“Power reserve, GMT, sapphire crystal, handwinding and hacking in a very legible, attractive, wearable size on the wrist.... For under $400!!
If you arent / havent buying one of these from Long island watch, you are missing out.”
“Perfect size for me. Dial is gorgeous. Love the power reserve ! Accuracy is just fine.
I've accumulated over 150 watches over the past 10 years. Some are nice but many are starting to look and feel like gargantuan glitzy ostentatious hockey pucks. I renewed my interest in collecting and recently acquired 4 Orients. Thanks Orient !
I have seen the light!”
“I purchased this watch for my Husbands' birthday gift after seeing a youTube video from Long Island watch. The shipping time was amazingly fast (2 days I believe) and the watch itself is stunning! The cream multi patterned dial and blue hands are only just a few of the details that stand out and make the watch a beauty. My husband particularly loves the hand winding function and that the watch is GMT. The sapphire crystal gives the watch a Lovely finish and the leather strap with deployant clasp is very nice and wears well. Thank you Long Island watch for all your educational YouTube videos as well as providing amazing watches for a spectacular value!”
“Delivery time one week which was very good.
Packaging robust and functional.
Lovely looking watch for a Christmas present.
2nd purchase from Long Island watch with no issues.
Unfortunately British customs add VAT before you can have it.”
“This watch is utterly beautiful; photographs cannot do it justice. It's so beautiful that when I look at it I forget to read the time! The GMT hand works exquisitely. I reckon mine is less than ten seconds fast in 24 hours, within spec and good for any clockwork movement. It's a bit big at 42mm, but lug-to lug it's only 48mm, so it's OK on my 7.5 inch wrist; I'd prefer 40mm. The leather strap is stiff, and very uncomfortable on its padded sections, and unless you brutally break it in, it will not let the watch sit comfortably on your wrist. I swapped it immediately for a navy blue NATO, which I wear in the "down-under" style: the security loop goes under my wrist so no excess length is bunched-up beside the watch. This NATO strap picks up the stunning blue of the hands and I think the combination is gorgeous. The NATO also minimizes the size of the watch on my wrist and lets it sit comfortably. This is definitely my best Orient, maybe better than my Orient Star.”
“Love my new watch, the Orient Polaris. GMT, automatic, power reserve indicator, and hacking was my requirements. I am indeed fortunate that my new Orient includes all my requirements and is absolutely beautiful. I would not call this a "tool" watch. I have a gen 1 Orange Monster that is my "tool" Watch. The Polaris is definitely a looker and fills the needs of a dress watch in my opinion.”
