Introducing a limited edition blue dial model from the vintage-inspired Orient Mako

Orient has added a new limited edition model to its "Orient Mako" series, which is characterized by a taste that retains the atmosphere of vintage watches. This model, which features an attractive blue-colored gradation dial and a gold-colored bezel and hands as a striking accent, will be limited to 600 pieces in Japan and will go on sale from Thursday, March 10, 2022.

A reliable diver's watch for everyday use

　Among Orient's lineup, the most popular is the diver's model from the Sports Collection. This is a masterpiece that has built a lineage for over 50 years since its birth in the 1960s, and has been affectionately known as the "Orient Mako." The "Mako" in the model name refers to the blue shark.

　It features a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water resistance of 20 bar, and stable high precision and reliability. It also features the Orient automatic movement Cal. F6922, while retaining the basics, giving it a casual impression that allows you to enjoy a vintage feel.

　The new sports collection features a gradient color dial, one of Orient's signature features, and features a vintage feel with gold colored bezel, hands, and indexes on the dial. The attractive coloring makes it suitable not only for sports and outdoor activities, but also for everyday use in town, making it a fashionable item.

　The aluminum plate on the top of the bezel is divided into blue and black at the 15-minute mark, matching the dial, which also features a black-to-blue gradient. The gold-colored hands add an accent to the subdued color scheme, creating a special feel unique to this limited edition model. The beige luminous light applied to the hands and indexes gives the appearance of aging over many years, and combined with the gradient color, creates a striking vintage look.
