In this top 20 Orient watches video, I cover the best Orient watches for men in 2024. I was considering doing a top 10, however there are so many good, affordable options, it quickly escalated. Here's my selection of the best Orient dive watches, dress watches, minimalist watches, military watches, and chronographs - all tried and hands-on tested prior to recording. Is there a watch you think I missed?
Disclosure: TUS Watches did not sponsor this video. The following watches were purchased previously with my own money: Green Kamasu V1, Black Ray II, Neo Classic, Symphony, Pilot, Tristar, SK Diver & Bambino V3

Many thanks for the in depth video and multitude of watches covered! I know your channel is working as is, but please consider slowing down your speech delivery, and maybe having 2 videos? for this amount of covers? :) I'd also love to hear you talk about the Quartz/Mechanical movements used. It seems so easy to pay £200 more for a watch with the same movement as an 'aliexpress' one. Are we really getting +£150 of better case and bracelet quality?? Anyway, thanks for your time, and I hope I gave some constructive feedback. (Yes, no hate trolling here).

The green/orange Triton was my first automatic watch and I still love it. It took me a while to truly realize how insanely good its design is as well as the lume, the bezel and crown action which are nearly unmatched in all my collection.

@michaelpham2221 3 месяца назад

I love my Ray raven. I just got the Mako 40 in white. Love both watches. They wear very well due to the smaller dimensions. But best thing about them is the value. The quality far exceeded what I was expecting to get for the money.

@StrikeWarlock 3 месяца назад

You can tell how valuable Orient feels when you see zoomers and influencers mistake an Orient Bambino for a luxury watch just because of how classy it looks on a leather strap from that one Teddy Baldasarre video.

@santorini8423 3 месяца назад

What

@StrikeWarlock 3 месяца назад

@@santorini8423 Teddy has a video where he has zoomers and influencers see if they can recognize watch brands, on the last segment, he lines up a bunch of watches with varying straps and the Orient Bambino kept fooling people into thinking it was a luxury watch because of how good it looked on a leather strap.

@mariacomet 2 месяца назад

Hey Ben, this video made me pull the trigger on buying a greenish/tealish Kamasu V1. I had been hesitant as my wrist is smaller so anything over 41mm gives me pause but seeing it on your wrist and understanding how the lug to lug makes it fit closer to a 40mm really helped and I really liked your suggestion on the color. LOVE the watch.

@marcosziadi9230 Месяц назад

@officialatticusbrendan Месяц назад

Thank you very much for the review Ben! Besides the Mako solar chronograph, there is the Neo 70s lineup of chronograph watches made by Orient. I believe that it is worth mentioning or reviewing too. I am so glad to realise that so many Orient watches are great in so many ways yet remain extremely affordable. I really appreciate this review summary of the best Orient watches available.

@eshwarrao7358 19 дней назад

Like always, great review Mate!! - I do like the Orient sub-seconds in the champagne dial, Neo Classic is sporty. I do have a Kamasu and thats always the best. I believe you missed the 1965 WEEKLY AUTO ORIENT KING DIVER - Reissue. very nice dial, hope you looked at it.. good job and thanks for all the effort and service.

The red Kamasu was the first watch my wife bought me. Valentines Day 2021. I don't wear it a lot, but I still like it.

@tuliosouza8973 3 месяца назад

The Orient Maestro was my first mechanical watch. A few things to mention as an owner: -I guess I was under influence of the fashion watch at the time because the design looked great, but nowadays a think its quite boring -My version has a pretty impressive 100m of water resistance -Although not super thick at 12mm, the thickness is towards the top which makes it a bit difficult to wear under a cuff -Mine was running at +20s a day. But once the warranty expired I regulated it my self and now it runs consistently at +3s a day

@jasonmacfarlund2703 3 месяца назад

I really like the mechanical orient maestro. The blue hands and hour markers are unique and the raised crystal is a great touch.

@robertmorano2372 3 месяца назад

I love orient. I wear a black dial ray 2 almost daily. I cook for a living and the watch has been more than impressive. If orient is listening, My Christmas wish is for a 36mm explorer "style" watch at the ray/mako price points. I recently took to ali express because I wanted to try 36mm and not be out a bunch of money. Of course I went straight to the orient catalogue but no luck. I now love the size and would probably daily an orient in this format.

@simonwright6882 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the break from the dozens of rolex videos. My picks would be the kamasu red dial and the cream dial 38mm bambino.

Type B dial flieger that’s excellent for the money asked. Love my two Orients, but still very annoyed that there are NO Authorised Dealers in Australia, so I have to go grey market, as overseas ADs aren’t allowed to ship to Australia 😢

@hlebo 3 месяца назад

Excellent video (as always). As much as I would like to buy an Orient, all of their sport models are much big. I think guys don't realize how ridiculous a 42mm watch looks. Orient needs to move toward 40mm for its divers and solar chronograph -- then I would be buying.

@jaimemello17 3 месяца назад

@JBass33 3 месяца назад

The Orient Flight series was my entry into the automatic watch world. I have one in each of the dial colors (green, cream, black, etc.) in the “B” dial. The Flight series is rather basic as some have noted, but the B dial always gets comments. Orient improved the series when it upgraded the movement to hack and hand wind. (I have the first movement which doesn’t hack or hand wind.)

I do have an M-Force watch lying around somewhere but simply haven't gotten around to checking it out.

I really wish the Symphony line got more attention, I have a Symphony IV in blue with the leather band, and it’s a very nice looking watch, the dial is black to deep dark blue in lower light, and in certain light is a bright, brilliant, and vibrant blue, the hands and indices are quite nice too. It has a sapphire crystal and a display case back, it’s also smaller than the III by a little bit; even at its dimensions, it doesn’t fit seemingly that large, the proportions of the dial to case make it appear smaller while not making the dial look like it’s drowning in the case. mine had some QC issues, but I expect that to not be an issue. (I always seem to get products with QC issues even when said product is praised for QC😂)
