Watch Mechanical Classic Watch 38.4mm RA-AP0106S

The Watch

Founded in 1950, Orient is a Japanese brand that crafts mechanical timepieces. Its expertise is the result of decades of innovation and development, delivering unmatched precision and reliability. Its models represent both a technical achievement and a personal expression of style and taste, designed to meet the needs of every generation without compromising on quality or appearance. Among them, we present the Mechanical Classic Watch 38.4mm RA-AP0106S - a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. It features a round case in high-quality stainless steel, ensuring lasting durability. Its polished and brushed finishes represent the perfect union of watchmaking artistry and aesthetics. The case is fully coated in a yellow gold finish, giving it the look of a truly sophisticated watch. With a diameter of 38.40 mm, the case offers a balanced presence on the wrist for most watch enthusiasts. Likewise, its 44 mm lug-to-lug length and slender curved lugs ensure a perfect drape and optimal comfort. On top sits a domed mineral crystal that reinforces the vintage appeal, a theme continued through the polished, gold-toned crown. Its ridged profile provides a confident grip when adjusting the hours, minutes, and date. The whole is paired with a snap-on caseback featuring a transparent mineral crystal window for a beautiful view of the movement. It's worth noting that this polished silver caseback guarantees 3 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

Elegant and refined, the dial brings together artisanal craftsmanship, elegant design, and exceptional functionality. It features a silver-toned hue with a matte finish, ensuring a subtle, polished contrast that makes for a pleasant reading experience. It's accented by Roman numeral indices in yellow gold, echoing the Dauphine hour and minute hands as well as the small hand for the small seconds. This complication is displayed at 6 o'clock on a clean sub-dial with a black rim that harmonizes with the overall design. At 3 o'clock, the date window replaces the index, featuring a minimalist frame and a white background for clear legibility. All of these elements are encircled by two minute tracks - a classic one along the outer edge and a more detailed inner one. The finishing touch is the brand's signature at 12 o'clock, followed by the "Automatic" inscription rendered in an elegant cursive typeface.

The Movement

This model is powered by a Japanese-made automatic movement that delivers durability and performance. Specifically, it's the F6222 caliber, offering a power reserve of 40 hours and operating with a deviation of +25/-15 seconds per day. It features 24 jewels and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. This reliable movement provides precise analog display of hours and minutes, along with a small seconds complication and a date function.

The Strap

Impeccably crafted and supremely comfortable, the strap that accompanies this watch is made from brown calfskin leather. It features contrast stitching that adds a refined touch, and together with its gold-toned pin buckle, contributes to the overall beauty of the piece. A pleasure to wear, it adapts effortlessly to any style, from sharp and elegant to relaxed and casual.

Water Resistance

This timepiece offers a water resistance of 3 ATM, or 30 meters. It's not designed to accompany you on aquatic adventures - so no showering, bathing, swimming, or diving with it on. You can, however, keep it on to wash your hands or handle light household tasks requiring minimal water contact.
