A Bold Vision from Beyond Earth
The BEHRENS Orion One is more than just a timepiece, it's a micro-mechanical sculpture, drawing inspiration from sci-fi narratives and futuristic exploration. Designed from the ground up, Orion One imagines what a Mothership from outer space might look like if transformed into a wristwatch. The result is a bold, faceted design with over 40 uniquely shaped and polished surfaces, forming one of BEHRENS’ most complex and daring cases to date.
A Case That Defies Convention
At the heart of Orion One’s identity is its multi-faceted case, a sleek yet angular form crafted from 316L stainless steel. Measuring 44mm in length, 38mm in width, and 12.6mm in thickness, the watch feels futuristic yet ergonomic. The engraved case back depicts the outline of the imagined alien Mothership, reinforcing the concept behind the watch's design.
Orion One introduces a patented hidden lever system that replaces the traditional crown. This clever mechanism allows the user to wind and set the watch by simply sliding the integrated lever, preserving the symmetry and aesthetics of the watch while enhancing playability.
Mechanical Art with Purpose
Powering the Orion One is the Cal. SWB18-200 automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and offering a 38-hour power reserve. The design reflects BEHRENS’ commitment to the “time on a circular axis” philosophy, brought to life through an entirely reconstructed mechanism with over 30 custom components.
At the 6 o’clock position, you’ll find the dual-axis roller display: one roller shows the hours, the other the minutes. These rollers are decorated with 3D luminous numerals for enhanced depth and legibility, and are powered by a unique pinion gearing system developed by BEHRENS.
The central subdial features a raised seconds hand, functioning as a “radar” within the Mothership theme. At 1:30, a date window adds practical utility. Additionally, a linear 24-hour Day/Night indicator, inspired by vintage music boxes, enhances the conceptual storytelling of this highly imaginative timepiece.
Comfort and Customization
The Orion One comes fitted with a quick-release patented strap system, allowing for seamless strap changes using a simple pusher mechanism. This innovation ensures maximum ease of use and personalization.
Water resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM), the Orion One is designed not only to impress visually, but to stand up to everyday wear as well.
