| | 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. | |

 buy this watch Dec 02, 2009
By sirweldsalot
if anyone can save the mechanical watch world, it will be the folks from orient. i cant find a flaw. ok i can find one...the little blue picture on the strap looks kinda cheesy. i like the extra pusher for the day and both the pusher and the crown screw down so, neither one should leak and the pusher wont activate if you bump it. its a neat little add on. the crystal is mineral (plain old glass) and it will scratch as such. no biggie. accuracy is within 5 seconds per day. thats very good. you can tell that orient is serious about building good movements! i have bought two orients from amazon and i cant find a flaw in either one and ive been collecting watches for quite a while. i know whats out there. if your on the fence jump over to this side.
i came back to edit this page to take a star away. i had to get a case seal from them and they blew me off for months. still love the watch but they need to tighten up on customer service.

Nice Automatic (self-winding) Watch Aug 10, 2009
By dnhoshor
The Orient CEM65003D is another variation in the large, and popular, automatic day/date diver watch collection by Orient. I bought this model with the rubber strap, because I like to be able to easily adjust the fit of the watch on my wrist. The Orient band is okay, but I found it a little stiff, and replaced it with a 22mm woven nylon band. The original band was pretty long, and would easily fit over a wet suit - if I was a deep sea diver. (I'm a desk-bound computer weenie.)
I've been pleased with the accuracy of the CEM65003D. After a month of wear, I've found that mine's accurate to within about a minute a week. Mine runs slow. I set the time a minute ahead, and when the watch is a minute behind, a little more than two weeks later, I set it ahead again. In this way, I know that my watch is within a minute of the correct time. If you want a really accurate watch, you're probably ahead getting a quartz model, but there's something about a mechanical movement that appeals many watch wearers.
The controls of the CEM65003D are a bit odd. The watch has a screw-down crown, and a screw-down locking ring around the pusher button. The pusher button does nothing but advance the day name of the day/date display. Unlike most day/date watches sold in the United States, the day name abbreviations aren't bilingual. The day name advances two notches for each day, so they could be bilingual, but instead, the second day name is repeated in English with the day number after each - e.g. Mon1, Tue2, etc.
The CEM65003D is sometimes called the "Pepsi" model, because the rotating bezel is blue and red, and reminds users of a Pepse bottle cap. I just like the little flash of color. By the way, the dial is beautiful, with a deep blue dial that appears to be glazed, and nicely finished luminescent hour markers, and easily read hands

Nice automatic watch for the money Sep 16, 2010
By Falconeer
"John B"
This is my first Orient watch, and I'm getting used to some of the idiosyncracies of the timepiece such as Non-hacking second hand, separate button for setting days of the week, no crown winding mechanism. However, it seems to work flawlessly, keeps reasonable time for an automatic, comes in one of the nicest watch boxes this side of Omega, has a very visible and readable face, the numbers and hands luminates quite well in the dark, and the band is very long to accomodate wearing the watch over a wet suit. I'm also just getting used to the looks of the "Pepsi" bezel, but it has a great function in that the initial 15 minutes are much easier to read, since they are in red. Great in low light, underwater applications. Like any other new watch, the bezel turns a bit stiffly at first, but I anticipate it will turn more easily after a little breaking in period.
This is an attractive casual/diving watch for weekend wear at the beach or lake and is a great buy at less than $100.00. My favorite everyday wear watch continues to be my trusty Bulova 98C62 Marine Star quartz.
Amazon one-day shipping was right on as usual.
 Excellent mechanical, great value Feb 22, 2012
By Stephen H. Greene
Solidly built and attractive, this watch loses less than a minute a week in over four months. Orient's mechanical movements are so innovative that Seiko bought the company! Dive bezel is fully functional, with a precise click action.
Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a precise mechanical watch.
So Far, So Awesome Feb 08, 2012

After ordering a Tag Heuer Carrera I became hooked on the idea of automatic watches. I did a quick Google of 'automatic watches under $500' and the Orient 'Black Mako' was listed by the reviewer as "the shockingly well-kept secret". The CEM65003D model is not the Black (or Blue) Mako, but it is essentially the same watch. If you look at the descriptions of the Black Mako and this watch, they are identical. So the key questions would be: what are you going to use the watch for, and how high are your expectations for the performance (scratch resistance of the crystal et al). For $93 as of the time of this posting, I don't think you can go wrong. The site mentioned above lists an Invicta Pro Diver model that is less expensive than this model, so you are not buying the cheapest of the cheap. However, after a few weeks of ownership I can say that this is an excellent value, a classic style (OK, so Orient is known for emulating other much more expensive designs) and terrific utility. The blue face is stunning, the bezel adds additional visual interest and the lume is long lasting. The urethane band is a little different than other watches I own because of the contours near the dial, and it takes a little getting used to, but you can always choose another non-bracelet band to make it your own. The bezel is a little firm to rotate at the outset but I assume that will ease over time. I have worked out while wearing this watch, and the crowns are solid when screwed down, so I have no concerns about swimming or athletics with it. Nicely done, Orient!
