| | Description | About Orient: Orient Watch was formally established in July 13th, 1950 in Tokyo. However, the history of Orient Watch really dates back to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida, the founder of Orient, opened a wholesale watch store in Ueno, Japan. 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 |  |

Beautiful and functional watch May 29, 2010
By harrisbk I had looked into getting a self-winding watch for a while, and I was very impressed with this one. It is very attractive; it is also quite lightweight and compact. It has a day/date indicator: the day can be set to English and Spanish abbreviations. When I read that it had a Spanish option, I thought that it was THE option. I'm not fluent in Spanish, but I learned enough in high school to know the days of the week. It just makes the watch that much more unique. Note: the face is not as bright white as in the image Amazon provides. It is more a pearl color. This was a pleasant surprise for me, but those specifically interested in the color should be aware.
So far so good Sep 23, 2011
By igor The self winding watch arrived on time and as advertised. Price was right; actually, better than right. Easy to set. Worn daily. Runs fine. Looks good; better than pictured in ad. I expect it to last many years. Ask me again in a couple of years.

Great old time value and a very nice looking watch too!I am very well pleased,Thank you sweety for a very well thought out gift !Hard to find a company like this who stood firm in delivering quality watches when the fad was to cheaper watches with mass produced junk(in my opinion).
