Vintage Orient Tri Star Automatic Day-Date Textured Gold Dial 38mm Watch Box

About this watch

Orient's Tri Star range paired dependable automatic movements with expressive 1970s styling. This example has a cross-hatched, textured gold-tone dial with applied gold batons, the Orient crest, three stars and a day-date window at 3 o'clock, with a quick-set pusher at 2 o'clock.

The angular hexagonal stainless steel case measures about 38mm and has a screw-down all-steel back with the Orient medallion. It is fitted on a signed Orient steel mesh bracelet and comes with a vintage Orient box.

Brand heritage

Orient traces its roots to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida opened a watch shop in Tokyo; the Orient Watch Company itself was established in 1950. Orient became known for making its own automatic movements and offering excellent mechanical watches at accessible prices. The three stars on many of its dials mark the famous Tri Star automatic range, a long-running favourite in the Middle East and Asia.
