The Urban Gentry
Published on Jul 29, 2019
One of the longest awaited watch reviews on The Urban Gentry channel is finally here! For quite some time (donkeys, you could say!) Seiko has dominated the entry level when it comes to dive automatic watches. Orient has always come a close second, but that is all about to change...or is it?
Today I review a watch that heralds a new era for Orient as they take inspiration from not only the tried and tested ultra affordable hits of the brand, but the heavy hitters too. With the colors and bezel of Mako and Ray models, the complications and dial of the Saturation professional series, and a case like the legendary Seiko SKX, is there a new king of the under $500 divers? Let’s take the plunge and find out if this watch sinks or swims!
