Teddy, thanks for a great review! Just a remark: they used to have mineral crystals, now classic models equipped with sapphire. But that's definitely should be double checked with the seller as they can ship an older model.
Teddy I could be late...Orient released a small video in Jan 2020 roughly six minutes long...it’s rare for them as a culture and even more rare as a company. 6 mins long but a lot of information!
Great list ! -- Orient 0:48, Multi-Year Calendar 1:23, Monarch 2:10, Helios 3:04, Triton -- Orient Star 4:00, Classic 4:56, Outdoor (JDM) 5:45, Retrograde 6:36, Moon-Phase 7:16, Moon-Phase Skeleton I just wanna mention at 3:30. Modern JIS standard is usually a subset of ISO standard, but I have not checked the difference of diver's watch criteria.
I love my Orient, and I’m wanting a Citizen now. I’d really like the have one in titanium, sapphire, radio controlled, and eco-drive. You can get all that for around $700.
@@appalachiangunman9589 I just got the Eco-Drive Dive Super Titanium with sapphire case and it is just beautiful!!! Hope it will last for a long while.
It's such a shame that Orient don't sell their watches in retailers here in the UK whereas there are plenty of Seiko, Citizen and other major brands available. I personally came across Orient watches online and I own four Orient watches. For the price are really great value for money. I am probably going to purchase a Orient diver watch soon and I am thinking of getting a Kamasu which I really like the look of due to the available different colours. Thanks for posting this video on Orients Teddy, I really enjoy watching your channel.
Orient Star is by far my favourite brand. I have a black dial Retrograde and the Blue hands, white dial Star Classic. Both absolutely fantastic. The detailing and finishing on the Retrograde is amazing
I grew up in Bogotá,Colombia . In the decade of the 70’s Orient was very well recognized brand for his quality and I remembered going with my Father to the Orient store to buy watches for him. Recently I gave to my Husband a 2 ND Generation Bambino version 2 with white dial and blue hands. Good review
Teddy!! Smashing presentation Amigo! We truly are spoiled for choice this days. In a time when well established, beloved brands like Rolex and others seem to be resting in their laurels and not take chances with new designs, it's simply fantastic to see all this variety from a quality manufacturer than more than fill the bill for an everyday carry or even special events. Oh and at a reasonable, realistic price. Love your work Keep Awesome!
Imagine if Rolex sold a ceramic or titanium-cased Submariner. They would run a train on you before they even allowed you the priviledge of putting your name down on the 1,000 year waiting list. Also it would cost $100,000+. Rolex sells the idea of luxury and exclusivity. Sometimes it takes the form of a watch.
@@Mister_Phafanapolis Exactamente amigo! Who has time for the ridiculous practice of not having items in stock and when you do at prices that defied all logic and common sense.
That Orient Star Retrograde was killer! Also love the Monarch, especially the variant with the egg shell dial, harder to find and more expensive than the other two. Great video, and thanks for the Nato straps! Looks great on my SKX, will post to the FB group tomorrow
Two things. I don’t want these videos to turn into complete reviews and want them to be more about mast exposure to new watches you might not know. In addition lug to lug is a measurement most manufactures don’t include on their site.
Jacob Weaver Totally agree, as lug to lug is very important in getting a true sense of how much real estate a watch will actually take up on your wrist.
Orient Star is an absolute killer brand in my opinion. They offer so much more for the money. Some of their dress watches have the specs and finishing that rival Swiss alternatives that cost 10x as much. There are a few discontinued gems in their line that punch way beyond their asking price.
I purchased an Orient after seeing it on your blog. It's one of the nicest watches I've ever owned. Thanks! #influencer The MVMT interview was alright, but I think we all knew what they were selling. It was image. I noticed many designer watches of this type are private labled dollar store watches, but I have to respect the business achievement. To sell out to another junk watch company for $100M in only 7 years. Wow! Mad props. Besides, they're not fooling real watch guys and gals anyway.
I'm normally not a fan of skeletonized watches, but the Orient Star (the second one shown in shades of champagne and tan with blue hands) is, to me, a work of art. The way the colors and patterns work together is extremely appealing. I've seen photos of this one on several other websites and have been blown away by it from the very first. Now if I only had the $1895 asking price!
Wow....I m so early today....my chance to say something memorable.....ehhhhhm...no idea so how about something generic? Nice video as always Teddy. I love Orient as a brand (and my next watch will probably be one) so learning about their hidden gems was very nice.
Hi do you know of what Orient watch looks like a Credor watch ? I came across a comment that said that from a 2014 forum and now I have know which watch. Thanks
@@Marc-xk1rb hi..I assume u are referring to semi of full skeleton dials...then it's from orient star line and you should check out WZ0041DX or royal orient WE0031FQ and my favourite full skeleton from royal orient WE0041FQ...

I started with Orient and prefer them to Seiko or Citizen. I also was thinking why do I need an open heart, until I got Zeppelin Flatline version. It's just gorgeous.
Got my first Orient yesterday (EM75 XL Diver watch). BEAUTIFUL!! And Big, has some serious weight to it. And if you like luminescent watches, this one is it! Will hope to add the Helios later, love the look.
Great video, I'm glad you're giving Orient some love here. They have many great watches that get overlooked. My favourite is the Orient Star Star Seeker. It is a GMT, with sapphire crystal, 100m, and a power reserve. Great looking watch that you can find for around $750 or less. Highly recommend.
Great list. Another Orient that doesn't get much love is the hulking Orient Mako XL. It is a non-JIS 200m WR diver with an in-house automatic movement. They are lovely! They are on the larger side but wear really well on a variety of straps. Do have a look at those. Would love a video on those as not a lot of videos on them out there.
Teddy, the infographic for the Orient Star Skeleton is the wrong one. The text/description corresponds to the moon phase model. Great video though, thanks for posting it.
Great vídeos, man! Congrats! Here in my country (Brazil) we have special series from Orient: Flytech, SpeedTech, Seatech, are some examples. I’m a big fan of the brand!
Niiice video Teddy, always been a fan. 😊 Would you happen to come across an orient star WZ009 black dial Explorient watch before? I'd love to see your review on that 36mm classic. 😁 Thanks in advance.
Orient Models I'm aware of: Multi year Calendar Bambino Sun and Moon Symphony/Symphony II President Open Heart Day-date Monarch Agent Capital Howard Envoy Caliber Sentinel Tri-Star (3 Star) Power Reserve Automatic Esteem Stella Contemporary Helios Mako Triton Ray Polaris GMT Maestro Kamasu (LE) Kano Defender Neo 70s Quartz or Solar power
I absolutely love Orient Star Standard Date, its kinda like poor man’s Seiko SARX or Grand Seiko. Unfortunately it’s discontinued, but I managed to get one and Im so happy!
As far as affordable brands go, I love Seiko, but everyone knows what they bring to the table. Orient is my favorite and sometimes overlooked i think. Might be my favorite video on the channel so far!!!
Thanks for this video and introducing me to the Orient Star Outdoor 😊 I recently got the RE-AU0005L00B from Orient star and I'm really enjoying it. Classic size at 39mm, quality case finish, nice blue dial and keeps great time +-5 secs...and at an unbeatable price. ✌🏼
Almost a year ago I bought the Orient Triton and I am very satisfied with it, it is an excellent watch, of excellent quality and excellent finish, I always measure its accuracy and always goes ahead 2.5 seconds regardless of the position in which it is placed and the At which temperature I'm exposed, I'm really happy with it, Orient never deserts.
I just got an Orient Multi-year calendar RA-Ba0005... for less than 500, as a matter of fact 160$, absolutely beautiful. Also with the years the price has gone up, a lot.
Most of watches you just mentioned ere pretty common in here in Indonesian market, except for the star outdoor. i own the monarch and i absolutely love it!
I have an Orient Esteem fag02001b0 easily my favourite Orient dress watch for the price. I didn't think anyone else had ever heard of the esteem range! I've had it over a year now and I can't express how highly I recommend this watch if you're into open heart designs.
I just bought an Orient Symphony and love it. What I really want to know is, when is Orient going to put the awesome F69 movement of the Mako II and Ray II, in more watches? (Preferably a B dial aviator)
Great Video Teddy. I love Orient watches, they make some really beautiful pieces with great build quality and at really affordable prices. I need more Orients in my collection (bambino and Mako/Ray) . I'm still not sure which diver but all I know is I need a Orient diver in the collection. Anyways I'm blabbering on. Cheers.
Don't comment much but really love the channel been binge watching for about 2 weeks. Just opened my first restaurant so stuck with my TJ Maxx citizen and casio for now but you help that itch while I wait.
I’m actually trying to get my hands on the skeleton rn. the price tag is steep for an orient tho.. but still a nice layout on an in-house movement, power reserve display, second hand complication, Roman numerals, and good build quality
I have a Multi-Year Calendar with a green face and tachymetre. Hard to find but I could pick up a new one, here in Malaysia. One of my favourite watches ever.
Great content, will subscribe. Teddy, would you recommend an Orient Starline for wearing while playing tennis? My personal policy is to wear my watch 24/7 no matters what I'm doing.
I've got a Omega Seamaster on as I write this, but I still believe my Mako USA I was the most insane value watch you can buy. You are getting an in house movement, sapphire crystal, solid end links, and they are priced around $300 from Orient! Insane value.
Nice one highlighting Orients other than the Bambino and Mako/Ray. I think the Orient Star Classic uses mineral crystal unless that has changed in the last couple of years, the reason I don't have one. I would mention the Orient King Master day/date, a weird but cool watch and maybe the neo seventies panda solar chronograph.
How about the Orient RE-AT0205l00B and the other 70th edition watches. Almost all the videos on the watches aren't in English. The nebula face on the watch is gorgeous with that nice starry night look to it 😊
I love orient, have a Ray 2 as my daily driver, but sometimes I think they kind of overdone their date window game. I mean, why do you have to put a date window on the small second bambino?
Hey, Teddy, do you think it would be possible to show the casebacks of these movements as well? I know that the dial is what you see most of the time, but knowing if or if not a watch has a display caseback is really important to some people. Anywho, just my 2 cents.
I found out recently there are some 37.5mm Orients, (ER2K004W, ER2K001T). They are not bambinos so they don't have a dome crystal but they are still nice.
That full skeleton is intriguing, I may look more into it. They also have their Eclipse line which look amazing but come with integrated bracelets, so that may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Hey Teddy. Since Avengers Endgame came out you should do a video on the watches that the cast wears. A lot of them are sponsored by specific manufactures. I am a new subscriber and I am enjoying your videos very much!
Teddy, Where do you place Orient as a watch brand in terms of quality. It is clearly not a luxury brand, but are their automatic watches better than Seiko’s? How good of a brand is it overall? What is your personal take on them?
The Triton is fantastic, and great value. So is the Star Classic and Bambino. Too bad I can’t/won’t buy them because my style 90% of the time does not at all go together with something that dressy. I did buy the Bambino just to find that out. It doesn’t matter that a watch seems amazing, if it either doesn’t fit your style or is too big/small for your wrist.
I am an Orient owner but my problem with the brand is I believe they won't sell parts to anyone. If your watch breaks or needs parts then it must be sent to them for repair or nothing and Orient is only available in a few countries so that will mean international postage. If a Seiko breaks then you can buy parts or even whole movements for cheap (only new models as they don't support old watches) So you can buy a nice Orient and in 10 years time you may have to bin it because Orient no longer fixes that model and no one else has any parts to fix it.
Please do a review on Orient world time watches. They are a lot of watch for the money compared to the comparable Swiss watches. I have a black Journeyman (discontinued model) and I get a lot of complements on it. Also the perpetual calendar watch reviewed here comes in a world time version.
As some of you mentioned, the orient star classic has a mineral crystal. Sorry for the small mess up and thanks for watching!
Hey Teddy ! would u recommend buying orient sun and moon any version?
Teddy, thanks for a great review! Just a remark: they used to have mineral crystals, now classic models equipped with sapphire. But that's definitely should be double checked with the seller as they can ship an older model.
For you, what's the big difference between Seiko and Orient? And what's better value, orient or orient star?

Love the brand. Orient Polaris GMT is my every day watch. Very smart styling and the GMT is a nice feature.
Same here! it's my first Orient & I'm astonished by the accuracy & the date/GMT complications for $370.
Not a big fan of the power reserve indicator, but the blue moon phase is beautiful. Another great video! Thanks Teddy!
Orient has released a 36mm Bambino. This is great for all you guys with small wrists who think the 40 mm is too big.
Really?!?!?! Thanks for the heads-up!!!! I have large wrists but love normal size watches.
Oh my god that is amazing! I was hoping for a 38 mm one but whatever, I hope they will be discounted soon!
You'll find it under the "ladies" section. The watch itself is a beautifully proportioned gentlemen's watch, but the bracelet is very feminine.
I have a huge cock but a small wrist, this will be perfect for me. Thank you very much!

Nice one highlighting Orients other than the Bambino and Mako/Ray. I think the Orient Star Classic uses mineral crystal unless that has changed in the last couple of years, the reason I don't have one. I would mention the Orient King Master day/date, a weird but cool watch and maybe the neo seventies panda solar chronograph.
Orient also has a relatively less-known GMT model, Orient Constellation GMT. It has a 40.5mm diameter and relatively short lug-to-lug of 46.5mm.

How about the Orient RE-AT0205l00B and the other 70th edition watches. Almost all the videos on the watches aren't in English. The nebula face on the watch is gorgeous with that nice starry night look to it 😊
The power reserve looks so good!!! Although I agree it's a bit less cool on the automatics.
Love the power reserve on the Titan and Star! The Monarch, not so much-can’t get past the silly numbers font.
I love orient, have a Ray 2 as my daily driver, but sometimes I think they kind of overdone their date window game.

I love ORIENT. Jus bought the Starfish and made it my eveyday watch over my old G shock
I found out recently there are some 37.5mm Orients, (ER2K004W, ER2K001T). They are not bambinos so they don't have a dome crystal but they are still nice.
I love most things Orient, and I didn’t even know that skeleton existed. Not my bag, but dang, that looks pretty nice.
You didn't mention the TriStar. Such an affordable watch
I was hoping you would mention the Orient Disk. 😢
That is a unique watch for sure. A real eye catcher with the various colored indices. 👍🏼🇺🇸
That full skeleton is intriguing, I may look more into it. They also have their Eclipse line which look amazing but come with integrated bracelets, so that may not be everyone's cup of tea.
freaking awesome video. Orient is such a great brand!!
The Avant Grande... please look into it.
Hey Teddy. Since Avengers Endgame came out you should do a video on the watches that the cast wears. A lot of them are sponsored by specific manufactures. I am a new subscriber and I am enjoying your videos very much!
Cool idea Ryan. Have only seen the first movie lol... fail. But welcome to the channel!
Orient is awesome. I still love my Polaris GMT. Great vid, Teddy.
Awesome video, every day i enjoy it my ray ii
Glad to learn more about Orient!
teddy, check out the Orient Star Elegant Classic and Heritage Gothic lines as well. Though they're hard to find outside Japan.
Orient star moon has the 4 wrong is it suppose to be III or IV
Teddy,
Where do you place Orient as a watch brand in terms of quality. It is clearly not a luxury brand, but are their automatic watches better than Seiko’s? How good of a brand is it overall? What is your personal take on them?
The Triton is fantastic, and great value. So is the Star Classic and Bambino. Too bad I can’t/won’t buy them because my style 90% of the time does not at all go together with something that dressy.
I did buy the Bambino just to find that out. It doesn’t matter that a watch seems amazing, if it either doesn’t fit your style or is too big/small for your wrist.
I am an Orient owner but my problem with the brand is I believe they won't sell parts to anyone.
If your watch breaks or needs parts then it must be sent to them for repair or nothing and Orient is only available in a few countries so that will mean international postage.
If a Seiko breaks then you can buy parts or even whole movements for cheap (only new models as they don't support old watches)
So you can buy a nice Orient and in 10 years time you may have to bin it because Orient no longer fixes that model and no one else has any parts to fix it.
Please do a review on Orient world time watches. They are a lot of watch for the money compared to the comparable Swiss watches. I have a black Journeyman (discontinued model) and I get a lot of complements on it. Also the perpetual calendar watch reviewed here comes in a world time version.
Any chance you have a list of orient movements with seconds per day? As a comparison of quality?
