The watch that started it all for me. I am going camping for a week, starting tomorrow, and it is my Seiko 5’s that always go with me. That is why this, is my watch of the day.

Swapped out the stock leather band on my Bambino for a beads of rice bracelet. It's amazing what effect a band has on the watch!

This is a rare quartz-powered variant of Orient's aviation line, distinguishing itself from their typical automatic movements by utilizing multi-dial complications rather than windowed layouts. It was produced between 2012 and 2016 and for the European and Asian regional markets (including parts of Eastern Europe and the Middle East). I needed something gold to match my belt buckle which made this, my watch of the day! Specifications: Core Movement & Functionality Movement Type: Japanese Quartz Caliber Family: Orient In-House Caliber UU09 (Multi-Drive system) Complication Sub-dials: - Top Sub-dial: Pointer date pointer dial (numbered 1 through 31) - Bottom Sub-dial: Synchronized 24-hour tracking hand - Left Side Arc: Sweeping retrograde-style day-of-the-week hand (Mon–Sun) - Calculated Bezel: Fully operational E6B logarithmic inner slide-rule ring Case Diameter: 44 mm (excluding the crown guards) Case Thickness: Approximately 11 mm Lug Width: 22 mm

Sometimes also referred to as a Red Panda (though the dial is orange) this was my first ever Chronograph watch and honestly I bought it for the dial color. It has a pretty typical chronograph layout, an alarm that I can’t hear due to poor hearing (though people around me can hear it) and the outer bezel ring is a tachymeter used to measure speed over a fixed distance. The alarm can also be used as a GMT sub-dial. It has been a while since I have worn it, but as I needed something to fit under my flannel shirt cuff, it became my watch of the day!

This was my first “dress” watch. I was looking for a classical automatic with a clean simple dial and this one immediately got my attention. I had never heard of Orient but on-line research revealed a solid performer that might even be a bit under appreciated. With its vintage-style domed mineral crystal, the watch has just the right look to me, making it my watch of the day!
