Orbus AS is an Erebonian luxury manufacturer of mechanical watches. It was founded in 1901 in Leeves.
Orbus was registered with its present name in 1904 and was the lead manufacturer of watches prior to the United Kingdom's relinquishing control of Western Erebonia. Orbus was initially known for its military-grade watches which was used to arm most Lucis troops prior to the First Europan War. The war caused the company to shift to making wall and alarm clocks to keep afloat. The company also contributed much to the war effort and was subsequently given a Royal Warrant by Regis Lucis Caelum CVII. Following the return of Western Erebonia to Heimdallr, the warrant still remained with Orbus and opened a satellite office in Insomnia. The company later shifted its focus into developing divers watches, producing the Orbus Reef, the first industrial diving watch. This tradition continued with Orbus newest model, the Orbus Aquis introduced in 2011 made for the Erebonian Special Air Service. It was commercialised with military grade models being more expensive than those marketed.
Of the 4 Erebonian watch companies, Orbus is Erebonia's largest watch manufacturer. It also remains as the only independent watch company in the country. The company has been responsible for several watch innovations, with its recent being the Calibre 400 Movement that gave a 5-day power reserve and a far improved anti-magnetic movement. It also has more than 50 patents in its name. The company also works closely with many Military Foundations across the Lucis Commonwealth.
