\u271a Antique and Classic Orient Automatic Watches<\/h2>\n

There are numerous antique or vintage Orient automatic watches available, as the company focuses a significant part of its production on these types of timepieces. Let’s take a look at the most popular ones.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Orient 3 Star<\/h3>\n


\nThe Orient 3 Star automatic watches are the most affordable models from the brand (and possibly in the market), but they are not of inferior quality.<\/p>\n

These watches have a vintage or classic style and come in a medium size. The case measures 39 mm, and the strap width is 22 mm, both made of stainless steel.<\/p>\n

The dial is protected by a flat mineral crystal, and inside it, there is an Orient 469 caliber with 21 jewels, providing a power reserve of 40 hours.<\/p>\n

The 469 movement is a simple but economical and reliable movement. In fact, Orient has been using it in their collections since 1970. However, it lacks hacking and manual winding, but given its affordable price, much more cannot be expected.<\/p>\n

For those who are new to the world of watches, hacking seconds allows you to stop the second hand without affecting the other hands, making it easier to set the time accurately.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, manual winding allows you to power the mechanism by rotating the crown, without the need to wear the watch on the wrist. This can be useful to keep the watch running even when it’s not being worn.<\/p>\n\n

\u27a4 Orient Charlene<\/h3>\n

\"antique<\/a>
\nThe Orient Charlene series consists of different dress watches for women, characterized mainly by their white dial with silver or gold markers and numbers, depending on the model.<\/p>\n

With a diameter of 31 mm, these watches are small and designed for women’s wrists. They are also durable, thanks to their stainless steel case with a solid screw-down case back.<\/p>\n

Internally, they are powered by an automatic Orient 55741 mechanism with 21 jewels and 40 hours of power reserve, including manual winding.<\/p>\n\n
