ARMIN STROM Tribute 1 Rose Gold Edition
Swiss-German pioneering independent watchmaker Armin Strom launches the first gold-cased version of its Tribute 1 dress watch with the new Tribute 1 Rose Gold Edition .
The new edition of the 38mm watch , with its off-center dial and unusual exposed motor barrel and bridge , nicely pairs the warm rose gold hue of its case , hands , the even-numbered markers and bridge with the dial ’ s textured anthracite tones .
Previously offered in steel , the Tribute 1 announces one of its primary technical attributes on its hand-polished skeletonized open-worked motor barrel on which the words “ 100 HOURS OF POWER RESERVE ” are engraved . Armin Strom ’ s innovative motor barrel reaches its impressive power reserve thanks to its arbor that turns around the mainspring within the barrel itself , optimizing its efficiency .
Armin Strom devotes equal attention to the finish of its technically advanced , handwound caliber AMW 21 .
Seen through the watch ’ s sapphire caseback is the movement ’ s eye-catching three-quarter bridge adorned with Côtes de Genève decoration . Armin Strom artisan ’ s hand-finish a circular grained pattern on the main plate , while finishing the balance bridge with side graining , anglage , sand blasting and straight graining . Finally , hand-bevelled escapement and the escape bridge edges add to the watch ’ s sense of luxury .
Limited to 100 pieces , the new Armin Strom Tribute 1 Rose Gold Edition is sold with a black alligator strap . Price : $ 23,900 .
