New Ladies' Mechanical Watches Added to Orient's Contemporary Collection

Orient has added a new model to its collection of contemporary automatic watches for women, with five references included.

The new model design features a clean, elegant dial, set in a 32mm wide stainless steel case. All references feature 8 rhinestones used as hour markers, a nicely rounded date window at 6, and a steel bracelet. The five references differ mainly in the dial color:

·         RA-NR2006A has a MOP (Mother-of-Pearl) with a gold-colored bezel

·         RA-NR2007A also has a MOP dial, and the bezel is steel.

·         RA-NR2008B has a black dial.

·         RA-NR2009S has a white dial.

·         RA-NR2010P has a pink dial.

The new model uses Orient's caliber 55744, a small mechanical movement made to fit inside the company's smaller watches. This caliber features both automatic and hand-winding up to a power reserve of 40 hours, with stated accuracy of +40/-30 seconds per day.

The front crystal is sapphire, the exhibition case-back is mineral, and the watch is rated to 50m (5 bar) water resistance.

Orient did not mention prices, and it will probably be a few weeks before these watches become available in stores, but they are likely to be around 300 USD – similar or a little higher than previous releases in the ladies' contemporary collection.
