bought one and yeah the price and quality seem even higher than seiko???

I have 1 orient and 3 orient stars. Now I can say that Orient watches are seriously good quality for the money!

Orient watches are majestically divine.

Lately I've been looking for many value for money Automatic Dive Watches and after many many brands such as Sthührling, Duxot, Spinnaker, etc. and then I came to a conclusion that Orient is the best one with the best value for money. and my heart fell for Orient Kanno RA-AA0913L Inhouse Movement, Cal F6922's good reputation and proved to be as good as Seiko's NH35A, Excellent material and build quality, etc. I just have no regrets for buying the Orient Kanno.

I was torn between Orient and Swiss Military to get for my bf, this kinda persuaded me into getting Orient, they do look very classy

I absolute love Orient, it's my favorite watch brand since I was a child. I have a small collection of 4 watches and 2 of them are Orients, I have a 3 Star 469WA3 P1SX for daily use and a black Men's Envoy to use in more formal events. I'm also planning to buy a Defender and a Flight, beautiful timepieces!

Orient is high on my list of great watch companies. The Kamasu is exceptional. The Aragon Divemaster 42 is also a lot of watch for the money.

Orient: best value on the market.

I love the Royal Orient but has been discontinued due to Grand Seiko competition. Recommend to give reference number to each Orient watch featured in the video and its price that would help those who are serious interested looking for one.

I completely love my Triton. I bought the black face version. I can't stop looking at it. I am sold on Oeient's quality and design. Now you have brought the Star line to my attention. By the way, I enjoyed this video very much.

Never sell that triton. Its such a special orient watch. Special watch in general. I have the blue dial, an i accidently scratched up under neath the bezel going from 7 6 an 5. Im so upset. I had to take the bezel insert off cause someone threw keys at me an seriously damage the bezel insert. I loved the aluminum bezel insert on the triton. An now i dont have one. Plus scratches on that one part of the watch. I was thinking of selling it, but i am not. The triton is very hard to find in the blue dial. An if you do find it, you have pay alot more money for it now. Maybe one day i can find someone to make it un damaged again. The triton is magical , just something so special about it.

I have the trition pepsi colour variant, and I gotta say, the bracelet feels a little too big since it doesn't taper. But on a black nato strap, the watch looks absolutely killer. And the bezel is the most satisfying bezel I've ever turned and listened to. And I have tried Longines, Breitlin and Omegas bezels, watches that are a lot more expensive. Yet, the Orient feels absolutely superior in quality. Very impressive

Fantastic watches. I have the 44mm Mako Xl orange bezel and absolutely love it, suits my almost 7.9" wrist. It's non hacking, not hand winding but that doesn't bother me as I wear it quite a lot. Orient quality is often better than Seiko particularly in finishing and getting the chapter ring properly aligned. Having said that my sporty Seiko 5kx SRPD51K2 has perfect alignment, but I know it's a bit of a lottery on what you get.

I think the Orient Watch company will have a bright future if they ADVERTISE more ! They have EXCELLENT products, yet very few people know of them. I LOVE my two Capital Dress watches (Quartz) because they are reliable, cheap (80 U.S. dollars each.), and great looking. Maybe Orient does not advertise to keep its prices reasonable? I wonder...

Great video! Planning to buy an orient watch soon. Thanks!

Orient F6922 works like a quartz. My Ray II is still on zero with my quart, watch after nearly 4 days. It's mind blowing.

It looks so lovely I like it

What a gorgeous watch, gonna get that. Ler's go!!!!

I just got a Burgundy Kamasu with a ceramic bezel and love it. I wouldn't have bought it without a modded ceramic bezel. I kinda like the Maestro and the bambino but have no reason to rush out and buy them. I find myself only liking them due to the price point and not the designs.

Superb watches.

I have three orients and they're awesome watches plus i didn't have to sell one of my family to afford one.

I have just come across your channel and saw this review on Orient watches. I own four Orient watches of which my very first Orient watch being an Orient Tristar watch which is at the lowest price range for automatic watches similar to a Seiko 5. I have had it nearly five years now and I must admit it is probably the most accurate automatic watch that I own. Two other Orient watches are from the Orient Neo 70's Panda range of Solar powered chronographs which were made for the Japanese domestic market, both great watches which I wear often and my final Orient is a quartz sports watch which is great as a casual watch. I find that Orient watches are hard to find here in the UK so purchased mine online as I am not aware of any dealerships here. Many thanks for your video.

But not to turn it into a sales pitch: enjoy Orient, regardless of where you buy them!

Great video. For me, apart from the sheer value for money that Orient watches offer, my main attraction to them is the way that Orient manages to combine ruggedness with beauty in their watches. Take the Ray for example, it glides comfortably between the world's of dive watches and dress watches. Orient has simply nailed the art of making a beast look pretty. And don't even get me started on the dress watches !

orient star 40 hours power reserve movement and this orient small second with 24 jewels >>> In your opinion, which is better?

They make tri-star watches in the 36-37mm size...but I have an open hear sapphire watch with a skeletonized window showing the step. It's similar to the Orient Eclipse which is 40mm, but a bit smaller. I forgot the model number but it's a great size with a 20mm lug width.

Laughed out loud at the "if you have a boring and need to see the open heart"! It should have been a few nervous titters from me!

I've got a humble little 3 watch budget-"collection", and I recently purchased a Bambino II (cream dial, blue hands) and it's gorgeous, I love it.

I had the triton, orient star diver , orient star classic... An a couple other orient watches. I do not own them anymore. Had to sell them all. Only watch i own now is the orient kamasu limited edition. I miss them greatly. I had a omega constellation that i owned for one day. I returned it. It was used, my point here is i did not see a big differnce between my high end orients an that one particular omega model. Orients make high quality watches that are just as good as swiss.....

What about the Orient multi year calendar watch, any goos?

I believe, that Orient may be a big(ger) winner in the future. While Seiko works more upscale and raising revenue by raising prices, Orient can target the more (true) entry level base. Their large scale of models and the affordable prices may win Seiko's former base. Even without Seiko's course: Orient watches are simply great. Everything is made inhouse (not sure about assembling) and a lot of companies can not offer that.

I do have to agree with you that it is a bit silly that the fan boys give nicknames to watches. 😁

I'm new to mechanical watches after being fed up with the throw away type mentality of tech in general. Being a very tech minded person I wonder what makes one movement beter then another movement. I hear a lot of "this is a beautiful movement" but I have yet to come across someone diving deeper into what the differences are.

@SeriousWatches

3 жыл бұрын

There's a few elements that come to it. The easy one is a movement simply being beautifully constructed and finished. Another is what it is actually able to do (e.g. the complications - a 3 hander versus a moonphase and so on - constructing the latter is a lot more complicated). Or how efficiently it is constructed. Most comtemporary movements are more or less re-inventions of the same wheel, but there are differences. E.g. the Seiko Magic Lever is a fun thing to read about: calibercorner.com/seiko-magic-lever/ Watch movements are bits of engineering that you can still fully understand every detail of (unlike a modern computer for example) and you can have a lot of fun digging into it :-). Of course a €50000 A. Lange watch will have a fine movement that is close to perfect on every level, but that's to be expected at that price point. As a watch enthusiast is probably more fun what certain engineers have developed on a budget and with true ingenuity while there are restraints. As a channel we don't pretend to really cater to that subject, as we're a retailer, but our team do all love watches and we have 2 people on staff who are certified watchmakers and went through a 4 year course. If you genuinely love the engineering, it may be fun to purchase a 6497 movement or something easy to work on and just experimenting with it a little bit!

The 3 Star range is the affordable line of Orient. Sort of like the Seiko 5. They do have the same movements as the regular Orient models, but just a lower level of finishing and less sturdy bracelets and so on. Not a bad buy by any means, but something to consider :-)

You can compare Orient Star with "Premium Swiss made" watches like Tissot , Certina or Mido .

Orient Star is even better

8:07 i am thinking on getting this one , i am just waiting for my refund on the "nivada grenchen" antarctic spider , i thought it was from switzerland but after giving the order and paying over 1000 Dollars i got a message from People in Hong Kong , i am not ok with a Policy of stealing a Name without having anything to do with Switzerland or the history of the brand , even if the watches are good quality , i don't care . This Orient Star reminds me on the IWC Portofino which i really like but i can't pay 5000 Dollars for a watch , this is insane .
