BEWARE OF FRAUD:
Only watches purchased from USA-certified dealers are covered by the Orient Watch's International warranty, as well as by an after-sale service that matches the brand's demanding standards.
Orient Watch Company of Japan has been engineering
and building watches since 1950. Their line of Titanium Military
watches are nothing short of phenomenal in looks and function. And, at
a price that simply defies logic.
This is a very clean design.
Simple, elegant but tough. From the knurled (Checkered) bezel to the
knurled main and minor stems (crowns) the Orient titanium is a handsome
timepiece. The engineers who designed this watch really did a very nice
job of balancing style and "military" no-nonsense looks. This watch
just flat out looks good. Instead of a rough flat surface usually seen on titanium watches, Orient took the extra step of finishing the band and watch case in a very clean low reflection satin finish. The case and band are medium grey in color. But, all this good looks does pose a problem. What dial color
will you pick? All four colors, black, blue, white and gray have their
own unique style and it is difficult to choose.
Even though this watch looks good, it isn't just another pretty face. It can convert
statute miles to nautical miles or metric kilometers and back again. It
can do multiplication and division functions using the bezel slide rule
along with currency conversions. And, here's a neat trick. The exterior
bezel doesn't rotate, but the lower smaller knurled stem rotates an
inner bezel under the crystal for the math and conversion functions. No
rotating exterior bezel to get clogged with sand and dirt.
There
are no 1, 2, or 3 o'clock numbers on this watch. It starts at 13:00
hours and finishes at 24:00 hours. This is a true 24 hour military
timepiece.
Now, here's the kicker. It never needs batteries and you never wind it.
This
is a self-winding automatic that maintains over 40 hours of power
reserve. The weight of this watch is something to
behold.
Typical
stainless steel watches, either quartz or mechanical, weigh somewhere between 5.7 to 8.0
ounces or more. This watch weighs a mere 3.7 oz. That's the advantage of titanium. It's lightweight properties are instantly felt when you remove it from the box.
Very tough, very light, and very durable.
Orient has made removing links for sizing of the
titanium band very easy. On the underside of each link is a
slot. Just insert a small pointy object into the slot and slide
the slot in the direction of the arrow and pull the locking blade out of the link.
Do the same to the slot next to it and the link is off the watch.
Reconnect the watch by reinserting the blade. No fumbling around trying to drive pins out
or unscrewing hopelessly small screws that, without the right
screwdriver, are destined to be ruined.
The titanium band has a double locking clasp for maximum
security. As an added touch of class, the the Orient double lion
crest is located on the locking clasp.
The watch case is approximately a half
to 1 mm less diameter than a normal dive watch like a Luminox or Smith
& Wesson, but the watch face covers over 90% of the diameter due to
the slim design of the bezel. So if you have a little difficulty
picking up the time without reading glasses, this is far easier to
read. And, the case thickness is far less than most automatics, which are
frankly just too fat. This is a relatively slim design, slimmer than
even a Smith & Wesson quartz tritium.
The military model contains a full 21 jewel,
6 beat per
second automatic watch engine. It's the same watch engine that
resides in a number of their limited edition high end watches so you
know you're getting a quality timepiece. Orient has received
worldwide acclaim
for the quality of the their shock-mounted movements and are known as
one of a handful of high quality mechanical movement manufacturers in
the world.

This watch has a manufacturer's suggest retail price of $270.00, which
is a bargain in our
opinion, particularly a mechanical with a separate day/date indicator
and slide rule functions. But, this titanium military watch is
available for a
limited time for only $119.99. $119.99 for a world class titanium by the
legendary Orient Watch Company of Japan and we pay the shipping!
You will receive
Orient's full worldwide 1 year factory warranty. It doesn't matter
where you're located. Just keep your receipt and the warranty booklet
which lists Orient's warranty repair stations located throughout
Europe, Middle East, Russia, Far East and the U.S.. Orient is located
worldwide.
But enough with the
technical stuff. You are going to absolutely love the looks of this
watch, the sweep second hand movement, the superior finish of the case
and really superb stem and bezel checkering. This watch is finished
very nicely. In fact, all of us here consider it to be one of the
nicest looking designs we carry. Comes with warranty booklet, instruction manual, and is very nicely packaged in Orient's premium padded watch case. This watch makes a great gift item.
If you're going to buy an automatic,
buy it from the company that has been designing and building mechanical
and self-winding automatic watches non-stop for over 55 years. Own a watch that is both distinctive in design and
relatively rare in this country. It is sure to become a conversation piece in any crowd. Own a watch that
has been in this country for decades but has purposely limited its
distribution creating an almost cult-like following. If you
doubt our word, you'll find online user groups dedicated to Orient watch
conversations. You aren't going to find that kind of dedication
for 95% of the watch brands out there.
You will not regret your purchase of this wonderful timepiece.
Besides, you won't find an automatic watch manufactured from titanium
with the features of this watch, the quality fit and finish, and a
world class 21 jewel engine from any other manufacturer. It just
doesn't exist. We are not
overstating our position when we declare this watch one of best watch
bargains out there, if not THE best buy in the world. If you have
the opportunity of traveling to Europe in the near future, or have a
friend or relative living there, have them specifically look for the
cheapest Orient automatic watch they can find. That will convince
you that this purchase is one fantastic buy. And, if that isn't
enough, we'll ship it to U.S. and APO/FPO addresses free of shipping
charges. The price of $119.99 is the DELIVERED price to your door
or military mail room. There are no surprise charges, handling
fees or credit card processing fees to jack up the price. You won't get nailed with shipping charges that can be as high as $30.00 from other retailers. We
don't play those games. We do charge a nominal shipping
charge to civilian addresses outside of the U.S. See below.
And, as usual, you have our iron-clad guarantee. If you pull it
out of the box and it doesn't hit you right, put it back in the box and ship it back to us within thirty days and we will refund your
order no questions asked. As long as it has not been worn or
damaged and all the packaging and accessory items including tags,
warranty card and other items received are intact as they were received
by you, there is absolutely no risk on your part.
There are no shipping or handling charges
to U.S. or military APO/FPO addresses worldwide. If you're in the military and have an APO or FPO
address, it doesn't matter your location, even if you're on a Coast
Guard cutter in no man's land. We'll get it to you within 10 to
15 days or sooner to most military
locations. Shipments to
civilian addresses in EU Nations, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and
New Zealand
will incur a $20.00 - $25.00 shipping charge. We cannot ship to
civilian addresses in countries other than what is noted above.
