Orient

Orient is a Japanese watch brand that is well-known and respected for producing high-quality and affordable mechanical watches that provide excellent value for money. Orient was founded as a firm in 1950, but its history dates back to 1901 when Shogoro Yoshida created a wholesale shop called "Yoshida Watch Shop." Orient now manufactures all of its timepieces in Japan and is one of the few manufacturers in this price range that manufactures its mechanical movements in-house. The brand is also responsible for a slew of advancements and inventions.

The Orient Ray is one of the most popular Orient watches. This watch features a 41mm stainless steel case with a classic and sporty dive-inspired design. It has all of the classic design aspects you'd expect to find in a diving watch, and while it has exceptional attention to detail, it stays faithful to classic dive watch designs. Besides, Orient 2nd Gen Bambino Version 2 is another popular affordable automatic dress watch on the market. It has a sleek, elegant design, great attention to detail, solid automatic movement, and an elegant and refined look on the wrist. Overall, Orient has done an excellent job of paying close attention to every element of this watch without making it cluttered or overly busy. All of this adds up to the perfect dress watch.
