Orient's AC0F models have been around since 2019. A few variations were
added in later years, but the original design – known in some markets as the
"Symphony III" and part of the brand's contemporary collection – remained largely unchanged. This means sticking with classic dress-watch color
schemes, like black, blue, and white dials, with gold-colored case versions as
well.
Now, Orient introduces a collection of five new AC0F references,
exclusive to the European market. Not surprisingly, these come in a selection
of trendy dial colors, suitable to consumer preferences in 2025.
The new references include: RA-AC0F13E (Green dial), RA-AC0F14L (Blue),
RA-AC0F15R (Red), RA-AC0F16S (Ivory), and RA-AC0F17Y (Brown).
The technical specifications are the same as older references of this
model. The watch features Orient's automatic caliber F6722, which displays the time and date, and also offers hand-winding and second-hand hacking capabilities.
The case is 41.6mm wide, 11.7mm thick, and 49mm lug to lug. Lug width is
22mm. The watches offer 50m of water resistance, feature mineral glass, and
come with a brown leather strap – for all dial colors.
The price is listed as 259.99 GBP (let's call it 260 shall we).
Having seen these in person, I can testify that, as with most Orient watches, the colors are really deep and vibrant, and the watches are lovely – a decent alternative to the Bambino for anyone looking for something a bit sharper and less "classic".
