ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH
ORIENT SK CRYSTAL AUTOMATIC REF AG1049

This is a brand new watch that was meant for sale in the 1970s but has been unworn and stored . It even has its original swing tag . Features the looks of a divers watch with its inner rotating bezel but it is only lightly water resistant and the rotating divers bezel is not meant for serious diving use . Orient are affiliated with Seiko and used there raw movement which they adapted for there own watches. Inside this model is a 21 jewelled automatic movement that is silky smooth and makes the second hand move with a near sweeping action. The dial is sunk deep into the case and fabulous in ruby red , furnished with gold stud hour batons and quick set day/date window at 3 .
On the case the top button is pressed to set the day , the crown in the middle sets the date and time as normal and finally the bottom crown rotates the inner bezel . The watch case is just colossal and fully machined from stainless steel . Comes fitted on its original bracelet with signed buckle and fits up to a 7 3/4" wrist. The movement is running smoothly and holding time . One of the nicest orient models I have ever seen and shout out " look at me " with its incredible size and colour. A real mans watch with real presence and a certain investment.

Watch dimensions
Top case to bottom 47mm, side to side (without crown) 42mm, thickness (crystal to back cover) 14mm with a 36mm diameter crystal.
