Case and Crystal The substantial 43mm stainless steel case features a distinct coin-edge fixed outer bezel that adds excellent visual texture to the watch's profile.

The screw-down caseback displays the classic Orient marlin motif and deep factory engravings, showing only light surface scratches consistent with careful, honest wear. The flat crystal is clear and well-preserved, offering an unobstructed view of the dial without any significant scuffs or edge chips. Movement Ticking inside is Orient's reliable 21-jewel automatic caliber, a robust workhorse known for its longevity and practical day-date functionality.
