The general theme of this collection is casual wear. You will notice that every aspect of this watch was made to provide you with comfort such as the bold letters, the genuine leather band, and the magnifying lens. This type of watch is the kind that you can wear when going out for a nice walk or having a dinner with your family; it fits in almost every casual environment.

For this automatic watch, the case comes in a very large rectangular shape. This allows for the bold numerals to stand out to the owner.

An automatic watch has no batteries within the watch. It runs on the spring of the watch and stores power as it is being worn.

Everything about the dial (face of the watch) stands out. For those of you who are far-sighted, you will greatly appreciate the magnifying lens located at the 6 o’clock position. This feature reduces eyestrain when seeing the date and day of the month. To adjust the date and the day, you must rotate the crown (time-setting knob) located at the 3 o’clock position. You will notice that there are two different levels to the crown. The 1st level corresponds to the date while the 2nd level corresponds to the time hands and the day of the week.

Notice how the crown comes with shoulders for added protection. If you view the side of the watch, you will also see the crystal dome of the case and the Orient logo engraved on the crown. Another feature that eliminates inconveniences is the luminescent hands and the hour indicators. The luminescent aspect allows you to see the specific time during the night without any trouble. Last but not least, the case for this watch is water-resistant for up to 50 meters.

The bands for this series all come in genuine leather in black, brown, beige, or blue. The variation for the beige leather band watches come in either a black or white dial. The blue leather band comes in a blue dial; the black leather band comes in a black dial; and the brown leather band comes in a brown dial.

About Orient: Orient Watch was formally established in July 13th, 1950 in Tokyo. However, the history of Orient Watch really dates back to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida, the founder of Orient, opened a wholesale watch store in Ueno, Japan. Orient Watch has always focused on mechanical watches, primarily automatic watches with its own in-house automatic movements Orient was once part of the "Big Three" watch companies in Japan along with Citizen and Seiko. In the 70s, when mechanical watch companies faced hardship from the mass introduction of inexpensive quartz watches, Citizen and Seiko took the path of mass producing quartz watches, Orient stuck with what it did best, making mechanical watches. Today, Seiko owns a controlling stake in Orient. Orient, however, continues to make its own mechanical movements. For its quartz models, it uses Seiko's quartz movements. What sets Orient apart from other watch companies is really the fact that Orient has always been focusing on making its mechanical movements better and more reliable. It is unusual today to find a watch company that makes its own movement selling watches at prices offered by Orient. Most of the watch companies that do make in-house movements are big name specialized watch companies such as Patek Philippe whose watches ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. To find a specialized watch company that uses in-house movements selling its watches at prices that are affordable to most people is truly refreshing.
