Armin Strom Tribute 1 Green

From the Orbit to the Mirror Force Resonance, Biel-based Armin Strom has created some of the industry’s most technically interesting and innovative timepieces. It’s not only the highest levels of complicated watchmaking where Armin Strom stands out though. With an all-new model, the brand presents its latest edition of its time-only wristwatch – the Tribute 1 Green.

The Tribute 1 Green from Armin Strom subscribes to the classical dress watch size at 38mm with the  simplicity of time-only, but with the brand’s distinct, modern design sensibilities. This edition of the Tribute 1 represents nature – the forests and fields – with its deep green color. The off-center dial, the signature design of the Tribute 1, is adorned with grain d’orge guilloché pattern and Roman numerals with a frosted sundial that creates a richly textured evergreen backdrop.

Pulling from their Swiss-German origins, the balance between the rich green dial and the exposed barrel and barrel bridge create a timepiece with a more industrially-designed aesthetic. The combination of the off-center dial, matte and glossy textures, guillochage alongside the shine of hand-finished barrel and bridge, all make the watch feel more exciting than a traditional, dressy three-hander.

Turning the timepiece over, the Tribute 1 Green features caliber AMW21 – a manual-wind movement with an impressive 100-hour power reserve. Crafted out of 135 components, the movement is well finished with striping on the mainplate, beveling, polished screws and countersinks. Limited to 50 pieces in stainless steel, this is a timepiece that strikes a rare balance between classical dimensions and modern aesthetics.
