'Amazing quality and value' Review by Amir

Rating

I gave this watch to my brother as a gift, and it was the perfect choice. He was just starting to get into watches, and I figured it made sense to give him one with history--even though Orient just came to the US (finally!), they have a 50-year tradition of making automatic watches.

Originally, I considered giving him the Orient Men's Blue and Red Bezel Automatic Dive Watch #CEM65006D since it is a classic design and I thought he would like the punch of color, but when I saw this orange semi-skeleton, I knew I had to upgrade him. Not only is the back clear so you can see the actual innerworkings of the movement, it also has Orient's trademark Power Reserve Indicator--because the watch doesn't need batteries and is powered my the movement of your arm, this lets you know how much power is left when you take it off. I couldn't believe the value.

(I did consider the Orient Men's Power Reserve Semi-Skeleton Blue Automatic Watch #CFM00005D but he's more of a metal-band guy.)

I was also especially glad to see that this watch was being offered directly by Amazon. With Orient still being so new to the States, there are limited vendors who are actually licensed to sell the product. Amazon.com is one, but according to Orient USA's website, even some of the other retailers on Amazon are not. I definitely wanted to make sure that I was getting the warranty!

My brother is not gentle with his things, so I am happy to see that this watch still ticking away. Even though the brand is loved by watch aficionados, it is still strong enough for an active 21-year-old guy. Great buy!

'very nice watch!' Review by Stephen Garcia

i had never heard of the brand Orient before, so i was a little skeptical about the purchase. i did some research and couldn't find any bad reviews on any Orient product, so i decided to pull the trigger.

im glad i did. the watch is BEAUTIFUL! i love the look and feel of the bracelet, very quiet and feels of high quality. it has a nice big face and the power indicator is GREAT! this is my first Orient automatic watch and this probably won't be my last.

i own 5 other watches and i've gotten more compliments on this one in the three weeks i've owned it than the other 5 watches combined.

if you're on the fence about ordering this watch, don't be. it is a great buy and amazon has it at a great price.
