I'm going out on a limb here, but I like it. As fan of the 60's series UFO, I think this has a look of that time about it. Clearly the visual appearance of a watch is highly personal thing? It tells the time accurately, so for me, that's the bottom line. That's why I like my Tevise T801A. It functions as watch, looks good and costs nothing.

Orient has kept a few watches like this in their roster and I am surprised that it is called a reissue because I have seen these being sold nonstop over the last 40 years, but perhaps orient thought that they would cash in by using this term to sell these clunkers.. Said watches were kept, because they sold well in the middle eastern, and Indian markets. I have travelled a bit, and I have been to places where it is stylish to have large rattling watches dangling off of the wrist. This watch is wonderfully tacky, and I think that you missed the point Jody.

I actually like how this stands-out with the asymmetrical case and flashy dial. I think the blue and gold go well together. If only they had merged the gold indices with the lume pips inside them.

For the price I think I'll have to pass, but I am a bit saddened I have to, because I find this a charming fella

I saw an original of these at a flea market in Solana Beach California, marked at $75. It was beat up, dirty and I left it there after looking at it mostly because it was almost comically ugly but had to be fondled because it had the internal bezel and the Orient name on it. Later, I was surprised to see it on Orient's website, because this was not a nice watch in the hand. Now learning that it's in fact a complete repop, I respect the authenticity but join in wondering why the heck they picked this one. By the way, I support and appreciate that you can have a video that wasn't all positivity and gush.

I really like this 70’s inspired watches, I like the recraft line of seiko and of course this orient, as they say beauty is on the eyes of the beholder, I want that ugly watch

Got one for myself and honestly I love it. Gets way more wrist time than my swiss pieces.

It’s your video, but I think many if your gripes can be boiled down to: “I just don’t like it,” rather than, “It is undeniably ugly.” This watch captures the roccoco 70s aesthetic that would also have included Tiger’s Eye pinkie rings, smokey mirrors, and velvet paintings of Black and/or Asian ladies as if they were Ohio Players album models, but less honey and/or whipped cream. That said, it’s no Seiko King Seiko Vanac with faceted chrystal. I’ll agree with you on the price and the bracelet.

My wife got me the magenta one for our anniversary. It is my least favorite watch and I dare not tell her.

I wonder if the low water resistance is due to lack of screw down crown and/or crown for rotating bezel? I still wouldn't like the watch, but for me a screw down crown on the internal rotating bezel is a MUST; 2 reasons why; 1) it drives me nuts to see the internal bezel moved unintentionally, when not in use I want it at the 12 o'clock, if no screw down then at 4 in the afternoon you find it at the random marker and my search for order in my tiny part of the universe is ruined. 2) When I set it, I want it to remained set. Seriously. Not kidding. If I use that bezel for whatever reason I REALLY REALLY want to depend on it. In my experience lack of a screw down on the internal bezel means you get the wheel of fortune thing happening next time you look at it.

Apparently Orient also brought back 1970's-style 3-martini lunches while deciding what to reissue.

I have to disagree. It doesn't look like an Indian frankenwatch, it looks like an Indian frankenwatch the 6-year-old nephew of one of those watchmakers was allowed to design for his birthday. I mean a real gold fume dial with that case shape could have looked good - if they changed everything else.

God. The worst part of it for my OCD is that the third circle curved black fields on which the ten gold dots sit isn't even concentric so there are four odd sharp wedges through which the hideous gold strip shows. Ugh.

Hi Jody, thanks for this review, even if it's for bad news, but being honest is a quality I value as much as being nice to watch brands... and if it's a miss, it's a miss! Having the crown unaligned is also something that other brands do, Omega for instance, with the Speedmaster reduced; search pictures for this search phrase: omega speedmaster reduced crowns You'll see the middle crown being 1mm lower than the left & right pushers... for technical reasons in their case.

This is so gaudy I kinda love it. If I didn't already have a gold plated Invicta I'd add this to my "wear with a Hawaiian shirt that's half unbuttoned" rotation

To be true, the Orient branding reminds me of the cigarettes my mother used to smoke in the 60s. Simon Artz Orient Cigarettes.

It's not unlike my local Chinese restaurant's Monday special: mixed greens with assortment of meats, in other words, leftover kitchen scraps from the weekend. In this case, this would have been made from left over parts from at least 5 different watches.

Isn't this a watch for the blind, I feel that the glass should have a hinge on so that the owner can feel the metal studs to tell the time with.
