Basic Info Listing code : N19VZ8 Brand : Orient Movement : Automatic Case material : Steel Bracelet material : Steel Year of production : 1964 (Approximation) Condition : Used (Good) Scope of delivery : No original box, no original papers Gender : Men's watch/Unisex Location : United States of America, Virginia, Falls Church Price : 2,000 [Negotiable Availability : Item is in stock Caliber Movement : Automatic Case Case material : Steel Case diameter : 40 mm Dial : Black Bracelet/strap Bracelet material : Steel Bracelet color : Steel FS one of Orient’s early dive watches (40mm) from the ‘60s. This is a solid, all stainless dive watch with a rotating world-time bezel, and an amazing glossy dial with gilt printing and interesting trapezoidal lume plots. The case has chunky tapered lugs with prominent chamfers. It is powered by a 21j in-house Orient cal 670 movement. This appears to be all original, including the crown, gently domed acrylic crystal, and signature two-toned lume on hands and dial. The watch shows minor wear, but is in excellent condition, with a gorgeous dial and sharp case. There are some tool marks on the back and a few minor marks on the bezel, but overall it's a clean and beautiful example. It will come with a nice stainless Orient bracelet that complements the watch, but is more recent in my opinion. The movement is keeping time and the date turns over properly; I have no service history on the watch. Cool article about this watch on Fratellowatches that you can search online
