Gray is credible, the color of knowledge, more complex than white or black, perhaps even: more thrilling. And it is the color of a big watch from Glashütte, powered by the highly-praised NOMOS manual caliber Alpha: at 38 millimeters, this Orion cuts a more modern, flatter, and more emphatic figure.
Gray is credible, elegantly exciting. And the color of this larger version of Orion.
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.
Prizes and awards
Prize-winning restraint: Orion’s design, mechanics, and precision have earned it numerous awards.
Impression
Minimalism, a tick larger Generously proportioned and yet reserved: Orion refined in gray, three millimeters larger than the original version. Its elegant lugs and flowing lines make this watch appear even more slender than other NOMOS models.

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.
