2019 : More JDM...
Continuing my Vintage Japanese Brands Collection with Orient, I have based it on my taste for Vintage Divers. In the 60s it started with the Swimmer ( not Diver yet ) and I choose this Orient Weekly Auto Swimmer 21 jewels for its WABI SABI Two Tone looks and the "swimmer" blue print on the dial.

Thank you guys for the nice words. Vintage Orient are increasing in popularity among JDM collectors but you have to select carefully the right models. The fact that after 2000 there are many production from Orient ( Seiko ) for the market creates confusion. The right spot is 60s and early 70s. For the day wheel, from memory it is only japanese on this model.

Orient Calendar Auto Swimmer
This time with the Vintage Orient Calendar Auto Swimmer. Compared to the Weekly Auto Swimmer ( 40m ), this one has a screw down crown therefore a better water resistance of 100m in blue print on the dial.
