Orient Men's Japanese Automatic/Hand-Winding Stainless Steel 200 Meter Diving Watch

Upfront: this is an incredibly gorgeous watch. There's no two ways about it. I find myself constantly looking at it when I wear it, admiring the gorgeous blue sunburst dial and the pepsi bezel. The brushed finish on the stainless steel case is great and done to a high standard, and the bracelet's endlinks have been well matched with the case finish, even if they are hollow endlinks. At this price point, hollow endlinks are a fair tradeoff, and one that I think most consumers are happy to accept. The rest of the bracelet are solid links, which is another plus in my books.It wears surprisingly small too despite a 42mm case diameter, it still sits reasonably on my 5.9 inch wrist. With dive style watches I find it fitting that they are slightly chunky on the wrist and yet this one does not feel excessive even on my female wrist.Whats more, it is also incredibly good value for money too. To find an automatic, mechanical watch for £120 is simply fantastic value for money, especially when in return you get a reputable brand like Orient, which is a Seiko sub-brand, and an Orient in-house movement. To that end, I am very happy with this purchase, and I suspect my next automatic watch will be another Orient.

I have had this watch for just under a year now and thought it was about time to write a review! What can I say, this watch is excellent. It has been through some scrapes regretfully but it hasn't let me down yet and I'm confident that it will continue to perform for years to come. The build quality is superb and the watch feels and looks like a much more expensive piece on the wrist. Although the watch runs a little fast (only requiring manual adjustment every few days) the Japanese hand movement hasn't skipped a beat since day one and it seems to have had no problems running pretty much continuously for the best part of 10 months. My favourite feature has to be the lume on the hour markers. Charge this baby up before bed with a full day of exposure and it will keep the face illuminated for hours - very handy for a quick time check in the middle of the night! The uni-directional bezel feels solid, the face is a beautiful deep marine blue which compliments the natural tone of your skin perfectly and it almost appears black under certain conditions, only to reveal its true nature when put back into the light. Stunning appearance. The mechanical hacking works well, allowing you to change the date and time with just a few clicks and turns and the crown always screws back down without fuss. I could go on and list every single feature of this watch but I fear I may exceed the wordcount Amazon allows for product reviews. If you're in doubt, go for it. You will not be disappointed. A great submariner homage but a lovely design in its own right too. Orient have done a cracking job with this and I'm considering purchasing another just to keep pristine for the weekend! After my Invicta Pro Diver, this is worlds apart and definitely my new daily wearer!

Beautiful. Deffo a poor mans omega. 21 jewel, automatic, 200mt dive. Keeps excellent time. Night illumination is fab too. Lovely product !

Only owned for one week, so bear that in mind. Very nice watch, punches above its weight in terms of price/value. The luminosity is impressive and lasts a good amount of time. After setting to GMT a week ago, the watch has gained approximately 15 seconds, which is very good, within COSC parameters as I understand it, for a £150 diver I feel this is impressive. The screw crown feels a little flimsy, but with care and the fact you needn't use it often (because of inherent accuracy) this isn't a big concern. Watch looks tasteful, well finished case, rotating bezel works well and solidly clicks. Small limitation on micro-adjustments on strap, if I remove three links it is too tight, if I have two links removed and set the micro-adjustment to maximum, then it is a little too loose. It's water resistance hasn't been tested, but I believe these watches are not ISO certified, so this MAY be an issue for those requiring dependability in that regard. Time will tell in my case (excuse the pun). The strap has pinched a couple of hairs here and there, but not annoying so. Overall, no complaints, good value for money. I will update review if any negative issues develop. Hope this helped.

Was looking for a divers style watch on a budget and looked at all the Seiko options and whilst they looked ok none seemed to look as nice as this and for the money there was nothing close to this.I'm guessing the Seiko would be better quality but there seems little wrong with this other than a couple of small issues.Firstly the crown is difficult to use and it's a bit gritty and when setting the time the hands don't move straight away,there's a small delay after turning the crown before the hands move.Secondly the strap feels a bit cheap but it actually looks ok and could be changed.Based on the price of this it couldn't be perfect but is fairly close for the price paid.It's a good size but seems to wear slightly small due to the bezel,which is also a bit tricky to turn.These are very small issues and certainly not enough for me to return.Hand winding and hacking, automatic and mineral glass(not sapphire) and great to look atTicks all the box's for a budget divers style watch.

Had this watch long enough to appraise properly. As other reviewers mention, initially the bezel is hard to turn and the crown is a little tricky in its operation when setting day date and hacking the second hand.As regards to accuracy,at this price point is is extremely good , gaining 2s per day on the wrist.Dial, hand alignment etc is most acceptable as is the general finish to. To be picky I'd say its a bit over polished. The bracelet has micro adjustment (I had to remove 3 links to bring into range) Lume is not as long lasting my more expensive seiko but it's okTo sum up, I'm happy with my purchase. Great accuracy all for 128 quid!L
