"Orient Emperor"
One of my first Orient watches....

Great dial.. The markers are stainless steel and they can disappear completely depending on light or look black/gray as in picture..

Cheers

Love the textured dial, script, and the Orient emblem looks so royal. Will definitely have to get one to round off my collection.

This one they are comparing mechanical and hi-beat of 36000 as common factor

Ed, you might be referring to spring-drive?

:D

SD is usually considered by purists as fusion technology comprising of electronics and mechanical technology innovations. Hi-beat is purely mechanical and hence can be compared with Zenith 36k movement.

However, the watch in question is an Automatic...

SD has no beats, the "balance wheel" is spinning all time, regulated with a braking mechanism..

So the watch, Hi-Beat 36000 couldn't be a SD. ;)

Yup.

For a moment I was blur too.

GS. It even beats the rest of high end European brands. For non-European brands to win, it must be significantly more superior.
