Pharmo 33 Posted May 30, 2014 Great looker and looks to gave AAA build quality. Are they part of Seiko? It has been a subsidiary of the Seiko Corporation since 2001 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Seiko in 2009. Orient is the largest producer of mechanical watches in Japan.

LightGeek 25 Posted May 30, 2014 My only two niggles are the glossy dial face, wish it was matte, and the hour/second hands a tiny bit longer to reach the hash marks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
