Volans — The Meridian Chronograph Black
The Meridian Chronograph Black is the darkest twin of the Meridian collection. A full black PVD case surrounds a black dial where rose gold indices, hands, and globe complication emerge with precision and warmth. Chronograph function. Leather strap. Dark precision for the man who moves with purpose.
Black case. Rose gold soul.
- ◆Full black PVD case — deep matte black from the case to the pushers. A complete, uninterrupted statement that makes the rose gold accents the sole point of visual contrast.
- ◆Rose gold indices, hands, and accents — every marker, hand, and complication detail is finished in rose gold against the black dial. The contrast is deliberate, refined, and impossible to ignore from any distance.
- ◆Chronograph complication — three subdials tracking elapsed hours, minutes, and seconds. A fully functional stopwatch integrated into a dress sports design.
- ◆Globe complication at 12 o'clock — the subdial featuring the world map in rose gold against the black dial. Subdued, meaningful, and unique within the Orion collection.
- ◆Crocodile-embossed black leather strap — genuine leather with crocodile texture in deep black. The case and strap merge into a single dark presence, interrupted only by the rose gold detail on the crown.
- ◆Quartz movement — absolute precision, zero maintenance. Chronograph functions operate with the reliability that quartz delivers in every situation.
- ◆Hardened mineral crystal — highly resistant to scratches and impacts, preserving the clarity of the dial through years of wear.
- ◆3 ATM water resistance — protected against light rain and everyday splashes.

◈ Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know.
How does the chronograph function work?
The chronograph is a stopwatch function built directly into the watch. Pushers on the side of the case allow you to start, stop, and reset the elapsed time counters on the subdials. The Meridian Chronograph Black independently measures elapsed hours, minutes, and seconds without interrupting the main timekeeping function.
Is it automatic or quartz?
The Meridian Chronograph Black uses a quartz movement, providing absolute accuracy with zero maintenance beyond a battery replacement every 1 to 3 years, depending on usage.
What is the globe complication on the dial?
The globe subdial at 12 o'clock features a rose gold world map motif set against the black dial. The contrast makes it clearly visible without overpowering the dial: a detail that rewards attention without demanding it.
How durable is the black PVD coating?
The black finish is applied via PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, an industrial process that bonds the color layer directly to the 316L stainless steel case. It is highly resistant to everyday scratches, wear, and fading, ensuring the deep matte black look stays sharp over time.
Is the leather strap genuine leather?
Yes. The strap is genuine leather with a crocodile-embossed texture in deep black. Real leather gains character and softens with wear, molding perfectly to your wrist over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to water and treat it periodically with a leather care product to maintain its appearance.
What is the water resistance level?
The Meridian Chronograph Black is water-resistant to 3 ATM (30 meters). It is protected against light rain and daily splashes. It is not intended for swimming, showering, or submersion. Leather straps should be kept away from water as much as possible to preserve their condition.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes. Every Orion timepiece includes a 12-month movement warranty covering manufacturing defects, along with a 30-day return policy. If any issue arises, we repair, replace, or refund without unnecessary delays.
How should I care for the Meridian Chronograph Black?
Wipe the case with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Keep the leather strap away from water and direct sunlight, occasionally conditioning it to preserve its flexibility. Store the watch in its original box away from direct light and heat when not in use. The quartz battery will need replacement every 1 to 3 years; ensure this is handled by a qualified watchmaker to preserve the case seal.
