FAQs
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
While it features a robust build, please check the specific case-back depth rating. It is best to avoid submerging the watch unless you are certain the seals have been pressure-tested.
How often does it need to be serviced?
Standard mechanical maintenance is recommended every 3 to 5 years to keep the movement oils fresh and the timekeeping accurate.
Does it require batteries?
No, this is a mechanical automatic watch that powers itself using the movement of your wrist.
What does the 75th anniversary engraving mean?
This signifies that the watch is part of a special collection released to celebrate Orient's 75 years of watchmaking history, increasing its appeal to collectors.
Can the strap be replaced?
Yes, the watch features standard lug widths that allow for a variety of leather, metal, or nylon straps to be fitted.
Troubleshooting
The watch stopped running
The automatic movement requires kinetic energy from your wrist; if it has been stationary, shake the watch gently or wind the crown to build up the power reserve.
Time is running slow or fast
Small deviations are normal for mechanical watches. If the error exceeds 15-20 seconds per day, have the movement regulated by a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set your watch, pull the crown to the second click to adjust the time, ensuring the hands are moved in a clockwise direction. If your watch has stopped, gently shake it for 30 seconds or wind the crown manually if the movement supports it to initiate the power reserve.
Care instructions include:
- Avoid magnetic fields: Keep the watch away from speakers, refrigerators, and large magnets, as these can interfere with the hairspring.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth periodically to remove oils and sweat.
- Service: It is recommended to have the movement serviced by a certified watchmaker every 3 to 5 years to maintain the longevity of the lubricant and gaskets.
