★★★★★ Simple and liked

The first mechanical watch. I thought it would be difficult to use the mechanical type, but since it is self-winding, it can be used like a quartz watch. The front side has a simple design and the back side is a skeleton. The day difference is about +15 to +10 seconds, so it's not too much to worry about. It only needs to be adjusted once a week. I think it is a better watch than the price you want to use for a long time. However, the surface of the board is slightly larger than that of old watches, so it may feel a little rough for people with thin arms.

シンプルで気に入った
初めての機械式時計。機械式は使いづらいのかと思っていましたが、自動巻きのためクオーツ時計と同じような感覚で使用できます。表の盤面はシンプルなデザイン、裏はスケルトンになっていてお洒落で気に入りました。日差も+15～+10秒程度なのであまり気にする程ではありません。一週間に一度の調整で済みます。永く使いたい値段以上にいい時計だと思います。ただ、盤面が昔の時計よりチョット大きいので細腕の人には少しゴツく感じるかも

★★★★★ A watch that heals your eyes and heart

Translated by Google A watch that heals your eyes and heart
The retro design is a nice touch. It has a power reserve, a hack function, can be wound manually, and is water resistant to 5 atmospheres. The hour and minute hands are polished and half-finished in satin, and the satin part looks whitish, so it has excellent visibility. Since the windshield is box-shaped and raised, it takes a little care to handle, but when you change the angle and look at the dial, the hands and indexes look distorted, which is interesting. For accuracy, it is +5 seconds / day for flat placement. I think he is an excellent person. In the photo, the logo of the rotor part looks black, but the real thing is gold and it looks more gorgeous than the white model. Orient Star is a brand that has been in business since its establishment in 1951, and it is highly reliable, and tradition and technology can be felt in this model. I decided to buy white as well, as the design and size are all my personal preference. This is also my favorite. I want to use it for a long time.

目と心が癒される時計
レトロ感に満ちたデザインがいい感じです。パワーリザーブ、ハック機能を備え、手巻きも出来、５気圧防水と性能は十分です。時針・分針はポリッシュ、サテンの半々仕上げで、サテン部が白っぽく見えるので視認性抜群です。風防はボックス型で盛り上がている為、取り扱いには少々気を使いますが、角度を変えて文字盤を見ると針やインデックスが歪んで見えて面白いです。精度の方は平置きで＋５秒/日位です。優秀な方でしょう。写真ではローター部のロゴが黒っぽく見えますが、実物はゴールドで白モデルよりも一層華やかに見えます。オリエントスターは１９５１年創業当時から続くブランドで、信頼性も高く、伝統と技術がこのモデルには感じ取れます。デザイン、サイズ等全てが自分好みなので思い切って白も購入してしまいました。こちらも最高にお気に入りです。大事に末永く愛用いたいです。

Translated by Google It is not as good as luxury goods. But beautiful and easy to use
The two-tone matte and mirror-finished needles are beautiful, and you can't get tired of seeing the texture of the board. The feel of turning the crown is comfortable, and the power reservoir is easy to understand and convenient. Comfort and visibility are perfect. Another point is that the finish of the internal mechanism that can be seen from the back side is not good, and when you pay attention to the board surface, you can see slight burrs and uneven surface. However, it would be great if I could buy a domestic mechanical watch of this quality at this price.

高級品には及ばない。でも美しくて使いやすい
マットと鏡面のツートンに加工された針が美しく、盤面の質感も見ていて飽きない。竜頭を回す感触は心地よく、パワーリザーバーもわかりやすく便利。付け心地・視認性は申し分ない。もうひと声、というところは、裏側から見える内部機構の仕上げがイマイチなところ、盤面上に目を凝らすと僅かなバリ・表面の不均一が確認できたところ。とはいえ、この価格でこの品質の国産機械式腕時計が買えると思えば素晴らしいと思う。

★★★★★ Watch you want to wear everyday
Date posted : Wednesday, Jun 19 2019


Translated by Google Watch you want to wear everyday
If you look at the pictures on the HP of the Orient Watch (as the name of the series), you can feel the classic atmosphere. However, even if you feel that atmosphere is good, you may wonder, "Do you choose your clothes or suit your younger self?" However, in addition to formal clothes such as suits, even casual clothes do not float and the compatibility is wide. In addition, although the windshield is a box type, it does not look old-fashioned, and the case and belt made of stainless steel (SS) have a hairline, so a young person will not feel uncomfortable. Of course, the classic atmosphere also suits the elderly. (Each part) ・ ・ ・ Standard design with black dial, silver index, and date display at 3 o'clock, but the power indicator at 12 o'clock has an accent. You can feel the joy of using a clock more). Also, since the Lumi Bright is not attached, the watch face is unified in silver and black, so you can feel calm. The needle is divided in half vertically into a polished surface and a matte surface, and the matte surface improves the visibility of the index and when it is covered and in low light. When exposed to light, you can see a matte black cylinder dial that bulges like a dome. ... It is a fun and characteristic of the box type that the dial appears distorted by the bulge of the windshield when viewed from the side. Of course, there is no problem in practical use because the dial does not distort when viewed from the front.・ ・ ・ Because the hairline processing is applied to the belt after SS shaving, it has an appropriate high class feeling and scratches are not noticeable. The buckle is also carefully made and not cheap. The accuracy of the movement was ± 5 seconds per day for a few days after I bought it, but after a week or so I've been accustomed to it. It is possible that this was purchased at the official online shop, or the hit individual might have been obtained, but it is at a practically sufficient level. If you don't get a good accuracy after about a week of purchase, it is better to ask the head office for maintenance, such as through the purchase store. This is because it is conceivable that the lost item was hit or that it was managed in a place unsuitable for storage. (Summary) It has a calm design, but the box type windshield and the power indicator are accents. In addition, it is a watch that is highly recommended because it is carefully made as a whole and you can afford a fixed price of 52500 yen. (Snake) The idea of `` I want to convey the warmth, beauty, and fun of a mechanical watch '' of the Orient watch seems to be reflected in the parts that are relatively affordable, carefully made, and designed to be enjoyable to use. It feels like. And I feel grateful to have a company that provides watches like that and teaches me how fun to use mechanical watches. The price of this watch will exceed the price of this watch for several times, but I want to continue to use it and keep using it with great care until it breaks. It's been about 3 months since I bought it (using it for about 3 months), but I always wear it when I go out. The belt has been scratched, but thanks to the hairline processing it is not a concern. The accuracy is -3 seconds per day when worn on the wrist, but in daily life there is no concern about a deviation of about 3 to 10 seconds, so there is no problem even if you do not adjust the time for 2 to 3 days (act of adjusting the time But it's fun to become a habit). The best thing I've used is that it has a power indicator. When I suddenly looked on the train in the morning, I found that the mainspring unwound during the night was rolling up, and I was somehow happy. It's troublesome to be aware of a watch that doesn't have an automatic winding when we know such fun. It's a watch that I'm happy to buy, whether it's a rabbit or a corner.

毎日身に着けていたい時計
オリエント時計のHPで写真を見ると（シリーズの名前通り）クラシックな雰囲気が感じられる。しかし、そういった雰囲気を好ましく感じても　「服装を選ばないだろうか、若い自分にも合うだろうか」　と考えてしまうかもしれない。しかし、スーツ等のフォーマルな服装はもちろん、少しカジュアルな服装であっても浮くことはなく相性の幅は広い。又、風防はボックス型であるものの古めかしい感じはせず、ステインレススチール(SS)製のケースとベルトはヘアラインが施してあるので若い人が着けても違和感は無い。もちろんクラシックな雰囲気は年配の方にも似合う。(各部)・・・ブラックの文字盤にシルバーのインデックス、3時位置に日付表示というスタンダードなデザインだが12時の位置にあるパワーインジゲーターがアクセントを利かせている（このインジゲーターがあることで機械式時計を使う楽しさをより感じることが出来る）。 又、ルミブライトが付いていないことで時計の顔がシルバーとブラックに統一され、落ち着きが感じられる。針はポリッシュされた面とマット調な面に縦半分で分かれており、マットな面があることでインデックスと被った際の視認性と微光下での視認性が良くなっている。光に当てるとドーム状に膨らんだ、マットブラック調のボンべ文字盤が確認出来る。・・・横から覗いた際に風防の膨らみによって文字盤が歪んで見えるのはボックス型の楽しみ、特徴である。もちろん正面から見た際に文字盤が歪むことはないので実用面で問題は無い。・・・ベルトはSS削りだしにヘアライン加工が施してあるので適度な高級感があり、傷も目立ちにくい。そしてバックルも丁寧な作りで安っぽさは無い。・・・ムーブメントの精度は買ってから数日は日差±5秒ほどだったが一週間程経つと慣らしが済んだのか平置きで日差±1秒に落ち着いた。これは公式のオンラインショップで購入したことや当たり個体が手に入った可能性も考えられるが、十分実用のレベルである。もし購入から一週間程経っても良い精度が出ない場合は、購入店を通す等して本社にメンテナンスをお願いすると良いと思う。ハズレの個体に当たったことや保管に適さない場所で管理されていたことが考えられるからだ。(まとめ)落ち着きのあるデザインであるがボックス型風防とパワーインジゲーターがアクセントとなっている。又、全体として丁寧に作られており定価52500円を出しても惜しくない、大変おすすめのできる時計である。(蛇足)オリエント時計の「機械式時計のぬくもり、美しさ、おもしろさを伝えたい」という考えは、比較的手の届き易い価格・丁寧な作り・使っていて楽しめるデザインといった部分に表れているように感じられる。そしてその様に時計を提供し、機械式時計を使う楽しさを教えてくれる会社があることは有難いことだと感じている。何回かのOH代でこの時計の定価を超えてしまうが、OHを続けて、壊れるまで大切に、愛着を持って使っていきたいと考えている。(約3ヶ月間使用して)購入して約3ヶ月が経ったが、外に出かける日は必ず身に着けている。ベルトには擦れ傷が付いてしまったがヘアライン加工のおかげで気になることはない。精度は腕に着けた状態で日差−3秒だが、日常生活において3〜10秒程度のずれは気にならず、2〜3日時刻を合わせなくても困ることはない(時刻を合わせる行為も習慣となると楽しいものであるが)。使用していて一番良いと感じたのはパワーインジゲーターが付いていることである。朝の電車の中でふと見ると、夜の間にほどけたぜんまいが巻き上がっていることが分かり何となく嬉しくなってしまう。こういった楽しみを知ってしまうと、自動巻きの付いていない時計も気になってしまうのは困ったことである。兎にも角にも、購入して良かったと心から思える時計である。(2013.2.26 投稿)(13.3.18 修正)(13.5.26 追記・修正)(13.5.30 修正)(13.6.12 修正)

★★★★★ Beautiful clock

Translated by Google Beautiful clock
When I bought the silver dial, I liked it very much, so I bought an additional black dial. I almost always change the belt to an after-sales product after purchase, but the belt of this model fits the head very well and I decided to use it as it is. It's a very balanced and beautiful watch. Postscript If you change the belt, it is a classic and good atmosphere.

綺麗な時計
シルバー文字板を購入したところとても気に入ったので、黒文字板を追加購入。ベルトは必ずと言っていいほど購入後にアフター品に変えるのですが、このモデルのベルトはヘッドと凄く合っており、このまま使う事にしました。とてもバランスが取れており、綺麗な時計です。追記ベルト替えたらクラシックで良い雰囲気です。
