Despite the fact that classic watches lean more simple and plain, the Orient Explorer Automatic line still looks old. In a good way. Not in some dusty/crusty way, but instead like some sort of complicated vintage instrument that an early 20th-century mogul of industry would have worn on his wrist.
Complicated, busy, and extremely wearable.
With all the dials, numbers, and assorted
gadgets, it’s craps-table busy. But just like craps, it’s actually
pretty simple once you get used to looking at it.
Powered by an in-house Orient automatic
movement, the Explorer is able to track time in two separate time zones.
Instead of an extra GMT hand, there’s a 24-hour cut-out window between
8:30 and 10:30. The subdial at noon is the power reserve (always handy
to have a gas gauge on an automatic). The subdial at six is the date
indicator. A slide-rule rings the outside and is operated by the crown
at four.
Not a stark, flat-white face, but instead light silver with some texture
And that’s “it”. A lot going on at first
glance, and plenty for the movement to do, but it’s really quite easy to
tell the time, date, and how much power is left in reserve at a quick
glance.
44.5 mm in diameter but it wears a bit
smaller. It’s really a dress watch, despite the complicated look, and it
goes extremely well with suits of all kinds. Available in a black dial or
the silver/white dial seen here. The silver/white is really, truly
silver (instead of a paper-printer white) but it’s an extremely light
silver or grey. The texture to that silver is a welcome nice touch and
gives the face some depth.
