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 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 Bambino (Gen 2)

A super-domed, in-house, beautiful dress watch for under £100. Shame about the 21 mm lugs and the strap.

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 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.

An 'ingenious, inexpensive, magnificent' calendar watch for about £100, and the one he says he'll die with.

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.
