My Weekly Watch Recom for the week is the an affordable quartz diver watch from Orient. Yes it's quartz, and with the price, it's an obvious choice for a good beater.
Men / Women:Men
Crystal:Mineral
Movement:Orient Quartz Movement
Crown:Screwed-down
Water Resistance:200m
Case Material:Stainless Steel
Dial Color:Blue
Calendar:Date
Band Material:Vent Rubber Strap
3 things I like about the watch. First is it's vintage cushion case popular on Japanese watches way back in the 60's and 70's. The blue dial and bezel with the yellow accent, not you see everyday on Japanese watches. And lastly, that magnified crystal on the date window. They just fit everything. But I do advise to replace the vent strap with that dolphin logo on the sides, replace it with clean rubber straps or better some nato or zulus that have that blue/yellow colors. If only this had an automatic movement in it, it will be a true classic. With the quartz movement, it allows for the thinner case so it won't go in the way with normal wrist movemenbts. Having a quartz one isn't that bad at all. A beater whose price won't run deep in your pockets, set it and forget it, and a unique design with the usual simple hues of Orient Watches, it's a sure recommendation from me.
