“The package arrived in excellent condition, and on time. My dad has been eyeing this watch for a long time, I’m sure he’ll be pleased! Thank you so much!”
“I was in the market for a casual 100m water resistant automatic watch with a screw down crown and a date complication (no dive bezel). I spent not a little bit of time, but ALOT of time looking all over the internet to meet those requirements. Those requirements normally far exceed a few hundred bucks and I actually landed on a Sinn 556, but for literally $1000 cheaper, I decided to give this a shot. I dig it. It’s cool, and a totally original Orient design. It’s my 2nd Orient, and I like both of them quite a lot. Also, all kinda straps look cool on it. And it’s s 22mm lugs take make it nice to swap around straps between it and my SKX. The rotor is kinda noisy but who cares really, it’s a rad watch for 120 bucks, and would be for much more than that.”
“I was looking for a daily casual wear watch and the Orient Defender ticks nearly all boxes. The asymmetrical dial is eye catching without looking cluttered. The blasted matte case gives it a rugged look. The only thing I would have liked is hand winding and hacking. The textured leather band enhanced the casual rugged look without going full military. I have swapped it out to a striped nylon NATO strap for some extra cool.”
“I have been incredibly happy with my purchase. I am new to watch collecting but this watch has checked every box I wanted, even the ones I didn't know about.
The band fits my wrist very well and the complications have been incredibly helpful.”
“I bought this watch and engraved it to celebrate beating a rare blood disorder. I received my Orient Defender promptly from Long Island Watch. At checkout I did find a way to claim my first-time buyer 5% discount, so that amount was not awarded.
I've worn the Defender now for over a month and thoroughly enjoy it. I love the Day of the Week presentation and the 24-hour military time dial. Those items along with the day of the month numeral at 6-o'clock help fulfill my minimum needs for a daily driver watch.
The 42mm diameter is a tad large for my small wrist but I don't mind at all; the overall aesthetic of the black fascia is totally arresting. The Defender is accurate to about a minute a week. (I compared against my phone :) ). I really dig the screw down crown. That's cool to me.
This is a lovely watch which checks all my boxes. I feel I got a great deal at $127.00. Well done Orient! Well done LIW!”
“I bought the Orient defender and found it to be the best automatic field watch for the money I have bought. I have a Hamilton field khaki and it's the ree times the price and doesn't keep time any better. My dad loves automatic watches and he liked mine so we'll I ordered him one from your shop also. He LOVES it. He said he can't believe how long it keeps running after he takes it off. He timed it with a Tag Huer and found it kept better time. Also your shop is professional and fast. Better than another online shop I used to order from. Great watch, great service.”
