I posted a couple of new Orient watches recently and the 200m diver style watch seems to be the most popular among them. Having enjoyed the watch over the last few days, I now take a look at one of the new dress watches.
The watch I am looking at this time comes from the Classic Automatic line and is an international model.
Here’s a quick photo review of the watch. Three most salient features of this watch if you ask me are: power reserve, sapphire crystal and textured dial.
Model# CFD0F002B
Here’s a closer look at the dial. Besides the texture, I also like the shape of the hour marker. The symbol above the 6 o’clock marker means “Sapphire crystal”.

Here’s a caseback shot.

The model comes with leather strap and a signed deployant buckle.

Here are all the colour variants seen on Orient’s website.

Does this movement hack or handwind?
No, movement does not hack or handwind.

Hi Yeoman!
I’ve just received this clock today and I like it very much. The only thing that worries me is the automatic mechanism: its very loud! Have you noticed this behaviour in any other 46N Orient movements?
Thanks a lot for your reviews!

I notice that the movement of the rotor is louder than other watches. Don’t worry, your watch should be fine.
