Orient RA-AA0001B

Universal design, practical execution

Introduced in 2020, the watch by the Japanese manufacturer Orient is positioned as a sports model. At the same time, they are made in a steel case with a diameter of 42 mm and received a metal strap, thanks to which they look harmonious both in a business environment and in everyday wear.

The Orient RA-AA0001B dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The screw-down design of the crown will avoid both accidental rotations and problems with water ingress. The model is distinguished by high water protection of the WR200M class: it does not need to be removed from the hand during swimming and amateur diving (shallow diving).

Japanese mechanism

The watch uses a Japanese movement with 22 jewels F6922. This is a reliable mid-frequency (performs 21,600 vibrations per hour) caliber, which allows a daily error from +25 to -15 seconds, typical by the standards of mechanics. It, like most modern movements, supports automatic winding, which allows you to “twist” the crown less often. The power reserve is the standard 40 hours.

Additional features

The dial of the Orient RA-AA0001B is complemented by a double window at three o'clock, which displays the day of the month and the day of the week. For good visibility in low light conditions, the hands and hour markers are coated with a luminescent coating.

Another useful option of the model is the unidirectional rotating bezel, which can be used as a stopwatch or countdown timer.

Orient RA-AA0001B is a high-quality mechanical watch that can become a worthy (and more affordable) alternative to Swiss analogues.
