This time round, I had the opportunity to handle an international market Orient. This is a fairly new model and according to Orient’s website, the model number is EM7A003B. However, the model number on the hangtag is FEM7A003B. There is the alphabet ‘F’ on in front.
Let’s take a look.

Orient celebrated its 60th Anniversary on 13th July 2010 and a “60th Anniversary” limited edition watch was released to commemorate the event. There are two variants of the watch, one with stainless steel case and another one with a gold(4 micron) plated case.
Each variant is limited to 1500 pieces worldwide and I am privileged to be able to pick up the stainless steel variant.

Orient continues its sponsorship of STI’s (Subaru Tecnica International) participation in the Nurburgring 24-hour race for a second year. The race was held on 15-16th May 2010 and a limited edition watch was announced by Orient prior to the event.
This watch is a collaboration between Orient and STI based on the experience gained from the previous year’s race and was actually worn by members of the STI team during the 2010 race.
I saw a black dial Orient 300m diver in the wild today. Saw it when I was queuing up to pay for groceries at the supermarket (NTUC Tanjong Pagar around 7:15pm.). The guy in front of me was wearing the Orient 300m diver on rubber strap.
Earlier today, I was at Big Time and there was a guy who wanted to know the physical differences between the Orient 300m diver and the 200m version (Revolver). I did a post on this topic on my Windows Live Space and it was retrieved to show the customer.
Below is a reproduction of the old post. I have been meaning to archive it here.

Besides round shaped watches, Orient makes a number of rectangular and tonneau shaped watches and I have looked at a couple of them here in the past.
This time round, I had the opportunity to look at the Orient LERAG001B, another rectangular watch by Orient. This model was released some time ago but it was only recently that I had the chance to see it.
I picked up this Orient 300m diver from a local guy recently and have been wearing it for almost two weeks. This watch is only available in the Brazilian market and is nicknamed “Poseiden” by watch collectors there.
I wore it to two watch shops (Big Time and K2) that I frequent and have received some compliments on it. Here’s a quick review for you.

When it comes to Orient divers or their non-ISO certified dive style watches, my focus is always on the 300m SAT diver or the new Mako or Hogrider. This time round, I had the opportunity to handle the Orient Dolphin, a smaller dive style watch and I am quite impressed by it.

This time round I had the opportunity to handle this Orient open heart watch with a tonneau shape case or beer barrel shape as some may call it.
This is an internatational model and falls somewhere between the middle and upper tier category in Orient’s product offerings. Let’s look at some of its features.
