Armin Strom Tribute 1 California Blue

Armin Strom Tribute 1 California Blue

This interpretation of the Armin Strom Tribute 1, the brand’s popular modern dress watch, takes its name from the so-called California dial, which is distinguished by its alternating Roman and Arabic numerals. The dial,  features bar markers and a traditional railway track minute ring. The visibility of the barrel on the dial makes the Tribute 1 California resolutely modern while the California dial gives it a pleasing vintage flair.

The “fumé” dials in each of the colours incorporate a sunburst pattern with a gradient effect: towards the centre of the dial, the colour is quite light and becomes deeper and darker towards the outer edge. The effect is at once understated and dramatic and is complemented by the dial’s contrast to the black guilloché plate.
