This classic automatic watch has a mixture of Roman number and bar hour markers, twin date windows (one for the number, one for the day) and handsome luminescent hands. The textured dial has a tonal checkerboard pattern. With a 37mm medium-size face (excluding the crown), this watch matches perfectly to either formal or casual looks. We love its original design and elegant finish. Includes a cognac leather strap with an alligator embossing effect.
Formally established in Tokyo in the early 50's, Orient has produced exceptional watches for the better part of sixty years. Widely distributed throughout the world, they only entered the US market a few years ago. Using a network of production facilities in Japan, Singapore, and Brazil, Orient offers exceptional quality timepieces at a very reasonable price. Orient is famous for their inexpensive mechanical watches. These "automatic" watches function without batteries, and charge with just the normal motion of your wrist. They use proprietary, in-house movements to craft these sturdy and classic pieces.
Jun Watanabe, Orient's President, describes the benefits of automatic watches quite nicely:
"I believe that the beauty of mechanical watches will be recognized more and more in the future. If I were to mention some of the positive qualities, the first would be that they are extremely clean products because they do not use batteries. They will return to the earth in the end since they are made entirely of metal components. mechanical watches keep moving along with the movement of the body powered by human strength. It won't move unless you move around. If you don't wear it on your arm for a while, it eventually stops. When the gears are constantly moving, they gradually start to wear. It's better for mechanical products not to move when not in use. That allows them to last longer."
