Orient - No reserve price - World Time GMT Automatic FA05-C1 - Men - 2000-2010

Introduction

This ORIENT World Time Automatic is a distinctive Japanese mechanical wristwatch featuring an elaborate multi-layer dial, a world-city ring, a 24-hour scale, a power-reserve indicator, and a pointer-date display.

A red “GMT” marking at approximately 7 o’clock adds a strong travel-watch character, while the substantial stainless-steel case and bracelet give the watch an impressive presence on the wrist.

Historical & Collector Value

ORIENT is a respected Japanese watchmaker known for producing reliable mechanical watches and distinctive in-house movements. The brand’s World Time models are particularly appealing to collectors because they combine practical travel-oriented indications with complex and visually expressive dial designs.

The FA05-C1 is more unusual than a conventional three-hand automatic watch. Its world-city ring, GMT reference marking, 24-hour scale, power-reserve indicator, pointer date, and exhibition case back create a highly technical appearance that will appeal to collectors of feature-rich Japanese mechanical watches.
