In my opinion, this collection is one of the most stunning classic watches that Orient has to offer. It has a very clean and simple design but looks sophisticated. What I love most about this watch is the 3-tone design on the surface of the dial (face). The textures of the inner dial, as well as the outer dial, complement well with the texture of the sub-dials.
The dial has many attributes that make this watch into a successful timepiece. Features such as the date indicator (located at the 6 o’clock position,) the day sub-dial (located near the 2 o’clock position,) and the 24-hour sub-dial makes you value such a work of art.
If you want to adjust the date, you must first loosen the crown (time-setting knob) located at the 4 o’clock position. You will notice that there are 2 levels to the crown. The first level adjusts the date indicator, while the second level adjusts the time and the date of week. The hour and minute hands are both luminescent so you may view the time in the dark. When adjusting the time, you will see that the 24-hour sub-dial corresponds with the movement of the hour hand.
The crown comes with the engraved Orient logo and shoulders for protection. This automatic watch runs on the power stored within the spring of the watch. As the owner wears the watch, the spring naturally stores power. This watch is also water-resistant for up to 50 meters.
Bands and clasps are important aspects to a watch as they can provide a nice feel and should compliment the rest of the watch’s vibrant design. For this watch, the band is engineered to focus on comfort. The metal band comes with both matte and finished links. This provides a two-toned shine to the rest of the watch.
Next to the dial, you will see that the first two links are tapered followed by untapered links. The deployment clasp for this collection adds security so that the watch does not come off unintentionally. The three dial-color variations to this watch come in: black, navy blue, or white.
