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.

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.
@simonrodriguez720411 ай бұрын
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

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.

Thank you so much for that! Very glad to read that you love Orient as well! While Orient isn't distributed in the UK at the moment, we do ship there (on a daily basis in fact) and until the end of the year the UK will not have any VAT or duties from Europe, so you're all good! But not to turn it into a sales pitch: enjoy Orient, regardless of where you buy them!

@collectingtengu49054 жыл бұрын
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.
@sonnyxlbright59043 жыл бұрын
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 !

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'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.
@SeriousWatches4 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!
