Designed for men who value precision and enduring style, this watch reflects Orient’s long-standing commitment to craftsmanship and reliability. Built in Japan, it features an in-house automatic movement that harnesses the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist to maintain accurate timekeeping. For added convenience, the hand-winding capability allows you to manually power the watch when it hasn’t been worn for a few days, ensuring it’s always ready to wear.

Protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and housed in a durable stainless steel case, this watch is built to maintain its appearance and function over years of daily use.
Key Features
- Japanese Automatic Movement with Hand-Winding Capability: The heart of this watch is Orient’s proprietary automatic caliber, which self-winds through the natural movement of your wrist. This eliminates the need for battery replacements and supports sustainable, long-term use. The inclusion of manual winding means you can easily restart the watch after it has stopped, providing flexibility for those who rotate between multiple timepieces.
- Sapphire Crystal Lens: The dial is shielded by genuine sapphire crystal, renowned for its exceptional hardness and clarity. Ranking just below diamond on the Mohs scale, sapphire resists scratches from everyday contact with keys, desks, or other surfaces. This ensures the watch face remains pristine, maintaining legibility and visual appeal even with regular wear.
- Timeless Dress Watch Design: With a clean, uncluttered dial and a slim, balanced profile, this model embodies the essence of a traditional dress watch. Its minimalist aesthetic features subtle detailing that enhances readability while preserving an understated elegance. The design pairs seamlessly with suits, blazers, or formal attire, making it ideal for business meetings, weddings, or evening events.
- Durable Stainless Steel Construction: The case and bracelet are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, offering resistance to corrosion, wear, and daily exposure to moisture. The polished finish resists tarnishing and maintains its luster over time. The bracelet is designed for comfort and security, with a secure clasp that ensures a snug fit on most wrist sizes.
- Practical Water Resistance: While not intended for swimming or diving, the watch offers sufficient water resistance to handle everyday exposures such as handwashing, light rain, or accidental splashes. This level of protection adds to its practicality as an everyday dress watch.
