The 1972 Orbit Robot timepiece shows off the perfect fusion between the stylish design cues of an era and the reliability of a functional tool watch. Given the rarity of this particular model, it was important for BENRUS to celebrate it by maintaining the exact and very contemporary dimensions as the original with every step taken to bring forward the same design, but with improved performance with modern day materials. Featuring the same classic 41mm 'UFO' cushion case style in stainless steel with matching bracelet, the new BENRUS Orbit Robot is a funky yet fashionable Swiss Made dive timepiece. One of the stand-out features of the original and the current reissue is the grey fum dial, which was paid particular attention to in order to fully replicate the depth and radiance of the original grey watch model. The center of the dial starts with a light grey metallic and darkens as you move towards the outer edge, finished with orange and white hands. Additional features include a Soprod P024 Swiss movement, domed sapphire crystal, BGW9 Super-LumiNova on hour indices, and hands, stainless steel friction fit bezel with lumed 12 oclock triangle, and screw-down crown for 20ATM water resistance. For maximum versatility and without changing the overall dimensions, the inner lug size has been increased to accommodate 20mm straps.The case back features a custom BENRUS robot orbiting the Earth, a fun update made to honor the name of the watch.
