———————————————————————————
With a diameter of 43.4 mm, the Orbit is quite a large watch, 2.4 mm larger in diameter than the Gravity Equal Force. The reason for this is the date bezel. I could argue that 43.4 mm is too large, but size is never about just the numbers.
On the wrist, even my modest wrist, the Orbit sits perfectly, is substantial, but definitely not too large, which surprised me. The Orbit has quite an easy-going character, which in part can also be credited to its great bracelet.
The best thing about its latest model is that Armin Strom is clearly moving into the future with a concept that it has mastered so well. The Orbit is tantalizing from a technical perspective but seduces you equally well with its good looks.
Armin Strom has integrated its technical aspects into its design language so well that the engineering makes it look good and the good-looking components help make it look more technical.

The Orbit launched as a limited edition of just 25 pieces, which quickly sold out. However the good news is that Manufacture Edition is available and I have no problem declaring the Orbit the best watch with a date complication currently available.
