Orient's "Sports Collection" flagship model "M-FORCE" is back

Orient's sports watch "M-FORCE," the first model of which was released in 1997, is being revived with a new look. The first release is a diver's watch that complies with ISO standards. There will be a total of five models, including four regular models and a limited edition model commemorating Orient's 70th anniversary.

What is Orient's adventure watch "M-FORCE"?

M-FORCE is a mechanical watch that exudes strength and has released numerous highly practical models. The series has been expanded from the first generation released from 1997 to 2002 to the second generation released from 2011 to 2015, and many of the models have been loved by fans both in Japan and overseas.

　Both the first and second generation models feature a striking design that meets the requirements of a full-fledged diver's watch, including visibility, shock absorption, water resistance, and corrosion resistance.

　The first release of the revived third-generation M-FORCE is a diver's watch with 200m air water resistance, conforming to ISO standards. Air water resistance refers to the ability to withstand shallow diving to a depth of at least 100m, using compressed air as the breathing medium. Also noteworthy are the in-house caliber F6727, which has been adapted to meet ISO diver standards, and the newly introduced design.

A protective shield surrounds the large crown

　The first thing that catches your eye is the protective shield surrounding the large crown. It is attached to protect the crown and unidirectional rotating bezel from impacts and has a strong presence. The numbers engraved on the unidirectional rotating bezel, which matches the color of the protective shield, use a font that matches the newly introduced M-FORCE logo.

　All indexes are large and coated with luminous light to ensure high visibility. The crystal is made of sapphire crystal with an AR coating to reduce glare. The metal bracelet has also been redesigned, with thicker lugs and seamlessly connected end pieces that enhance the sense of unity with the case. The shorter link pitch also provides a comfortable fit. The black and red dial models come with a three-fold stainless steel bracelet with a double push-button lock, while the all-black, green, and gold gradient dial models come with a silicone bracelet with a buckle.
