About this watch

A vintage Orient automatic from the late 1970s to 1980s, in a sculpted tonneau (TV-shaped) stainless steel case with integrated lugs and a brushed finish. The dial is a striking green sunburst that fades darker toward the edges, with the Orient crest and signature, applied faceted double-baton steel markers (double at 12 and 6), green lume dots, lumed baton hands and a framed day-date window at 3 o'clock with the day in Arabic. Powered by an Orient 21-jewel automatic calibre of the 469 family, with a crown at 3 o'clock and a pusher at 2 o'clock. It comes on an integrated steel link bracelet and in its original Orient box.

Brand heritage

Orient traces its roots to 1901 in Tokyo and became Orient Watch Co. in 1950. The company built its reputation on robust in-house automatic movements, and its 21-jewel day-date automatics of the 1970s and 1980s were sold widely across Asia and the Middle East, often with Arabic day wheels. Today these vintage Orients are collected for their bold dials and characterful case designs.
