Today we review the Orca – a different kind of
Orient automatic diver watch for men
from Orient of Japan. Although offered under the umbrella name of
Diver’s automatic, this is not a professional diver’s watch. But it
being water resistant up to depths of 100 meters (just over 300 feet),
it would look great on the wrist of any skin diver or shallow water
diver or water sports enthusiast.
Unlike pro divers automatics which are
real monsters, the Orca is a beautiful pearl of a watch (especially the
white dial), that will look handsome on your wrist in the water and also
out of it. We dare say it will even fetch you some sly, ‘come hither’
looks during a party. A macho man with an Orca – the
Orient automatic diver watch, spells class and a sense of pride in himself.
The Orca
Orient diver watches for mens
comes in elegant and finely finished steel case and bracelet. It sports
a matching unidirectional bezel; makes you out to be either a serious
water sports enthusiast or a man who values accuracy and elegance. The
Orca sports luminous hands and indexes which look grand especially when
you drive at night. Your co-passengers can’t but help notice your style
and the statement an
Orient diver watches makes.
We called the Orca a ‘Pearl’ for good
reason – the clean contrast of the white dial against a finished silvery
steel case is nothing short of stunning. It spells class and its 41mm
case is very much in tune with current trends. At the very least, you
won’t have to squint to read the time. A fairly large day and date
window ensures you know the date, day and time precisely. That’s the
Orca for you – a very functional
Orient Diver’s automatic watch for men from the Orient Company of Japan.
For the uninitiated, Orient is famous for
only using parts that they custom manufacture themselves. They do not
believe in outsourcing or importing cheap parts. When you wear an Orient
diver’s automatic watch for men, you not only wear class, you also wear
quality that lasts you a lifetime. This is borne out by the fact that
many online forums carry adverts offering used Orient diver’s automatic
watch for men – watches that are 10 or 15 years old but keeping time
accurately. Very few watch manufacturers make watches like that any
longer.
Orca, the
Orient mako diver watch
for men does not need to be manually wound. It uses the movement of
your wrist to automatically wind itself up. You no longer have to
remember whether you’ve wound up the watch – just wear it and forget it.
It winds itself up, keeps accurate time and looks fabulous on your
wrist.
What more does one need?
Spanish speakers would love the fact the
day on the day window can also be set to display the days in Spanish. If
a steel bracelet bothers you (due to size of the wrist or other
concerns), you can also opt for the Orca with rubber strap. The rubber
strap fits quite snugly and is skin-friendly. The rubber strap is black
in colour and has a very slight sparkle to it that looks nice but is
only noticeable up close.
Orca, the
Orient automatic dive watch for men, buys you class and functionality without burdening you with deep dive features you might not really require.
