Any chance it has an Orient movement inside? I noticed the day wheel looks similar to others I've seen from Orient as well as the pusher at 2 oclock.
Vintage Ricoh Arrival
This is one of those pleasant surprises from f*bay. You know, those impulse buys that you’re not quite sure what you’ll be getting and if it even ticks? I laid out a whopping $17.49 including shipping for this nifty early ‘70s chunky Ricoh automatic. All stainless steel case, stunning blue half gradient dial, manual winds and keeps pretty decent time. I have tweaked the regulation and have it to about one minute per day.
The dial is absolutely beautiful and really makes this watch pop. It came on a brand new plastic/vinyl dark blue croc look band (!) that will remain on the watch at least for awhile.
Enjoy the pics and thanks for looking.
Cheers,

But the actual funny thing is, that I opened the back of this likely Chinese watch I bought 5 years ago:
