NOMOS Glashütte commissioned this timepiece for the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in October 1989. Golden indexes and hands come together on the November gray dial; a continual celebration of togetherness. For those who love unhindered views—through the sapphire crystal glass back you can see how NOMOS manual caliber Alpha divides hours into minutes and into seconds.
Orion 1989 celebrates the fall of the Berlin Wall with twice as much gold (on the indexes and hands), in November gray, and extra large.
The classic NOMOS caliber, Alpha, works with high precision and reliability. Take a look—through the sapphire crystal glass back.
More minimalism: Orion with a 38-millimeter diameter appears exceptionally slender.
