Dear All Sifus,

     My first watch was a battery operated Orient bought for me by my late father. At the time of my primary school about 30 years back, it was a real premium watch for me. I still keep it till today, but was badly tortured by my childhoood clumsiness. It was a very sentimental value piece to me, especially when my dad is no longer with me anymore.

     I wished to ask where will we be able to see any display on Orient watches? I am in KL and it seems like this brand not many people are willing to carry. Thx. ;)

There is an orient flagship outlet in pavilion at the Tokyo street area... I think it is still very new but only carry orient watches and clocks you should check it out

the shop is owned by the same boss(es) as S**** T***...so if you can't find the model you are looking for at ****r ***e, chances are you won't find it at Tokyo St...i know, i tried  :'(

but fate has it, my disappointment on that day led me to my fav skeleton (and my other half's too)  :thumbsup:

Go to Pavillion Top Floor. There is a newly open Japan Street. Orient boutique is there. Good luck

Visited the Orient boutique. Quite a good range of Orients. For me , Orient is along side Seiko for being an underappreciated brand.

Yes, there is.

watchnewby, please refer below one of the winding watch from orient.



Orient celebrated its 60th Anniversary on 13th July 2010 and a “60th Anniversary” limited edition watch was released to commemorate the event. There are two variants of the watch, one with stainless steel case and another one with a gold(4 micron) plated case.

This watch is powered by the Orient 48N40 hand wind movement. It comes with power reserve indicator and stop second features. The movement beats at 21,600bph.

I managed to get one of this for my friend in "ebay".

If only that one has a display back it would be perfect.
