A brand that stands for excellent quality coupled with a very friendly price tag. Its name: Orient.Looking for a mechanical watch for no more than a few hundred euros? Then check out these Orient collection once. You will find just about every style imaginable at great prices. For those who have a bit more to spend and love visible mechanics, Orient Star is an interesting collection. Indeed, a number of models were recently added to the popular Mechanical Moon Phase Classic Collection, equipped with mechanical moon phase and one of the brand's most iconic designs.
The models have a new, made in-house movement with a 50-hour power reserve based on calibre 46-F7, an evolution of the calibre 46 series launched back in 1971. The new moon phase watches have a half-skeleton diaphragm at 9 o'clock, a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock and a moon phase with date display at 6 o'clock. The detailed finish and decorated movement can be admired through the sapphire-glass case back.
Prices for the mechanical models are from approx. € 250,00 (for the beloved Bambino) to approx. € 1.500,00 (for the Mechanical Moon Phase Classic Collection). By the way, there is already an Orient from € 159,00 Check this webshop
