Orient Men's 'Sun and Moon Version 3' Japanese Automatic/Hand-Winding Watch with Sapphire Crystal

Product Information

All of the elements in the dial are reminiscent of the parts of the Sun and Moon Version 1. From having baton-style hour-markers and dauphine-style hands to the square-shaped date indication, anyone could easily mistake this piece for its predecessor. However, the stunning appearance of the sun and moon complication, as well as the day display, are what makes this watch a true collectible especially for those who are fond of pieces that do not go overboard. Aside from the fact that spacings are really emphasized to create a timeless and minimalist look, the timepiece in question has become smaller, with an exact case size of 41.5mm and a strap size of 20mm. This is good since both changes make the face of the watch look less cluttered and disorganized. All in all, the Orient Sun and Moon Ref. FET0P003B is the rightful choice for lovers of both retro and minimalist trends. Its affordable price makes it easier for you to appreciate how Japanese mastery works as well as the watch’s awe-inspiring features. 2. Orient Sun and Moon Ref. FET0T001W0

Make sure you know what the dial looks like before you buy – the product photos can’t capture the true beauty of these watches. In-House Movement You can replace the strap with another one for a more formal look, or to dress it down for a jeans and shirt outfit. Slightly-Domed Sapphire Crystal Overall, we can still say that this is a simple watch. Its case design is nothing out of the ordinary and just what you would expect from a dress watch. No superfluous design elements, and just pure simplicity.All these features add depth and detail to the dial, making it much more interesting and eye-catching than conventional dress watches. ➤ Strap A big part of the appeal of Orient's watches to me is that they produce all of their movements in-house; entry-level Swiss watches can't say that. With that said, if you buy a watch with an ETA movement you can be pretty sure it will run reliably and be easy to service.

With that said, in this article, we are looking closer at the Orient Sun and Moon v3 FAK00004B. Orient Sun and Moon v3 FAK00004B review The Orient Sun and Moon v3 stands out clearly for its classic design that is out of the ordinary, but it also features high-quality components. Let’s break it down: ➤ Case and Glass This decorative detail, which displays the sun during the day and the moon during the night, has captivated many watchmakers, who have incorporated this element into their collections.

Fair Prices

My recommendation is the Sun and Moon v3 in reflective blue. This is because it’s going to be the cheapest (since it’s one generation older) while getting the latest movement. Additionally, you get the beautiful blue dial that contrasts really nicely with the sun face, and shines like crazy in the real sun. In summary, the Orient Sun and Moon v3 is an excellent choice for those looking for an elegant and distinctive dress watch. I've got the rose gold version, with the brown strap and "champagne"/cream-colored dial (i.e. off-white). Note that the different dial colors have different textures -- this one has more detail than some of the other colors.

Popular for all the great reasons, the Orient Sun and Moon Version 4 attests to how the company continues to enhance and beautify their releases and strive for glory despite being in the field for decades already. Everything about the watches under this recent series looks identical to Version 3, especially in terms of the sub-dial placements. But the major distinguishing factor can be found on the dial, specifically on the indexes. Deviating from the previous baton and Roman numeral appearance, the watches under this new series are in Arabic numeral style. Not to mention, the texts are humongous enough, which fits the size of the case perfectly. Perfect for men who are always on the go, all the Version 4 models embody a mixture of professional and sporty aesthetics despite being regarded as a dress watch. I'll break this review into visual/qualitative aspects of the watch, and a short discussion of the watch's movement.

Specifically, this article will shine the spotlight on the Orient Sun and Moon, particularly its history, what it has to offer, as well as its amazing specifications.

Up Close with the Orient Sun and Moon As its name suggests, the Orient Sun and Moon Open Heart let potential wearers see the movement of the watch without exposing all its parts. Released in 2018, this is a must-have piece for those who want their collection of dress watches to be distinct and out of the usual. Since it took inspiration from the Open Heart watches from the brand, you can expect that the Sun and Moon Open Heart models also exhibit the same charms that the first one have in their arsenals.Sitting on top of the case, we have a domed sapphire crystal. The water-resistances a mere 50M, which essentially just means it can handle water-splashes. But the water-resistance is not really a big deal on these types of watches anyways. All in all, a nice in-house automatic movement inside a watch of this price range is a great value proposition from Orient. Strap This is probably one of the best looking watches at this price and value at this time. I actually got it for two fifty but at any price below five hundred this is a excellent deal.
