Come back with me to 1992. A gallon of gas cost $1. McDonald’s opened it’s first restaurant in Beijing. Aladdin and Sister Act were taking theaters by storm. A sewer exploded in Mexico. And Alexander Burhans released his unique Orbit watch with clever dotted date window.
You can relive those heady days withe the reissue of the Orbit. This quartz piece features a white face surrounded by a ring of numbers and a little dot that signals the data. The Kickstarter is closed but we’re waiting patiently for them to start selling this on their site.
The watch also comes in women’s sizes and with a black face.
Some details:
But considering today’s watches, the former model was a relatively small men’s wristwatch (only ø 36 mm).
