Orion has opened preorders on their latest model, the Hellcat.
The Hellcat is a modestly sized pilot style watch. Following case design cues from the Calamity, Orion 1, and Sylph it blends in and stands out as a family member of the Orion collection. Debuting on the Hellcat is the new and unique Orion typeface, numerals and letters designed solely for and by Orion.
The Hellcat features a polished and curved caseback to ergonomically provide more comfort on the wrist. The crown guards have been done away with on this case, maintaining the design expectations of a pilot’s watch, that the crown should be tactile and easily manipulated. The Hellcat will also ship on a handmade strap,
Preorder is priced at $600
Estimated delivery is April 2020
NOTE about preorders from Orion:
Pre-orders are the first chance at securing a watch that will be produced in small batches. It is also a model that allows us to fund new designs and develop the brand. To ensure things run smoothly we have a few pre-order agreements, that by placing an order are agreed to.
Pre-orders are non refundable.
Production runs generally take around 5-6 months, but delays with things like customs or some unforeseen force are always a possibility. Delivery can be anywhere around 4-8 months, though, those are estimates and by no means firm deadlines.

Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Orion - Hellcat
Just a couple of updates on the Orion Hellcat.
Overall, the project was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a second run of Calamity dive watches.
But in the meantime, Orion has added a custom bracelet option for all the Hellcat watches.
In addition, a limited edition green variant has been announced.
Only 50 pieces will be made with this dial.
The Hellcat: Emerald will be fitted in a brushed & polished case and bracelet.
Please note the rendering is a placeholder image and the final product may vary.
