver version each with facetted, hand-applied markers – a perfect gifting pair, but exceptional on their own as well.
Inside beats the classic engine from NOMOS Glashütte, and the brand's very first: the handcrafted and manually wound Alpha caliber, which keeps on running—highly precise and highly praised, you only need to wind it once every two days.
