The classic Orient diver has undergone several upgrades, including the introduction of the new Orient caliber F6922 movement and a more robust 120-click bezel. This timepiece boasts a 41mm stainless-steel case and a mineral crystal, with a Japanese automatic movement and water resistance up to 200m (660ft), making it suitable for professional marine activities and serious surface water sports, but not for diving.
Orient Watch has a rich history dating back to 1901, specializing in the manufacture and development of mechanical timepieces. Since 1950, the brand has been at the forefront of mechanical watch production in Japan. With over 60 years of experience, Orient is one of the top three watch manufacturers in the country, producing 2 million watches annually. It may well be the biggest watch brand many have yet to discover.
What sets Orient apart is that all of its movements are exclusively made in Japan, with no outsourcing in the manufacturing process. This in-house production allows Orient to ensure the highest quality standards for its timepieces. The brand takes pride in being a "watchmaker's watch," offering a no-frills, robust, and dependable mechanical watch.
In-house movement production is a rarity in the industry, and Orient joins a select group of watch companies that manufacture their own calibers exclusively for their own use. This vertical integration allows Orient to deliver watches that are widely praised for their rich styling, reliability, and exceptional value.
The Ray II Rubber is Orient's second-generation flagship diver model, built upon the image of its predecessor. While the aesthetic remains largely unchanged, there are several notable improvements. The new movement is automatic, hand-winding, and hacking, eliminating the need for a second crown present in the original design. Additionally, the bezel has been upgraded to a 120-click mechanism, providing greater precision and timing capabilities.
In essence, the Ray II Rubber embodies the essence of Orient's watchmaking philosophy – a reliable, high-quality mechanical timepiece that offers tremendous value to the consumer. The brand's commitment to in-house movement production and unwavering attention to detail have solidified its reputation as a respected player in the Japanese watch industry, catering to both enthusiasts and casual wearers alike.
