Your one-minute primer to the Nomos Glashütte Orion Neomatik.

An excellent starter piece for watch neophytes, the Orion Neomatik also ought to be on the radar of those who are looking for an affordable timepiece with an in-house mechanical movement. By now, Nomos devotees should be familiar with the new automatic DUW 3001 calibre, which is fitted across the Glashütte-based manufacture’s novelties, and here time-telling is reduced to its very essence. Benefitting from the movement’s thinness, the Orion is ultra slim at 8.45mm, and a vision of refined simplicity as its white dial, and slender hands and indexes are framed by a 36mm case in polished stainless steel.
