Seiko (watches) do not own Orient. Orient are owned by the Seiko-Epson Corporation, who own Seiko watches, the printer company Epsom, and Orient among other companies. It would be more accurate to say Orient are owned by/part of the same company as Seiko. Orient are also selling movements to microbrands as 'Epson' movements

“The logo looks like a cigarette packet” had me rolling 😂 and reminded me of mom’s cheap 1980’s off-brand smokes.

I have 4 Orients.
Epic quality, attention to detail & they're cheap as chips.
I struggle looking at other brands now as they just can't compete with the Japanese quality.
I love them.

Orient is killing it at the affordable level. I personally have two Kamasu’s, two baby tritons, a mako2, and a bambino!!! :)

[bogrot]

That Kamasu is a banger! Gorgeous dial. I own Four Orient's. The Kanno is another winner from Orient. They definitely are the new Seiko in my books

[fraisernash]

You can't go wrong with the kamasu, together with the Kano and the Mako XL, love them all, great review

[brianmsahin]

Thanks Russell, this is a much needed video! Too many YouTubers ignore Orient. I already have my 3 watch collection consisting of older classics. The amazing orange bezel 44.5mm Mako XL for my big wrist, a Japanese domestic market Chronograph, can't remember the model number and finally a beautiful Tristar dress watch with an ocean blue dial that is now no longer available on the interwebs!! I do like your list too by the way. A very solid trio!

[TheDeadlyTikka]

Worth also checking out the Bambino, I personally love the cream dial with Roman Numerals. The red dial Kamasu would be my go to diver as well.

[simonyallop]

I managed to get a 1970's king diver and it keeps almost perfect time which is a testament to orient for an almost 50y old watch .

[bandwagon]

Thanks for bringing up the Star. Beautiful piece that's not quite Presage level but still a looker. Love that power reserve complication.

[MirrlyonTime]

Great three madman, I have a bambino iv and it would have been on my list for sure it’s a beautiful dress piece with lots of variations to it. Smoke em if you got em lol

[daley]

I have the Red Kamasu on a jubilee and the green dress Maestro with 10atm and Sapphire on mesh .Both absolutely stunning.Just need a 3rd!

[JasonTheWatchGuy]

Love that Orient Star, they're such nice watches for the money. Also you're right, taken Seiko's spot

[spencemiller]

You asked us to look through Jomashop for a three watch collection …
1. Kamasu Automatic RA-AA0003R19B red dial. I have this one, so have to put that in there! Wears great on my 7.2” wrist. And fairly accurate at +6 secs/day. Can’t beat that for the money.
2. The Bambino is a bit predictable, but nice. Bambino Version 4 Automatic Blue Dial FAC08004D0 blue/black dial. Nice.
I was torn between a gada and a true diver in the Orient Star line. I haven’t dived / dove(?) In years, but I have G-Shocks that can get wet, so I’d go with the dressier gada.
3. Orient Star Automatic Blue Dial RE-AU0005L00B without the open heart.

[xniorvox]

I have the Orient RA-AA0C06E19B, got it for like 120 EUR and I love this thing. Green and gold do the job, there's a day & date complication, a see-through case and a lovely rotor. Just the leather croc strap was stiff, but I have replaced it with comfy suede NATO. And the glass is mineral, but hey, Seiko Presage costs 3 times the money and also only has a mineral. I am very happy with the watch and the deal.

[americanpaisareturns]

Alright. I’ll use your Jomashop code even though it was the Just the Watch channel that introduced me to them. 😂 Gonna get me a Victorinox

[David-nxvm]

I have a burgundy-dial Kamasu — it punches way above its weight. Orient is not a mall watch; you have to put in a little work to get one. When I see an Orient on-wrist while out and about, I know I’m in the company of an enthusiast.

[soundssimple]

Been buying Seiko since 1975. Never been disappointed with Seiko and never been tempted with an Orient. How could they be the 'new' Seiko ? Decades of catching up to do ? and have you ever seen an Orient 'mod site' or Orient 'mod market ? . Will never get close in reputation or popularity for me . Good video though, you managed to confirm my thoughts on them....

[danieldotcom]

Orients design language reminds me a lot of vintage stuff from the 70s (neo 70s pandas aside lol). the subtle glints from indicies, the shape of indicies, case design etc. and i love it because anything 70s is right up my alley. The aftermarket for divers is pretty good too, i put my green gen 2 kamasu on a miltat jubilee & i honestly haven’t taken it off since!

[adamski]

I only have one, the long since discontinued 300m Orient saturation diver. It's a very high quality piece.
