Inspired by our very own galaxy, the Orbit watch is designed by the Hong Kong firm Ziiro and it replaces traditional clock hands with [orbiting planets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-flying-hours). The Orbit watch comes in four color varieties: blue, yellow, black and white. The strap of the watch is made from silicone and the watch latches onto your wrist automatically -- no fastening required. Not only does the watch ooze style, but its simple aesthetic really evokes space-age technology and makes me reminisce of days when all I wanted to do was become a space explorer when I grew up. You can get your own Orbit watch at the [Dezeen Watchstore](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyhand-og) for $166.59. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Galaxy-inspired Chronographs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing watches that incorporate unique themes and aesthetics, like the galaxy, to appeal to consumers looking for unique style and personal expression. - **Orbiting Planets as Clock Hands:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redesigning traditional clock hands by incorporating innovative elements, such as orbiting planets, to create visually appealing and unique timepieces. - **Silicone Strap Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing advanced strap technologies, like automatic wrist latching, that improve comfort and convenience for watch wearers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Watch Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with designers to explore unconventional designs and themes in watch manufacturing, tapping into the growing demand for unique and stylish timepieces. - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating space-inspired designs and materials, like galaxy motifs and silicone straps, in fashion accessories to cater to consumers who seek futuristic and eye-catching accessories. - **Online Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating online platforms that offer a curated collection of niche and unique watches, like the Orbit watch, to cater to the growing consumer demand for distinctive and limited-edition timepieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Black Hole-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-planet-ii-black-star.md) - [Space-Age Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/europa-clipper-exploration-watch.md) - [Space-Inspired Titanium Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceone-tellurium.md) - [Luxury Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-themed-timepiece.md) - [Planet-Resembling Watch Faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-time.md) - [Nostalgic Space Exploration Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dsky-moonwatch.md) - [Astrolabe-Inspired Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-watch6-classic-astro-edition.md) - [Meteorite-Infused Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-constellation-meteorite-collection.md) - [Meteorite Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-chronomaster-sport-meteorite.md)
