With its roots dating back to 1901, Orient Watch has specialized in the manufacture and growth of mechanical timepieces. Since 1950, Orient has been at the forefront of the production of mechanical watches in Japan. When it comes to watchmaking, Orient does not have an obscure history: Orient has been producing mechanical watches for more than 60 years. It is one of the top three watch manufacturers from Japan and produces 2 million watches per year. Frankly, it may be the biggest watch brand you’ve never heard of. All of Orient’s movements are exclusively made in Japan and no iteration in manufacturing is outsourced. The implicit value of possessing an Orient watch is that the only way to enjoy its tremendous quality is through ownership.Orient prides itself on the premise that its timepieces are a “watchmaker’s watch”-- a no frills mechanical watch that is robust and trustworthy. Our online reputation suggests that an Orient watch is reliable out of the box. This can be attributed to Orient’s undying dedication to mechanical watches. In the eye of the Quartz Revolution in the 1970s, the other top Japanese brands went on to predominantly manufacture quartz, while Orient remained focused on its mechanical movements. And while Orient does produce quartz watches, all movements are supplied by its parent company. So what’s the difference between quartz and mechanical? Despite the obvious difference in moving parts, the short answer is seen in the smooth sweeping second hand of a mechanical watch versus the choppy tick of a quartz movement.As an in-house movement producer, Orient joins a short list of watch companies that actually manufacture their movements in-house and exclusively for their own use. In the industry, it is highly uncommon that a company produces their own movements in-house, and by doing so Orient Watch can ensure that the quality of their wristwatches are held to the highest standards— Orient’s watches have often been lauded for their rich styling, dependability, and tremendous value. Orient Watch Co., Ltd.' s M-FORCE watch features a newly developed mechanical movement. It is an authentic sports watch first released in 1997. As the name "M-FORCE" (short for "mechanical force") suggests, it is a mechanical watch expressing "forcefulness" and has been widely acclaimed since its initial release. After an interval of about nine years, Orient is now releasing a new M-FORCE, as an authentic diver's watch that inherits the concept of its predecessors. The M-FORCE is an authentic diver's watch that features a smart and rugged design, water resistance to 200 meters for use in scuba diving, shock absorption enabled by a special structure, and ISO compliance. While it is an authentic diver's watch, the M-FORCE also features superb design and high functionality, making it ideal for daily use, too.

Great buy !!!
Awesome watch, this it one of the lower priced M-Force models. You get a lot of watch value with this one. I like the sapphire crystal, very small date window, good lume, large size, unique bezel, 4 o'clock crown position, upgraded Orient automatic movement with hand winding and hacking, and the 40 hour power reserve indicator. IMHO this is a rugged, nice looking sporty watch, I have a 7 inch wrist and the size is large but fine with me. Good watch for summer wear, but it won't fit under your coat or jacket in the winter. I put it on a 24mm blue nato strap and I think it looks great. My watch is losing about 10 seconds a day, which is not great but acceptable. There are a few problems, the hands look a little small, the metal bracelet is cheap, the case back is not very impressive. You can buy the Orient Saturation Diver model and get all these features upgraded if you want but it will cost you a lot more. This watch sells for a reasonable price that I feel comfortable with. Plus because of the lower cost I don't have to worry so much about damage, theft or loss like I would with an expensive watch. You can probably replace it for about half the cost many people pay for an average repair on a Swiss mechanical watch. I know this watch doesn't have the prestige and quality of a Rolex or an Omega, but it satisfies all my needs for a good looking, solid built, water resistant, shock resistant, anti magnetic, rugged diver watch. By the way it looks much better in person then the picture you see on Amazon...
