Lorier released the Zephyr as a dress watch that utilizes a tonneau case profile modeled after 1930s watch proportions. The 31mm stainless steel case houses a Miyota 9029 automatic movement because the caliber's dimensions accommodate the 8mm case thickness.
The white dial features a central guilloche pattern alongside printed black sector markers for time reading. Blue dauphine hands indicate the hours and minutes without a sweeping seconds hand to maintain a fixed visual layout.
Founded in 2017 by Lorenzo and Lauren Ortega, Lorier is a New York City-based independent watchmaker specializing in mid-20th-century-inspired timepieces. The brand's design and operational philosophy prioritizes everyday wearability.
Lorier's catalog is defined by classic case proportions and vintage elements. The company's core collection consists of four primary mechanical models: the Neptune dive watch, the Falcon field watch, the Astra standard model, and the Hyperion GMT. Operating on a direct-to-consumer microbrand model, these core references are consistently at an affordable price point.
