“The logo looks like a cigarette packet” had me rolling 😂 and reminded me of mom’s cheap 1980’s off-brand smokes.

@karlsenula9495 Год назад

I'm waiting for the Orient Marlboro 😁 ...

@barrettwbenton Год назад

The Wife said it first. 😅

@barrettwbenton Год назад

These are a little hit-or-miss: The Kamasu is a bang-for-buck rock star, while the Defender...I can dig an asymmetrical dial, but the dial texture makes things busy in an off-putting way to my eye. Orient Star has a ton of appealing models, including the Classic, but I think there's are nicer variations on this one.

@MattSeesGray Год назад

It’s not the first time he’s said this, but I will never ever be able to unsee this a cigarette logo lol. So accurate.

@paulhiggins8774 Год назад

I quite like the logo, better than the solder splat Sam Martin use

@ngm1237 Год назад

I have 4 Orients. Epic quality, attention to detail & they're cheap as chips. I struggle looking at other brands now as they just can't compete with the Japanese quality. I love them.

@marcustulliuscicero9140 Год назад

Seiko (watches) do not own Orient. Orient are owned by the Seiko-Epson Corporation, who own Seiko watches, the printer company Epsom, and Orient among other companies. It would be more accurate to say Orient are owned by/part of the same company as Seiko. Orient are also selling movements to microbrands as 'Epson' movements

@vatazhka Год назад

Yup, YN55 found in Vostok Europe and San Martin watches is an unbranded version of F6922.

@MikeSmith-er1qs Год назад

Orient is killing it at the affordable level. I personally have two Kamasu’s, two baby tritons, a mako2, and a bambino!!! :)

@ngm1237 Год назад

I've got 2 Sun & Moons, a Bambino and a gorgeous all Black Ray 2 divers. The Ray is my daily driver but I love them all, fantastic bang for the buck.

@user-to9lk8ix6h Год назад

The Kanno looks pretty good too.

@corail53 Год назад

They have been doing the same thing they always have - they aren't killing as if they are doing this just now - it is just what they have always done and every single watch you just mentioned has been hyped up by cheap watch reviewers on youtube who tend to get affiliate dollars from shilling them.

@MikeSmith-er1qs Год назад

@@corail53 completely disagree. The newer models they’ve brought out over last 4 or 5 years are better quality and much better design. Not to mention, with Seiko departing the really affordable entry level, they are one of the only big brands operating under the $250 mark…. Hence, they’re killing it!

@bogrot69 Год назад

That Kamasu is a banger! Gorgeous dial. I own Four Orient's. The Kanno is another winner from Orient. They definitely are the new Seiko in my books

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Год назад

Superb my friend!

@corail53 Год назад

How are they the new Seiko? Orient has raised prices just the same and Seiko haven't really done anything different in their line and neither has Orient. If you want a 3-500 watch then either or would make good choices.

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Год назад

@@corail53 Saphire glass, in house movement , screw down crown , better bezel action . That’s for 200 bucks buddy . Entry level Seiko divers aren’t even dive watches anymore plus they are 300 bucks. It’s as plain as anything to see???

@simonyallop1488 Год назад

I managed to get a 1970's king diver and it keeps almost perfect time which is a testament to orient for an almost 50y old watch .

@bandwagon240 Год назад

Thanks for bringing up the Star. Beautiful piece that's not quite Presage level but still a looker. Love that power reserve complication.

@brianmsahin Год назад

Thanks Russell, this is a much needed video! Too many RU-vidrs ignore Orient. I already have my 3 watch collection consisting of older classics. The amazing orange bezel 44.5mm Mako XL for my big wrist, a Japanese domestic market Chronograph, can't remember the model number and finally a beautiful Tristar dress watch with an ocean blue dial that is now no longer available on the interwebs!! I do like your list too by the way. A very solid trio!

@Pye422 Год назад

I'm jealous. There are a number of tristars I've seen images of that I'd love to own but I just can't find one. I do have a Bambino and it's one of the favorites in my collection.

@@Pye422 Bambino is a great watch my friend. It's definitely one of the most iconic Orient watches. Enjoy it!

@corail53 Год назад

No one has ignored Orient - almost every one of the cheap watch reviwers has videos on Orient - they have been around for a very long time as a brand. Orient is just one of those cheap watches that cheap collectors grab and those who need a not bad looking watch they don't really care if they mess up will buy - just like Seikos.

Great video again mwc the logo observation is spot on its what I see every time I look at my kamasu 😂😂

@David-nx2vm Год назад

I have a burgundy-dial Kamasu - it punches way above its weight. Orient is not a mall watch; you have to put in a little work to get one. When I see an Orient on-wrist while out and about, I know I’m in the company of an enthusiast.

@vatazhka Год назад

I think that it depends on a market - Orient has been quite popular in Poland since 1970s at least. They have been known for being inexpensive yet extremely reliable.

@daley1985 Год назад

I have the Red Kamasu on a jubilee and the green dress Maestro with 10atm and Sapphire on mesh .Both absolutely stunning.Just need a 3rd!

@stevenharper6888 Год назад

UK Orient customers just be aware that it is so hard to get a broken Orient repaired. There’s a UK service centre that do not hold spares and no idea when they will be available! Orient UK & Europe have been no help. I loved my Kamasu until the stem broke. Had a couple of nice strapecode bracelets and now it’s all junk in the drawer. Such a shame !!!

@danieldotcom3743 Год назад

Orients design language reminds me a lot of vintage stuff from the 70s (neo 70s pandas aside lol). the subtle glints from indicies, the shape of indicies, case design etc. and i love it because anything 70s is right up my alley. The aftermarket for divers is pretty good too, i put my green gen 2 kamasu on a miltat jubilee & i honestly haven’t taken it off since!

@corail53 Год назад

That is because they haven't really changed their looks since the 70s.

@hgr.7857 Год назад

One of my favorite watches is a black dial Mako II that I modded with a blue-tint sapphire dome, glass retro minimal bezel insert, coin edge bezel, and Islander jubilee brac. Looks great, feels great... FF vibes but it's all mine and 1-of-1 (actually kinda more 👑 Milsub with the sword hands, but again, those Arabic cardinal numbers... I love it).

@karlsenula9495 Год назад

I would agree that Orient are what Seiko used to be before QC issues and price increases.

@vatazhka Год назад

Orient's QC also sucks. I had to return a Flight and a Kanno due to manufacturing faults (one of numerals not lumed and a wonky bezel, duh), but I liked both watches so much that I opted for a replacement rather than money-back.

@Star-bp5jj 11 месяцев назад

@@vatazhkaYes buts thats why its way less expensive then sekio. You will pay double for sekio with some of the same QC issues..... I love sekio but they have been disipointing recently.. Also Sekio seems to be moving up market hence the price increase tho without QC increasing. Orient is not the best in quality but for the price, may be worth it. I think they are the new Value watch. Maybe

@Okido24 Год назад

Fun video Russ!

@karlojca Год назад

Aha! I started my mechanical diver collection with an Orient Ray 2 with the awesome blue sunburst dial. If had to pick 3 Orients from Jomashop, I would go for these ones: 1- RA-AC0K02E10B - Orient Triton with a green dial. Lovely green color and very SKX inspired shape. I like the date window at the 4 o'clock position with a half loom pip. 2- RA-AC0L08Y00B- Orient M-Force with an orange dial. Really pops! 3- RE-AU0404N00B - Orient Star with a silver dial. Dressier watch with a classic touch. Love the black date window. Awesome video!! Thanks for your great work!

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Год назад

Wow that’s awesome! I have honestly struggled to take it off it’s that comfortable!

@xniorvox Год назад

I have the Orient RA-AA0C06E19B, got it for like 120 EUR and I love this thing. Green and gold do the job, there's a day & date complication, a see-through case and a lovely rotor. Just the leather croc strap was stiff, but I have replaced it with comfy suede NATO. And the glass is mineral, but hey, Seiko Presage costs 3 times the money and also only has a mineral. I am very happy with the watch and the deal.

@CreateTimeToListen Год назад

I have the same one since January. Was my first automatic watch (and the start of my journey as a watch collector). Underrated watch in my opinion. That lume is also quite impressive. I can still read the time at night about 6 hours after I charged the lume.

@spencemiller9301 Год назад

You asked us to look through Jomashop for a three watch collection … 1. Kamasu Automatic RA-AA0003R19B red dial. I have this one, so have to put that in there! Wears great on my 7.2” wrist. And fairly accurate at +6 secs/day. Can’t beat that for the money. 2. The Bambino is a bit predictable, but nice. Bambino Version 4 Automatic Blue Dial FAC08004D0 blue/black dial. Nice. I was torn between a gada and a true diver in the Orient Star line. I haven’t dived / dove(?) In years, but I have G-Shocks that can get wet, so I’d go with the dressier gada. 3. Orient Star Automatic Blue Dial RE-AU0005L00B without the open heart.

I did a Orient three watch set too. I picked up an Orient Mako 3 champagne, Orient Multi-Year Calendar white, and Orient RA-AC0E green. I did the bracelet changes too. I changed the oysterband on a 38mm Seiko with the mesh bracelet on the RA-AC0E. I owned two other Orients. One had a misaligned screwdown crown and the other was solar powered which was so big it was uncomfortable to wear.

@criscampos7308 Год назад

I own the same black Orient Star Classic. Love the reflection of the hands and indices when they catch the light. Looks like a much more expensive watch than it is. Although great on the bracelet it’s a strap monster as well. Only wish it was a sapphire crystal.

@cornovii934 Год назад

@albertomolina3868 Год назад

I purchase this Defender and really love it. I wish it had a sapphire crystal but that would be a price increase so I'm sure they want to keep the costs down. Personally, I have no problem with the bracelet on the mako or ray. But this bracelet is a bit more flimsy so I put it on a rubber strap for summer. It looks fantastic on the rubber strap and I will switch to a nato during colder months. I picked up mine for under $145 including tax and shipping. Since picking up the watch it has gotten more wrist time than any other in my collection.

@skxcellent Год назад

A great show MWC, Thanks! I'm a huge fan of Orient and have said before that the best value Seiko is an Orient! I have the earlier generation Kamasu with the teal/green dial. Yet, its not one of the ones I chose for the 3 watch collection! I centred this collection around tool watches that would actually fit my lifestyle and with a Sea, Land and Air theme: Sea: Orient Star Diver RE-AU0301B00B black dial. Proper Diver's 200m certified and the cornerstone of the collection. $530 Land: Orient Defender RA-AK0403N10B black dial, black pvd case on a green NATO. Stealthy field watch vibes for your adventures. $177 Air: Orient RA-AC0H03B10B black dial on black leather. Classic Type-B flieger styling. $155 All that tooly goodness for $862 USD!

I have only owned one Orient watch. When I bought it new around 12 years ago, it was called the Orange Mako; now I suppose we would call it the Mako I. It's a delightful Orange dial diver with very similar dimensions to the SKX. It has two crowns, one at 3 O'clock for setting the time/date and another at 2 O'clock for setting the day. It contains an in-house automatic non-hacking, non-hand winding movement that appears to be tough as nails. The rotating bezel is a simple aluminum insert and the crystal is mineral glass. The lume is beyond great, even better than on my Citizen ProMaster Diver. Orient has some good things going on!

Answering your question, yes you kinda can have everything....with the Citizen NB1050 lol I really don't understand how that watch isn't talked/praised on RU-vid. Probably the best bang per buck watch currently on the market, from major brands. It does have everything. AR coated sapphire, 4hz movement, milled clasp, solid links and endlinks, pins and collars, incredibly well finished (better than that Orient Star imo)...for less than 500bucks. 38mm, available with a black, blue or white dial.

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Год назад

It’s the reason why I do t really like Citizen . The watch bores me my friend . I don’t know what it is about Citizen but when they do simple, it’s boring and when they do complicated it’s still boring! It’s my weird thing I have with the brand .

@tiagodvt Год назад

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Well it certainly is a boring watch, and that's why it is a great GADA watch, just like the Seiko SARBs were. I don't think it is more boring than the Orient Star - in fact it is more interesting when you look at the different case edges and finishes. But that's fair, obviously - we can't all like the same things :) I do think Citizen is doing great things. With their Tsuyosa models, their NY0040 divers, the NB1050, their various solar models, etc. To me Citizen and Orient are way better than Seiko nowadays and it hurts to say it, because Seiko was the brand that made me fall in love with watches when I was a kid.

@vatazhka Год назад

Citizen offers incredible finishing and QC for the price (I bought an NJ0100 for $110 and love its teak dial!), but Miyotas 82xx in their non-premium lines come straight out of 1970s...

@tiagodvt Год назад

@@vatazhka Yes the 8 series aren't as great,but they are not that bad imo. I own a Tsuyosa with an 8 series and I've owned a full lume dial Ny0040 with the updated 8204 (with hacking). Sold it because it was a little misaligned and had some excess of black paint on the dial. They certainly are noisier than the Seiko NH36 and the rotor is unidirectional, but the truth is that mine were way more accurate than the NH36s I have owned (and I have owned plenty). BUT the watch I was talking about (the NB1050) comes with a 4hz 9series movement. And that is a whole different "beast". Mine is doing +2 a day (it is the only one I ever experienced though).

What a great Orient collection MWC! I would definitely have a a Mako, Kammasu or Kano dive watch and I like the very vintage Orient Star dress watch . I’m not a fan of the Defender so I would swap that out for a chronograph. Jomashop doesn’t have one of the Neo70s panda chronographs on their site which would be my first pick but they do have the Flight Chronograph which is like a Type B Flieger merged with a 70s RAF chronograph.

You should definitely try an Orient. Designs are a matter of taste, but the movements tend to have less positional variance and to be better regulated out of the factory than Seiko 4R family. They can often be regulated to -4...+6 spd in all positions, which is quite a feat for a cheap 21600 bph movement.

@BulldogBadger Год назад

@@vatazhka thank you! I will definitely be taking a better look at them going forwards, I am a Seiko lover but recently they are hiking the prices a little and not giving what I see as Value for money whilst also shirking the work in the QC dept.. it makes it harder for me to want to give them my money

@@BulldogBadger Beware, their QC might be dodgy at times. I had to return 2 Orient watches so far - one was missing lume on one of the numerals (!), and the other had a wonky bezel.

Both replacements are flawless and keep great time - +2 and +4 spd when worn.

Been buying Seiko since 1975. Never been disappointed with Seiko and never been tempted with an Orient. How could they be the 'new' Seiko ? Decades of catching up to do ? and have you ever seen an Orient 'mod site' or Orient 'mod market ? . Will never get close in reputation or popularity for me . Good video though, you managed to confirm my thoughts on them....

Cheers my friend. It’s what they offer at the entry level for me that gets me excited about Orient. That new Seiko 5 was 300 bucks! Dive style watch, hardlex , 100 mWR . That Kamasu 200m WR screw crown, caseback, Saphire glass, in house movement . Over 100 bucks cheaper . Orient have a 73 year old history that’s the problem;) Seiko are well over a hundred! I prefer Seiko definitely!!! Don’t get me wrong but if I was directing a new watch enthusiast to a good value for money entry level diver…… I wouldn’t go to Seiko anymore

Triton orient, classic blue and a Bambino v4 champagne. The first one is my favourite. How much was import tax on three watches

'The Big O', always a good choice.😄

If I was picking 3 from Jomashop now I’d go for the bambino small seconds, the blue dial sun and moon and a Kamasu, would have preferred the Neptune/Triton with the power reserve but alas it’s no longer in production. I do own a Neo 70s panda and love it.

@MrKrekkie Год назад

I was hoping for the new panda but these are great too.

Brilliant review. I'm not an Orient person but i always watch vids for the way you do the reviews and the wife's thoughts. 😂😂👍👍

Thank you my friend!

I've got 2 Orients and couldn't recommend to try this brand enough. If you like the design, you won't be dissapointed. I think they still make the 3 Stars model - an affordable homage to Rolex. It was very popular in the 90's and the 00's. And Kamasu is the best diver for the price hands down. I wish they didn't raise the prices on the updated 38 mm Bambino. That cream dial with blue hands looks nice, but my Kamasu cost me around 200eur

I have to try one. I need to check the range. The defender could be a nice pilot watch if less busy.

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Год назад

That would fit you lovely Christian!!!!

I have a bambino and I'm obsessed with it. Paid 130 dollars for it. 130 dollars.

Orient Kamasu was my first dive watch and god, it's just so good. I don't even know what to say. It just does everything right.

@stevehenrytagami4709 Год назад

Do a three watch collection with San Martin . Orient Kamasu in red is on my list with a red rubber strap

Orient has always been great value for money. They have in house movements and practical designs. There designs aren’t always trendy like with the defender’s day complication but that’s one of the things that sets them apart. Big fan of Orient. I’d pick it over Seiko in most cases. I think all there movements hack and handwind too, I think… Great brand!
