ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH
WORLD TIMER ORIENT CRYSTAL AUTOMATIC REF MY11136
What a fabulous watch , nearly large enough to be a clock. 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 sweeping action. This is a new old stock watch in mint condition and a World Timer with an inner rotating bezel marked with cities around the world . The huge dial is very handsome in white with Arabic numeral hour markers ( includes 24 hour markers ) , chrome hands and quick set day / date window is at 3. Capping this is a mineral glass crystal . On the case there is a button at 2 which is pressed to set the day , a crown at 3 which sets the date and time as normal and finally a crown at 4 which rotates the inner bezel . The stainless steel case is just colossal and suitably fitted on a solid link bracelet of similar proportion. Signed on the dial , back cover , movement and buckle . Fits up to a huge 8" wrist. 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.
