Automatic movement (Cal.ASS20). 30 jewels. 25,200 vibrations/hour. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. Stainless steel case (43.4mm diameter, 12.6mm thickness). 5 ATM water resistance. Limited edition of 20 pieces worldwide. Estimated price: 8,030,000 yen (including tax).

 Armin Strom's "Orbit" is a timepiece featuring an innovative on-demand date display mechanism. By operating the pusher at the 10 o'clock position, the date hand, which is stationary in the neutral position at 12 o'clock, rotates to point to the correct date on the bezel's scale—a truly unique mechanism.

The sporty silhouette, with its integrated case and bracelet, is another distinctive feature, and the black ceramic bezel insert gives the watch a more refined look.

 A key feature of this new model is the bold use of the signature purple color on the dial, which reveals the mechanism. The offset center dial features a gradient from the center outwards, further highlighting the depth of the movement's structure.

 Furthermore, this model features the first-ever use of midnight purple on the movement's main plate. This emphasizes the visual continuity with the hour and minute display, and the frosted finish adds a textural contrast with the rhodium-plated components and hand-finished finger bridge.

The offset center dial features hands and indices coated with Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility. In particular, the Arabic numerals at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions are carved from blocks of Super-LumiNova, giving them a three-dimensional finish.

 The movement continues to feature the in-house developed and manufactured Cal.ASS20. From the dial side, in addition to the meticulous hand-polished decoration, the column wheel and lever that control the movement of the date hand can be seen near the 10 o'clock position. Furthermore, the patented "Equal Force Barrel" ensures a stable energy supply and achieves a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.
