I grabbed this Orion Digital 2000, despite it being a little beaten up, because the design is just too cool. The offset, single oval window gives the face a totally different balance compared to centered rectangular lenses, leaving that horizontal-brushed section free for the offset script. Love the hooded, sweeping curve of the case profile too. Orion SA put out some really interesting shapes back then, and this "2000" series execution is a great example.
