Meet Orient’s very first automatic diver, The Calendar Auto Orient. An absolute iconic series produced between 1963 and 1968 in several fascinating variations. Under the hood, these watches packed the powerhouse Caliber 670, a workhorse movement available in both 19 and 21 jewel versions.
What makes this series so compelling? The sheer variety. Dial options ranged from sleek silver to bold black, paired with either flat or numeral indexes. Hands? Take your pick: Arrow or lollipop. Even the cases and bezels weren’t uniform, making each piece feel like its own distinct personality.
Now, here’s where it gets even better. We’re offering an extraordinary, never-worn example with an originally silver dial that has gracefully aged into a warm golden hue. Arrow hands, 6-9-12 black indexes with luminous accents, and a perfectly matched black bidirectional bezel make this piece the ultimate tool watch. And the bracelet? A showstopper—aggressively styled with pointed links that somehow manage to be both bold and elegant.
Au menu du jour: Immaculate case, untouched bracelet, original blue caseback sticker, and even the original price tag and honestly this is as close as it gets to time traveling back to the '60s. During that era, Orient was still a small brand producing watches in limited quantities, which makes finding one in pristine condition today a true collector’s triumph.
