Orient twerps
110 watches, straps and clocks Gethin has had on the beef wagon. Filter it, sort it, get rid of the rest.

Orient Kamasu
Sapphire, a shimmering emerald dial and a bezel that shames the SKX for under £200: superb, apart from the bracelet and the lume.
Orient · Diver
Orient Mako XL
A strange and wonderful big Mako with a fully lumed cream dial that annihilates the competition at night, let down by a pipless bezel and hollow end links.
Orient · Dress
Orient Bambino (Gen 2)
A super-domed, in-house, beautiful dress watch for under £100. Shame about the 21 mm lugs and the strap.
Orient · Diver
Orient Triton
A shrunken Orient Saturation Diver: refined, extremely wearable and a worthy contender to the sub-£1,000 benchmark, but the bracelet has to go.
Orient · Diver
Orient Kano
Quite good: a superb, saluted bezel and vintage dive looks for under £100 used, dragged down by a wobbly crown, a pipless bezel and a fast-running movement.

Orient Multi Year Calendar FEU0A003BH
An 'ingenious, inexpensive, magnificent' calendar watch for about £100, and the one he says he'll die with.
Orient · Diver
Orient Ray II
A lovely, high-quality in-house diver for about a hundred quid, let down by a tiny crown, a hard-to-grip bezel and a jangly bracelet; Gethin would spend a bit more on the Kamasu.

Orient Saturation Diver Professional 300m (OSD)
Orient's best ever watch, a bargain and a beast, but only for big wrists.
