Watch Mechanical Classic Watch 38.4mm RA-AP0104S

The Watch

Since its founding in 1950, Orient has been dedicated to the production of primarily mechanical timepieces. Its models are recognized for their precision, durability, exceptional performance, and unquestionable quality. Ever in pursuit of timelessness, the Japanese brand presents the Mechanical Classic Watch RA-AP0104S - refined, bold, and elegant. It comes with a round case crafted in stainless steel, lending it elegance, durability, and robustness. Silver-toned, it is elevated by a polished finish on the surfaces and a brushed finish on the sides for a look that is both sophisticated and classic. Its vintage character is highlighted by a diameter of 38.40 mm and a domed mineral crystal. A length of 44 mm, along with slim, straight, and curved lugs, ensures a perfect wrist drop for comfortable everyday wear. The crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, is both functional and aesthetic - polished with fine knurling for easy adjustment of the hands and date. A snap-back case completes the assembly and offers a beautiful view of the movement through a transparent opening. This case back ensures a water resistance of 3 ATM.

The Dial

The dial presents a modern design that communicates the time with distinction. It features a soft, understated silver tone that delivers refined elegance and excellent legibility. Its indices are Roman numerals, also silver-toned, while the elongated dauphine hands display a sumptuous blue color that adds further prestige to the dial. For greater time precision, two railroad tracks run around the dial's perimeter - one with broader graduations, the other more detailed and accompanied by Arabic numerals. The sub-dial at 6 o'clock is a beautiful complication adding a touch of sophistication to the watch. It displays the small seconds and features black markers with a blue hand. A date window at 3 o'clock replaces the index and has a white background for clear reading. Finally, the brand authenticates its design by printing its logo and name at 12 o'clock, followed by the "Automatic" designation.

The Movement

The automatic movement powering this timepiece is Japanese-made. Specifically, it is caliber F6222, featuring 24 jewels and a power reserve of 40 hours - delivering reliable timekeeping for everyday use. Oscillating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, it has a deviation of +25/-15 seconds per day and offers analog display with two hands, a small seconds complication, and a date function.

The Bracelet

This watch is paired with a black leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching. Comfortable and versatile, it adds an elegance that is both classic and contemporary, adapting effortlessly to any style. Fitted with a pin buckle, it ensures a secure fit and a great feel on the wrist.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 30 meters - or 3 atmospheres in watchmaking terms - this watch is no swimmer. Water is its delicate movement's worst enemy, so keep it dry whenever you can. Rain or doing the dishes? No problem. But skip the shower, the bath, the pool, and definitely the deep end - this one much prefers staying high and dry.
