Orion, Expressed with Poetic Flair and Advanced Craftsmanship

The "1966 Collection," known for its rounded, ultra-thin case, subtly hued dials, leaf-shaped hands, and tapered indices, welcomes new additions that imbue it with a modern allure.

The trilogy pays homage to the grand myth of Zeus placing the giant hunter in the heavens as the constellation Orion. It comprises three elegant models that poetically render the three exceptionally bright stars in the hunter's belt.

The collection features striking contrasts: domed aventurine dials in black or blue, reminiscent of a celestial sphere, are complemented by the interplay of silver, black, and gold hues used for the case and indices.

Beyond their stellar beauty, the "1966 Orion Trilogy" also captivates with its exceptional watchmaking prowess, integrating the ultra-thin aventurine dial within a domed form.
