The Orient Story

The Orient Story The Orient Story Orient Watch was formally established in July 13th, 1950 in Tokyo. Orient Watch has focused on mechanical watch making, specializing in self-winding watches using only our in-house movements. Orient is considered one of the “Big Three” watch companies in Japan, but what sets them apart from the competition is that they have dedicated themselves in the advancement of mechanical watch making. The Orient Watch Company produces their mechanical movements in-house at their facility in Japan. These movements are dedicated for the use Orient’s own mechanical watches. This list of industry abnormalities with the consideration of being one of the most affordable choices makes Orient an exceptional experience in the world of time keeping, and yet remains as one of the most obtainable. Orient is a brand unlike any other… It is profoundly unique. Orient In-House Movements Orient Watch is known throughout the world as Japan’s mechanical watch. The center of Orient’s philosophy is to be and remain a true watch maker accessible to all.

My first Orient!

I love Japanese watches, but I have to confess I never heard of Orient watches before. I know Seiko, Citizen, and Casio watches very well.

All of the sudden, I heard Seiko bought into 30% of Orient ownership and my search was on. I discovered Orient was founded as early as 1901, and Orient Watch was formally established in July 13th, 1950 in Tokyo. Orient Watch has always focused on mechanical watches, primarily automatic watches with its own in-house automatic movements. Orient was once part of the “Big Three” watch companies in Japan along with Citizen and Seiko.

In the 70s, when mechanical watch companies faced hardship from the mass introduction of inexpensive quartz watches, Citizen and Seiko took the path of mass producing quartz watches, Orient stuck with what it did best, making mechanical watches.

Today, Seiko owns a controlling stake in Orient. Orient, however, continues to make its own mechanical movements. For its quartz models, it uses Seiko’s quartz movements. What sets Orient apart from other watch companies is really the fact that Orient has always been focusing on making its mechanical movements better and more reliable. It is unusual today to find a watch company that makes its own movement selling watches at prices offered by Orient. Most of the watch companies that do make in-house movements are big name specialized watch companies such as Patek Philippe whose watches ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. To find a specialized watch company that uses in-house movements selling its watches at prices that are affordable to most people is truly refreshing.

Orient Watch is not a name that is known to many in the US besides avid watch enthusiasts because Orient doesn’t really market its products in the US. As a matter of fact, it is often difficult to find Orient watches in the US. Most of the time, these watches are imported from elsewhere in the world.

So the first Orient watch to cut my eye was the submariner date-style. It is 100m water resistance and has a 21-jewel automatic movement. For $139, this is an extremely well-built watch, it is not atypical for this watch to offer less than 8 seconds of variation per day. Why people today keep spending $4,000 and $5,000 on submariner style watches just blows my mind.

Nowadays, I’m happy owner of four Orient watches: The 100m Black and Blue Subs, the 200m Sub (I love the quick change botton on this one), and the M-Force Power Reserve, named the Beast among us aficionados and discontinued by the way.

Watch Aficionado

I love this watch!

The Orient 2ER00002D is a great watch bargain. While Orient is not widely known in the United States, the Japanese watchmaker is half-owned by Seiko. This watch looks and feels almost exactly like a Rolex Submariner (at about 1/20th of the price). This is a great-looking well-made watch, and the picture really does not do it justice. So far it’s keeping great time, which can be a problem even with far more expensive self-winding watches. My only quibble has to do with the luminescence (or lack thereof) which seems to last for just a few minutes at a time, but given everything else, that seems a relatively minor complaint. If you’re looking for a high-quality, inexpensive Rolex-style dive watch, travel to the Orient!

Orient Diver’s watch

I am not a watch collector but purchased the watch for daily use. I am in the health care professions and frequent hand washing is required. The watch is beautiful, keeps great time, stands up to wear and tear very well (I have owned it for three months). The price point is fantastic. If I lose the watch in that I have to remove it frequently I will feel saddened but not deflated and would buy another.

I held this watch next to a colleague’s similar Rolex and it was difficult to tell the difference.

I am pleased with this purchase.

Update 3 years later. Still thoroughly enjoy the watch. It looks like new and keeps excellent time. I remain enthusiastic and positive about this purchase.
