Spreading the love of our beloved customers

I have two ORLO watches and am very happy with both. The replaceable straps are a really cool detail, which means that the watch can easily be adapted to everything in the wardrobe

Mega cool design and a super awesome quality that far exceed the price

Thomas Jensen

I can only warmly recommend an ORLO watch, which is beautiful and timeless - and made of really good materials. For example, after several years of daily use, the dial is perfectly fine and without scratches. ORLO's service and communication is also in a category I have not experienced before

Ghita Saaby

I have nothing but praise to say about my experience at ORLO! Blown away by the good service and good and present communication!!!

Lise Olsen

I got my watch as a Christmas gift, but it didn't work. I wrote to ORLO on Instagram late on Christmas Eve, and got a reply the same evening! Such a great service. The watch was replaced after a few days when "ORLO" came to my home - so I could start using my Christmas present! I can definitely recommend both watch and service!

With a water resistance of 3 ATM, the watch is suitable for everyday wear and can withstand splashes and brief immersion.

Lens: The double-domed hardened mineral glass lens enhances the aesthetic appeal of the watch while providing durability and protection. The anti-reflective coating ensures clear visibility, minimizing glare and allowing you to read the time with ease.

Hands: The three-hand configuration with pin-striped hour and minute hands enhances legibility and adds a refined touch to the dial. The pin-striped design further accentuates the retro-inspired charm of the Bowen watch.

Strap: The Bowen watch is complemented by a brown calf leather strap, meticulously crafted with diagonal stitching for added strength and visual appeal. The pin-buckle closure ensures a secure and comfortable fit, allowing you to wear the watch with confidence throughout the day.

History and inspiration

Bowen draws its inspiration from the iconic watches of the 1970s. It was a decade when the environment and equal rights for all occupied a lot of people's consciousness. Funk and disco music became popular with bands such as ABBA and the Bee Gees among the prominent bands, and rock music gained more edge as a counterpart to the softer genres.

The clothing style of the 1970s was influenced by clothing seen in popular music groups. Much of the fashion style of the 1970s was influenced by the hippie movement and glam rock styles, and baggy trousers, floral prints, mini skirts and hot pants made up the signature 1970s look.

Design trends in the 1970s were marked by a backlash against the bright colors and futurism of the 1960s and a rise in popularity of dark, earthy colors with extensive use of brown, green, and orange. The darker colors reflected not only the decade's back-to-nature mindset, but the cramped world economy with its diminished optimism and expectations for the future.

True icons like Steve “King of Cool” McQueen, Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood were heroes in the '70s, and the Bowen collection is a tribute to their legacy and this significant decade. A watch for people who want to express cool style and independence.
