  • Gravity Equal ForceArmin Strom Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire front view — Armin Strom’s Gravity Equal Force is the brand’s System 78 constant-force automatic platform, built around the patented equal-force barrel and Geneva stop-work concept to deliver more consistent torque while preserving the manufacture’s open, mechanics-first architecture.
