Orient 3 Star Crystal – Automatic 21 Jewels (Japan)

This elegant Orient 3 Star Crystal with automatic movement is a classic model from the 1980s, embodying Orient 's signature combination of reliability, robustness, and understated elegance. The model originates from a time when Orient, with its in-house movements and distinctive designs, represented a strong alternative to Seiko and Citizen.

Unfortunately, with Orient (unlike Citizen and Seiko), the exact production date cannot be determined from the serial number.

The striking blue sunburst dial with gold-colored indices and hands is accentuated by the gold-framed day/date window at 3 o'clock. Above the Orient logo is the familiar triple crown emblem , which was reserved for the models in the "Three Star" series.
