Armin Strom Orbit Light Green & Ice Blue

Armin Strom unveils the Orbit Lime Green and Orbit Ice Blue

Refreshing dials for the System 78 Collection

Armin Strom, the independent Swiss watch manufacturer, is pleased to announce the latest additions to the System 78 collection: the Orbit Lime Green and Orbit Ice Blue. These models feature fumé dials, offering a choice between the Lime Green and the Ice Blue. The Lime Green model stands out with a vibrant and energetic presence, while the Ice Blue version brings a refined and calm aesthetic to the collection. Both dials feature a gradient effect that enhances the visual depth of the openworked design, highlighting Armin Strom’s commitment to contemporary style and technical excellence.

Innovative mechanics and design

At the heart of the new Orbit models is the Manufacture Caliber ASS20 – the world’s first movement to feature a date display on a ceramic bezel that appears only on demand. By pressing the pusher at 10 o’clock, the date hand is activated and points to the current date on the bezel. While the date remains active, the hand advances automatically at midnight each day. A second press of the pusher sends the hand back to its neutral position at 12 o’clock. The underlying column-wheel mechanism enables precise, fluid operation – a playfully interactive complication with real functional value. Powering it all is Armin Strom’s patented Equal Force Barrel, which delivers consistent energy for a stable 72-hour power reserve.

Craftsmanship in every detail

Each component of the Orbit models is hand-finished at our Manufacture, where traditional techniques such as anglage, perlage and circular graining are employed to achieve high standards of quality and craftsmanship. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal highlights the details of the off-center dial on the left, while the right side reveals three hand-finished finger bridges. The gradient dials transition from a central hue to a deep black at the edges, creating a contrast with the rhodium-coated, Super-LumiNova®-enhanced hour and minute hands. Limited to just 20 pieces each, the Orbit Lime Green and Orbit Ice Blue are presented in a stainless steel case with a matching bracelet.
