Orient Men's 'Ray II Rubber' Japanese Automatic Stainless Steel Diving Watch

The classic Orient diver has been upgraded in several areas, including the debut of the new Orient caliber F6922 and a more robust 120-Click bezel. The 41mm case diameter features a mineral crystal and is water-resistant up to 200m (660ft), making it suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, though not for diving.

With roots dating back to 1901, Orient Watch has specialized in the manufacture and growth of mechanical timepieces. Since 1950, the brand has been at the forefront of mechanical watch production in Japan. Orient does not have an obscure history; rather, it has been producing mechanical watches for more than 60 years and is one of the top three watch manufacturers in Japan, producing 2 million watches per year. However, it may be the biggest watch brand many have never heard of.

All of Orient's movements are exclusively made in Japan, with no manufacturing processes outsourced. This in-house production allows Orient to ensure the highest quality standards for its timepieces. The implicit value in owning an Orient watch is the tremendous quality that can only be experienced through ownership.

Orient prides itself on the premise that its timepieces are a "watchmaker's watch" - a no-frills mechanical watch that is robust and trustworthy. As an in-house movement producer, Orient joins a select few watch companies that manufacture their own movements exclusively for their own use. It is highly uncommon in the industry for a company to produce its own movements in-house, but by doing so, Orient can ensure its watches meet the highest standards. Orient's watches have often been lauded for their rich styling, dependability, and tremendous value.

Built in the exact image of its predecessor, the Ray II Rubber is Orient's second generation of its iconic flagship diver model. While the aesthetic remains near-identical to the original, there are several subtle changes. The new movement, caliber F6922, is automatic, hand-winding, and hacking, eliminating the need for a second crown present on the original model. Additionally, the bezel has been upgraded to a 120-click design, allowing for greater precision and timing.

In summary, the updated Orient Ray II Rubber retains the classic diver styling of its predecessor while incorporating several technical upgrades, including a new in-house movement and enhanced bezel. As an established Japanese watchmaker with a rich heritage in mechanical timekeeping, Orient continues to offer high-quality, reliable, and value-driven timepieces to enthusiasts worldwide.
