Volans — The Meridian Chronograph Slate
The Meridian Chronograph Slate is the most understated and masculine expression of the Meridian collection. A rose gold case frames a deep slate gray dial where rose gold indices and the globe complication emerge with quiet precision, paired with a rich wine-red (burgundy) leather strap. An authority that needs no announcement.
Slate Gray. Rose Gold. Zero Distractions.
- ◆Deep slate gray dial — a dark, serious dial color that absorbs light and projects authority. Slate gray balances the warmth of the rose gold case, creating a harmony between dark and warm tones that makes the Meridian Chronograph Slate the most sophisticated combination in the collection.
- ◆Rose gold PVD case — the warmth of rose gold against the calm darkness of the slate dial creates a visual contrast that is refined without being overt. A combination chosen by men who understand timepieces.
- ◆Rose gold globe complication at 12 o'clock — the subdial featuring the world map in rose gold catches the light against the dark slate background. Visible, meaningful, and unique within the collection.
- ◆Chronograph complication — three subdials tracking elapsed hours, minutes, and seconds. A fully functional stopwatch within the most restrained dial of the Meridian family.
- ◆Crocodile-embossed wine-red leather strap — a rich, deep burgundy tone completing the three-color palette: slate, rose gold, and wine. A combination worthy of the finest dress watches at any price point.
- ◆Quartz movement — absolute precision and zero maintenance. Chronograph functions operate with the exact accuracy that quartz delivers in every situation.
- ◆Hardened mineral crystal — highly resistant to scratches and impacts, preserving the sharpness 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 Slate independently measures elapsed hours, minutes, and seconds without interrupting the main timekeeping function.
Is it automatic or quartz?
The Meridian Chronograph Slate 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 slate gray dial. The striking contrast between the rose gold globe and the dark background makes this the most visible and distinguished expression of the globe complication in the entire Meridian collection.
Is the rose gold finish solid gold?
The rose gold finish is applied via PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, a high-end industrial process that durably bonds the rose gold tone to the stainless steel case. While not solid rose gold, it is significantly more resistant to wear and fading than standard plating, maintaining its pristine appearance over years of daily wear.
Is the leather strap genuine leather?
Yes. The strap is genuine leather with a crocodile-embossed texture in a rich wine-red (burgundy) tone. 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 look and flexibility.
What is the water resistance level?
The Meridian Chronograph Slate 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 Slate?
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 and rich color. 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.
