New Arrival : Nomos Orion private label (Bank of Moscow) LE (27/50)

[KennethRSloan]

From 2005, with presentation box and papers. Seems to have been commissioned to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Bank of Moscow. Display back.

I have my Omegas - now I have an Alpha.

The seller seemed to put great stock on the 27/50 LE - until no one bid. I got it for about what you'd expect to pay for an ordinary Nomos Orion in this condition. If the unusual dial and LE engraving on the case add value, it's a bonus.

A cursory reading of the history of the Bank of Moscow indicates that *something* happened around 2005 - perhaps this was part of a "thank you for your service; your services are no longer required" event. Anyone know?

About 35mm - which works for me. The nice leather band required one more hole to fit me. How does it look?
