Orion is reminiscent of other times—both the future and the past. Its lenticular form, when seen from the side, calls to mind a spaceship. Futuristic and yet still traditional, manual caliber Alpha—the very first NOMOS movement—is visible through the sapphire crystal glass back; featuring rubies, blued screws, Glashütte ribbing, sunburst decoration, and NOMOS perlage.
Beautifully reduced to the essentials: Orion. The secret favorite among the designers at NOMOS Glashütte.
The hands shine cornflower blue—entirely without lacquer or coloring. According to old watchmaking traditions, they receive their color by being heated to 290°C.
Made in Glashütte, Germany: Precision timekeeping, award-winning design, and exceptional craftmanship—perfect all around.
Prizes and awards
Prize-winning restraint: Orion’s design, mechanics, and precision have earned it numerous awards.
Impression
A subtle way for a wrist to demonstrate your style: Orion in white with a 35-millimeter diameter, for him, for her, for both.
