“I was a bit worried about the dial color seeing that some sites show it as electric blue. It is in fact a beautiful and subtle matte navy grey. I love it.
I've been keeping track of the precision of my watch for the first week and I am averaging a superb +3 to 4 seconds a day.
Since there is no weight given in the specs of this watch anywhere on the net, I thought I'd share my measurement: 144 grams for the watch and metal bracelet.
I've found 2 downsides to the watch.
- The crown should be bigger and more prominent - I almost need my fingernails to unscrew the crown.
- And, the metal bracelet feels cheap. I would have gladly paid an extra $20 or so to have a more substantial feeling bracelet. I have in fact taken the bracelet off and installed the watch on a NATO styled sand colored nylon strap and it now looks way better than on the original bracelet.
All in all, I am quite impressed with Orient and I feel that this won't be my last one.”
