Laurent's opinion
A watch that only tells you the date if you ask it politely... obviously, I love it. The Orbit Purple is a bit like a superhero in a purple tuxedo: unpredictable, elegant, and always ready to break the mold.

Armin Strom Orbit Purple: the art of the date reinvented in an intense Midnight Purple

Armin Strom unveils an exclusive and daring edition: the Orbit Purple, a technical, expressive and refined watch, limited to just 20 pieces worldwide.

This high-end mechanical watch immediately stands out with its Midnight Purple gradient smoked dial, which transitions from an intense purple in the center to darker tones at the edges. This striking color is enhanced by a black DLC-coated stainless steel case and a sturdy black fabric strap, creating a contrast that is as elegant as it is striking.

A world first: the on-demand date hand

The Armin Strom Orbit is not just a complicated watch. It is the first automatic watch with an on-demand date hand, located on a technical ceramic bezel. Unlike traditional watches, which display the date continuously, the Orbit displays the date only when you decide. A watchmaking innovation that redefines the relationship between the wearer and time.

A watch design that is both radical and balanced

Every detail of the Orbit Purple has been designed to appeal to lovers of exceptional Swiss watches. The date pointer and bezel markings echo the purple hue of the dial, creating a rare visual harmony in the world of watchmaking. Inside, the Armin Strom manufacture movement, finished by hand, is a testament to Swiss craftsmanship and the company’s commitment to high-end contemporary watchmaking.

Innovation at the service of style — in a very limited edition

With only 20 pieces produced, the Orbit Purple is a collector’s watch, designed for those who want to wear an innovative and exclusive watch without compromising on design, performance, or originality. It embodies Armin Strom’s vision: to push the boundaries of complication while paying homage to Swiss watchmaking tradition.
