Watch On
Orient is the new best value option when looking for affordable sports- and dive watches. In many aspects Orient beat big brother Seiko. In this video I compare the Orient Triton Diver with power reserve with the new Triton "light" PVD-bronze sports watch.
THE SPECS
Read on and explore all the details.
Although the RA-AC0K may boast the same 43.4mm rugged case diameter as the Neptune, it manages to exhibit a slimmer fit on the wrist with a more compact 12.
8mm case thickness. The dial is matte with a faint starburst pattern and large, round dots for hour markers. Its hardiness is enhanced by a sapphire crystal, screwed-down crown, and 200m water resistance that all work to keep it ticking, rain or shine. The off-set positioning of the crown at 4 o’clock also offers superior wrist comfort. Like the Neptune, the RA-AC0K showcases powerful, lasting lume on the hands, hour markers, and pip of the bezel. These features combined ensure the watch has all the toughness and legibility of its predecessors while sacrificing none of the wearability.

THE SPECS
Read on and explore all the details.It goes without saying that the Diver watch has always been at the forefront of our collection. A number of popular and noteworthy models have helped define our Diver line: an assortment of well built, reliable timepieces that punch well above their weight class.
We pride ourselves on the fact that they are made for the everyman, from the desk diver to the recreational diver and even the commercial diver. Every year we release a new diver watch, and this year we’re excited to unveil the Orient Neptune. The Neptune takes design inspiration from a number of classic divers from our collection. Each hour marker is defined by a thick lume plot that’s surrounded by polished metal, which allows the dial to be visible in both brightness and in darkness. Additionally, the matte dial allows the hour markers and hands to stand out during the day. The bezel features a matte insert, and rotates unidirectional at 120 clicks. Mirroring other higher-end Orient divers, the Neptune boasts a date display as well as a nifty power reserve indicator. The size of the Neptune falls between the classic diver and past M-Force watches at 43.4mm wide and 13.6mm thick. It bears the “DIVER’S 200M” stamp on the dial and is compliant with the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) for a Class 1 Diver watch, making it suitable for recreational SCUBA diving. It is powered by the Orient caliber 40N5A, the same automatic, hand-winding and hacking movement that runs the Pro Saturation Diver.
