The Orbita Lunae has for me the best design of Svend Andersen's watches
May 15, 2018,10:14 AM
Svend Andersen favours the bold sans-serif type. For my taste, this type does not always fit the traditional design of the case. But on the Orbita Lunae the slightly tuned type makes the numerals an integral part of the dial design, making it look fresh and modern, but still matching the rest of the watch.
When I had a bespoke world timer made by him (with retrograd hours display), for space reasons it was unfortunately not possible to apply the type of the Orbita Lunae. But at least I could also get a guilloche engraved blue gold dial on my watch.
