Orient's got a new King Diver re-issue, the "Weekly Auto Orient". A fresh look on a watch released 55 years ago, the King Diver comes in that beautiful red and green that Orient does so well! Featuring a 200 meter water resistant case, internal bezel and in-house automatic movement (that Orient STILL makes in Japan), the King Diver will look great on your wrist!
Orient King Diver Re-issue 200 Meter Dive Watch with Automatic Movement #RA-AA0D02R1HB
The Orient model RA-AA0D02R1HB is a reissue of the 1965 Weekly Auto Orient King Diver with some modern touches and improvements. It’s not just a recreation—it’s an upgrade to the classic model. The original dial design has stayed intact however, complete with bar hour markers, luminous hands, detailed increment markings, and luminous pips in the center.
Inner bezel adjustments can still be made by the crown at two o’clock, while time setting is handled at four o’clock. When the Weekly Auto Orient King Diver was originally released in 1965, it featured a mere 40m of water resistance, which was on par with normal watches at the time. For this new re-creation the water resistance has been boosted to 200 meters. The case size has also been increased about 1mm. The movement has been upgraded from the original automatic caliber 660 to the new modern caliber F6922 which is automatic, hand-winding, and hacking.
Watch Features:
Movement: Orient Cal. F6922 Automatic (self-winding, hand wind, hacking)
