Orient USA II Blue Dial Automatic Dive Watch with Sapphire Crystal #SND983

This is a Scratch and Dent Orient watch. It had a crown screwdown issue. It has been fixed and is in excellent condition.

This is the highly anticipated new Orient USA #SND983 watch that is powered by a 22-jewel, Caliber F69 automatic movement. This new movement is self-winding, hand winding, and it hacks (second hand halts when you pull out the crown). In addition to the new improved movement, the new Orient watch has an improved uni-directional bezel with 120 clicks, and it has a new case design (gone is the quick day pusher at 2:00) for a trimmer, more simplified look. The day and date window is the same, but you adjust both via the screw-down crown. The case size comes in at 41.5mm in diameter and it's about 13mm thick. As always, you get an excellent stainless steel bracelet with a smooth operating push-button deployant clasp (a hallmark of Orient watches).

The original and #SND983 was an all-time best seller for Orient. The new movement, 120-Click bezel and sapphire crystal has already made this Orient a huge success. It is a very popular watch.
