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

Safety instructions
NOMOS uses 316 L stainless steel for all cases and buckles. This type of stainless steel is not fully free of nickel, but it does not pass nickel on to the skin; the amount of nickel in the alloy is about 12 percent. Thus, the amount of nickel passed to the skin is less than 0.2 micrograms per square centimeter per week and far below the medicinally acceptable amount. Other stainless steel alloys might have a lower percentual amount of nickel in the alloy, but they pass more of it on to the skin.
