Cellphone Lume Shots

The other day, someone asked me for a lume shot of the SRP031. I never get good lume shots with my Canon camera so I decided to make one with my Nokia cellphone. The shot turned out to be quite decent so I decided to try a few more shots with different watches.

Watch Handling – Orient Open Heart CFH01001D0

This time round I take a look at an open heart watch by Orient. This watch is a recent international model that has garnered some interest among Orient fans on the Internet.

The watch is powered by the Orient 46S50 movement which features power reserve at 12, second hand sub-dial at 6 and open heart display at 9. There is no day/date feature in this movement so setting the time is very straightforward because you need not care about the AM and PM.

This movement is also used in the Retro Future Air Plane model as well as some JDM Orient Star models such as the WZ0011FH.
