Orient re-released this watch in the late 90's. It was a modernized version of their King Diver Series. Dubbed the SK Crystal this watch employs the Orient Calibre 469. Their automatic workhorse. This one is very minty and would probably be rate 9.5+ displaying only the most minor amount of wear (see pics) The fuchsia color is a knock-out! Little known fact Orient was the first Japanese manufacturer to employ the wild iridescent face colors which actually became the inspiration for the "Sunburst" dial on the original Rolex Sub 2 tone.
The watch features 2 crowns and a pusher. The 4:00 crown rotates the inner chapter ring and the 2:00 pusher is for date advance.
40mm case and comes with ALL links to fit even Hulk Wrists like Canwatchco regular Matt K!

I just had this watch given some precautionary service by one of the best watchmakers in Winnipeg. He gave it a quick once-over, replaced one seal and did the appropriate lubrication for years of trouble free operation. The watch keeps excellent time.
Here's a recent example selling for $300US + shipping.
