This Orient dual time model announced quite some time ago is finally available in Singapore. It’s main features are: dual time display, slide rule, power reserve and date.
Here’s a quick look.

Crown: Crown at 3 o’clock for setting time and date. Crown at 4 o’clock rotates the slide rule. Both are screw-in crown.
Crown operation: At first click position, turn anti-clockwise to set date. Turn clockwise to set the dual time indicator. At second click position, turn crown to set hour and minute hands. Second hand stops when crown is at this position.
Caseback: see through type.
Buckle and clasp: folding buckle with push button lock. Forged clasp rather than stamped one.

Not real perpetual calendar. It needs to be set each month if necessary.
