Orient Version 3 Automatic Watch with Hand Winding #AK00001Y

The new version 3 of the popular Orient watch now has a new automatic caliber F6B24 that features hand winding and hacking. Also aesthetically, there are a few subtle differences. The sun and moon sub-register from V2 has been relocated to the lower right side of the dial on V3 while the day indicator from V2 has moved to the upper-left dial location. The date indicator remains in the same location in V3 as it was in V2.

Additionally, the print of the Roman numeral hour numbers has been lifted, making them appear a tad larger and bolder. The dial conveys the same level of depth as the previous version; however the concentric and guilloche detailing seem to be more pronounced and crisp. In short, the Version 3 picked up where it’s predecessor left off, and became even more refined. Dimensions-wise, the Version 3 has remained unchanged. It still sits at 42.5mm across, and 14mm thick. (which is attributed to its domed sapphire crystal). The watch comes with an alligator grained leather strap with a deployant clasp.
