Orient Automatic Multi-Year Calendar World Time EU0B003F Mens Watch: What is a Wrist Watch without the looks?

Orient Automatic Multi-Year Calendar World Time EU0B003F Mens Watch

The yellow black and steel combination of the Orient Automatic Multi-Year Calendar World Time EU0B003F Mens Watch gives it a mysterious and attractive look. A cool feature on the watch dial makes it a professional and adventurously balanced watch. The offshore, different time zones make it even more interesting for the watch collectors. To make sure that everything runs right at the calendar at 6 o clock, first, adjust the one at 12 o clock such that the current month is in line with the year displayed on the curved disc below it. According to Orient, the day/date function at 6 o clock will be accurate till 2031 (which is also the last year available on the disc at 12 o clock), which is quite remarkable. There is also a leap year indicator.

Moving down south, in Orient Automatic Multi-Year Calendar World Time EU0B003F Mens Watch, you get a very display which not only tells you which day of the week is falling on which date but also what the rest of the days/dates are for the rest of the month.

Ever encountered a situation where someone asks what date next Thursday is and everyone pulls out their phones to check? With this watch, all you have to do is glance for 2 seconds and you can proudly announce the answer. Legibility wise, it is reasonable, what with the amount of information it has to present in such minute text.

The ability to mentally calculate dates will make the reading a lot easier.

In the Orient Automatic Multi-Year Calendar World Time EU0B003F Mens Watch, the date window is clearly displayed at 3 o clock and the Orient logo is prominent at 9 o clock. The usage of square, rectangular and sword hour markers adds diversity and makes the dial stand out even from a distance. The Orient Automatic Multi-Year Calendar World Time EU0B003F Mens Watch is a truly unique timepiece.

The Orient Automatic Multi-Year Calendar World Time EU0B003F Mens Watch, is the first watch I've seen that comes with such a calendar function and probably the only one?

Bottom line: A rare look with the black background makes it look daring and stylish and as if, that you are wearing the world up against your sleeves like a wrist watch! A watch that you can be proud to show off with all kinds of worldly complexities tied to the wrist. Orient Watches did the job again…. to keep you awestruck.

Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch: A watch that makes sense

Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch

The fun of the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch taking you by surprise clicks more often than not. Its details are better than expected, its size and weight works for skinny-s and beefy-s alike. Perhaps it’s that subtle, suitability charm making the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch a great watch with value. Its decent make is inherently appealing even to them not particularly huge on rectangular watches.

The Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch is a deviation from the skeleton and open-heart dials a large number of watches come with. Finely designed, a handsome appearance – this dress watch hints at Art Deco of the early decades of the 20th century. It just calls out with an immediately clear appeal. It doesn’t surely make you float in Space, but honestly, it is impressive with its design and has an amazingly elegant enticement to it.

The Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch has a commanding presence! It’s built strong and has been geometrically designed; moderately opulent and to a bit… rakehell! There’s enough texture for the middle, other decorative details subtly add to its visual richness. The layout just doesn’t give you a scope to call it cheesy or crap.

The overall emphasis of the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch remains upon showcasing its mechanical nature. There are not too many entry level mechanical watches that can fit in groove to groove as a business man’s watch; this one does that without sacrificing taste.

In terms of value, the entry level Orient Watches are a winner! The in-house, Japanese Orient cal. 46A40 automatic movement claims and fulfills essentials and a few more other things only a handful of other brands (mostly expensive) can deliver properly.

Its rectangular case makes it an interesting breed. It’s surely a dressier design, allowing the watch to get bigger without looking too-big and staying a sensible size. The small numbers of under-40mm men’s watches are short of sizes that are larger than a classic dress watch but of appropriate proportions for businesses and leisure. The added size increases the masculinity of the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch, emphasizing upon the prominent lines and sharp angles, amplified by the taller center. However, its gentle slope makes the height appear less noticeable and rather turns it into one of the stunning, underlying wonders of the Art Deco flavor!

Bottom line:

To answer questions about how the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FFDAG006W0 FDAG006W Men’s Watch is different from the rest of the Orient collections (not considering shape and the curved mineral glass; it’s obvious) – It’s in just about every important horological aspect! It is imaginable, but working a bit upon it will reveal - It’s just about the same things common about high-end luxury timepieces everywhere.

Orient Automatic Power Reserve Fdag002B Men’S Watch : A Watch That Suffices For All

Orient Automatic Power Reserve FDAG002B Men’s Watch
Those who are bitten by the affordable yet high-end, Japanese watch collecting bug will absolutely go head over heels with the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FDAG002B Men’s Watch. Vastly different from the usual norms that shape a formal watch, this model catches the eye because of its numerous sports-inspired elements that are hard to find in any other watch within the price range.

While Orient is famous for their unique and quirky products, the brand tends to surprise us with enchanting designs from time to time. The Orient Automatic Power Reserve FDAG002B Men’s Watch is one such simple and elegant model that comes with a true vintage undertone, giving a hard competition to models even above the price range.

The Orient Automatic Power Reserve FDAG002B Men’s Watch lets you immediately realize that your money is well-spent. As far as the design goes, it gives out more than just a basic vibe; it’s more of a dark, royal theme the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FDAG002B Men’s Watch bases upon. The Orient signature power-reserve indicator comes as an added, useful feature while the 41mm (excluding crown) case size is just right for most of the wrists. Its dressy, thin case profile makes it the perfect tool for both the workdays and weekends.

It is going to be delusional to claim the workmanship and quality of the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FDAG002B Men’s Watch compare to Swiss megabrands; at the most, you’ll feel the quality is same as that of entry-level, mechanical Swiss watches. The tonneau-shaped case and the bracelet have a prominent brushed finish on the black PVD-coating, the fine micro-grooves visible due to their careful etching. The bracelet is not the tapered kind but straight, which gives the watch a more solid look. The Orient logo on the clasp is cleanly pressed and detailed as a fine work of art is supposed to be.

The black dial with gold-toned and lume-tipped hands and hour markers provide a sharp contrast, resulting not just in an outstanding visibility but also adds a prestigious demeanor to its appearance. The power reserve indicator hand is highly visible when you want to see it; else, the dark red hue conceals it well against the black background of the dial. The beveled, polished and shining bezel stands out from the brushed case underneath, keeping monotony from setting in. Under the dial runs an ORIENT caliber 46N40 self-winding movement with 21 jewels and beating at 21,600/vph. Apart from indicating the power left in the mainspring, it also shows the date.

Quick conclusion:

The pictures don’t do justice for the Orient Automatic Power Reserve Men’s Watch; its premium presence noticeable only in real life. It is this quality that backs up the great looks of the Orient Sporty Automatic Men’s Watch and highly qualifies as an affordable watch that makes for an excellent daily office beater.

Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch: A Great Way To Get Your Feet Wet

Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch

The Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch stands apart from the rest of the Orient lines. Being a Star, the SDE00002B0 is obviously placed at a higher price point. It is a pretty fantastical jump that you are intrigued to figure out why.

Orient’s specialty is in creating high quality timepieces at an affordable price, which they have proved time and again and this time, with the Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch. The combination of an A-grade in-house movement with great looks, the Orient Star SDE00002B0 retrograde power reserve watch is a collective of features and designs that range between vintage and modern to go with anything from casual to dressy. In short, the Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch offers something for everyone!

An entry level price point for a considerable high-end luxury watch is not so very common. Many pieces in this line-up exist there just wearing the tag and doing nothing. The few hundred dollars you throw after them often marks the onset of a future collection; many collectors started that way. The Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch gets you ahead several steps ahead and saves you from the wastage.

It’s surprising to see even ‘Swiss-watches-only’ elites too buy Orients alongside their much more expensive Swiss brand makes. Many who never owned an Orient before sprang for the Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch. As an everyday watch with reasonable complications built in, the SDE00002B0 is fit for wearing the Star emblem every bit.

The vital statistics of the Orient Automatic Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch are visible readily against the backdrop of the black dial and the ARC sapphire crystals on both sides.

The in-house 40A50 stores 40 hours of power reserve with all its functions running. The three hand timekeeping mechanism, a 7-day retrograde register, calendar register and a power reserve indicator. These complications perfectly justify the increase in cost.

Further story reveals its surpassing of expectations and that’s for a number of additional reasons; the Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002B0 DE00002B0 Men’s Watch has a chunky, solid, comforting feel that ensures its high degree, both in materials and mechanics. They produce a case with a distinguished appearance and superb construction with ‘brushed’ and ‘polished’ steel in a harmonious arrangement. The detailing all around is particularly well executed. Even with the bevel’s lip and the lugs.

A well-designed and solid bracelet works very well with that. It doesn’t showcase itself as an epitome of micro-adjustments. But that’s because the main watch is done so well! Expanding pins instead of screwed links cut the costs considerably; if you want, you are always free to change.

Orient Automatic 21 Jewels Multi Year Calendar FEU00002KW Men’s Watch

Orient Automatic 21 Jewels
The multi-year calendar watch is unique due to its ability to put any month’s calendar on its face. It will give you instant solutions to problems related with matching days and dates in different months, years or weeks. The mechanism inside is original, in-built and mechanical. It’s the kind of movement that brings satisfactory impressions.

This makes the Orient Automatic Semi Skeleton Multi Year Calendar FEU00002KW Men’s Watch a tool for busy executives, businessmen, astrologers, astronomers, doctors – just anybody! If fixing meetings and setting works for a different time, the Orient Automatic 21 Jewels Multi Year Calendar FEU00002KW Men’s Watch offers sound practicality together with telling time.

Here’s an opportunity to handle the multi-year calendar watch. It is one of the newer designs but nevertheless stays one of Orient’s signature pieces. This is meant for more formal purposes, so there’s no slide rule.

For operations, there’s a pusher at the 2 o’clock position. Use it to set the multi-year calendar. The crown (at 3 o’clock) is not a screw-down one due to the same reason. In terms of operation, though, it is quite a standard one. Pull it out to the first-click position and set the date; the second-click sets the time.

The seven, vertical columns on the upper dial have the 12 months organized, under which, there is the year disc. It covers 21 years (2003 to 2024). To set the calendar, display the current month by pressing the pusher at 2 o’clock. Press until the current year shows on the disc. Align it to the column under the current month. If it’s leap year, it’ll be marked in red.

The lower dial displays the dates. From 1st to 31st, they are organized under the seven columns, the same way as in a calendar. The day disk stays at the top of the columns; it contains the days from Sunday to Saturday. Both the year and day discs are operated with the pusher.

When the current year is aligned to the column containing the current month, the day disc shall stop at the correct display.

It has been mentioned that it’s perpetual till 2024. After 2024, you will need to set even and odd months and leap years manually. But it’s never going to turn obsolete.

This is a limited edition model. From around of 2,000 units worldwide, a few hundred are left. It’s in memory of the collection’s 50th anniversary!

The multi-year calendar’s distinctive indications of time, day, date and year has received an eminent reputation. It evolved from its 1965 predecessor, now with a better surface finish and curved edges. The case back bears a serial number, engraved meticulously. It’s a proof of the authenticity of limited edition models.

Orient Automatic 21 Jewels World Time Power Reserve FA06001B Mens Watch


Orient signed to sponsor the SUBARU TECNICAL INTERNATIONAL INC. (STI) in 2009 to test the functionality and durability of their watches as they share the pressure of the racetracks with their respective wearer. It was to prove that Japanese Engines are always the best. It’s the same degree of seriousness that goes into the Orient Automatic 21 Jewels World Time Power Reserve FA06001B Mens Watch.

The first thing we can say about the Orient Automatic 21 Jewels World Time Power Reserve FA06001B Mens Watch is it has something very different from other world time watches. This brings the watch its WOW factor and puts it head and shoulders above competitions, even with some of the Swiss!

The highlight of the watch is its dial. Apart from the exuding class and a fine craftsmanship, emphasis goes into its two-layer main dial. There are two chapter rings, with the world time (inner) and names of the cities (outer) written on them. Very clearly printed and therefore, very legible, the external ring rotates as the 4’oclock crown is turned.

Setting the world time needs aligning your current city to the current time on the 24 hour chapter ring. This aligns the rest of the cities (all in different time zones) to their respective current time; however, this is not a digital watch so daylight savings time does not apply.

Inside, there ticks an Orient Star Retrograde 46K40 movement, which doesn’t take manual winding and doesn’t hack. But, with the power reserve meter, manual winding is not a big factor since you always know when to shake it up a bit. But then again, with its fabulous wrist presence, you shall give it a fair amount of wrist time, which takes care of the winding part. Four to 6 hours of wearing winds it up fully.

As for the hacking part, it is important for COSC certified watches or those syncing to atomic signals; besides, this one is much more accurate (+ 7 seconds a day) than normal mechanical watches and doesn’t require resetting every now and then. Among the extra, there’s a display back that allows seeing the movement inside. The movement is a decorated one with 21 jewels; there are Geneva-styled waves and swirls machined on it. Sapphire crystals on both sides (on the dial and on the caseback) with ARC (anti-reflective coating) make it even more attractive!

Overall, the Orient Automatic 21 Jewels World Time Power Reserve FA06001B Mens Watch is a very satisfying watch that never fails to perform its duty. It is of a great value and compares very well with entry-level Swiss made watches, at a price that’s far lower. Agreed even by fans of Swiss timepieces, the Orient Automatic Power Reserve FA06001B Mens Watch conveys a quality that’s simply great and capable of changing the perceptions of a lot of people to whom Swiss is synonymous to watches.
