ORIENT Hidden GEM! Orient Mini Triton Review ( RA-AC0K01B )

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, I review a model known by many unofficial names, such as the Orient mini Triton, mini Neptune, baby Neptune, baby triton, or the Triton Lite. I’ll refer to it as the Mini Triton. The reference number is RA-AC0K01B10B. It’s by no means a new release but by the time of recording this is still readily available, so I think it’s still a good time to review this under-featured hidden gem of a watch.
In this video you will get my normal “review package”, which consists firstly of a detailed review, then a side-by-side size comparison with other watch models lastly, a strap alternatives section where I show you how the watch goes with different straps. Let’s start with the review itself.

    I've been looking at the green face. This is a practical, everyday watch that punches way above it's weight class. That gray perlon strap looks great on it too. Great review, I just subscribed.

    I came across this model back in January this year. Jody at Just one more watch mentioned about the sizing but I thought I'd give it a go. I'm glad i did as on my 7.25 inch wrist it fits totally fine and wears very comfortable. It's overshadowed by the Kamasu but in my opinion it's a superior watch and like you say a hidden gem in the Orient range. I went for the pepsi version which looks great and although I don't wear it a great deal I won't be letting it go especially as the price in the UK has hiked up by about 20% since i bought mine.

    Thought I was going to return it due to size but looks and feels great on a 7.5 wrist. If they made it smaller lug to lug it will be the SKX replacement. Not ISO but I'll take the sapphire crystal instead. It's $209 Black Friday sale from Jomashop and the watch is beautiful. Don't like the bezel of the Kamasu and Ray but totally adore the Kano if it had a sapphire crystal. Amazing video and thank you for sharing.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences! I kind of feel the same way about the Kamasu and Ray bezels. I didn't at first, but once you've seen it on so many models for so many years, it kind of grows old. I think this is one of the best looking Orients, and I would love for it to be just a little bit smaller. Cheers!

    Hello, that Orient New Triton is not ISO marked is pure marketing, does a company want to expand extra money in the ISO marking or not, Well, that is their decision BUT, that Orient not investing extra for this marking does not mean that their Diver Watches are worse for Professional Diving. My good advice to you is to invest in this Orient Triton, you can Thank me afterwards, I have both Seiko Sumo and Seiko Marinmaster and 3 pieces of Orient New Triton and I really regret that I threw away my hard earned money on the Seiko models because there is no difference compared to Orient, Don't make the same mistake like I did.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences! There's a lot of truth to that. After a certain point, let's say 500 dollars or so, the differences in watches become very small. It's mainly just a matter of higher quality finishing and better quality control, but the watches work just as well and with the same "specs" on paper.

    Do you prefer the Sumo over this? How would you compare the two?

  • @NordicWatchChannel

    @NordicWatchChannel

    Ай бұрын

    Personally, no. I think the Sumo might be a step up in quality, but I personally prefer the looks and dimensions of this Orient. The Sumo is really quite a hefty case, and I have always felt that the bracelet of the Sumo doesn't quite fit the case. Nothing objectively wrong with the Sumo either, it's just my preference. I'd still say it is superior in quality compared to this Orient.

    Not sure if Google translate got this one right... The bezel is used by setting the pointer above the minute-hand, after which the minute-hand shows (on the bezel insert) how many minutes have elapsed since you started the timing.

    @@NordicWatchChannel Kiitos vastauksesta. Päädyin lopulta pitkän harkinnan jälkeen Seiko SRPD51K1. Ei ollut helppo päätös pallottelin 2 viikkoa näiden kahden välillä ja Seiko sattui tulemaan alennukseen timanttisille pääsiäsenä. Kello saapui tänään minulle ja en kadu päätöstäni. Tämä on kaunis kello. En usko silti että orient olisi pettänyt. Ekassa automaattikellossa on olennaista se kokemus ja tämä ainakin oli hyvä sellainen.

    Orient on Japanilainen brändi! Valmistuksesta en ole aivan varma. Orient kuuluu samaan megakorporaatioon kun Seiko. Yleensä halvimmat Seiko mallit on valmistettu Malesiassa. En tiedä voiko siitä sitten päätellä olisiko Malesia todennäköinen valmistuspaikka..

    Good review video though nobody is perfect right?. But, the only thing that I get annoyed and it doesn't only apply to your reviews but this is an inexplicable global phenomenon: Why in the name of peace compare an Orient New Triton with a Seiko SKX or even worse with a Seiko 5 Sea Urchin?. Orient New Triton is a high-quality watch that can easily be compared to, for example, Seiko Sumo? there is the price that is decisive, so Orient wins over Seiko's model. Good luck in the Continuation, there will always be people who think they can do better, but do none of this.

    Hi, thanks for your comment and the kind words! I usually do some quick comparisons size-wise, and if the watches are in the same genre, then maybe some quick other comparisons too. The main reason I personally do that, is just to show the viewer a comparison which they are familiar with, so for that the Seiko SKX is great because it's so universally known. But I do get your point, they kind of should not be compared.

    Had 3 of them sold em all. The model was manufactured with a big flaw, the insert sits above the crystal. Any knocks on the watch face and the insert marks up way too easily.

  • @NordicWatchChannel

    Personally I prefer that. I’ve seen watches where the crystal is above the insert, so a good knock will shatter the crystal. At least this way the crystal is protected.
