New Models by Seiko and Orient

Orient M-Force 2014 Model – EL07002B
The M-Force name was revived in 2011 and since then, a 200m M-Force diver is released each year without fail.

Every M-Force diver is compliant with three ISO standards namely ISO 6425 diver’s watches, ISO 764 anti-magnetic watches and ISO 1413 shock-resistant watches.
Here’s a quick look at the EL07002B.
