Armin Strom Orbit Purple

Armin Strom introduces the Orbit Purple: a striking midnight purple fumé dial housed in a black DLC case, paired with a black fabric strap.

With the Orbit, we’ve created the world’s first on-demand pointer-date on a bezel. And in doing so, we didn’t just rethink a complication — we introduced a whole new experience. Most watches just force the date on you. The date function is always present — whether you like it or not, it shifts at midnight, ticking off another day. The Orbit? It’s different. It only displays the date when you ask.

While the date function shows restraint, the dial doesn’t hold back. The striking purple fumé finish shifts from a vivid purple center to darker edges, drawing the eye in. The purple date pointer and the date on the ceramic bezel match the dial’s color, creating a seamless design. A black DLC-coated case and rugged black textile strap complete the look with high-contrast impact.

Fully hand-finished, the Orbit Purple reflects our deep respect for traditional craftsmanship and hand decoration—paired with a passion for forward-thinking mechanics. Limited to just 20 pieces, it’s a rare blend of quiet innovation and distinctive style.

Because even in Switzerland—where discretion is an art—we know that sometimes, presence speaks louder than discretion.
