Ladies watch Orient
Choosing a watch is not an easy task. They are at the same time a technical device that must work properly and the main decorative accessory. Today we will consider Orient women's watches: their types and functions, what materials they are made of, how much they cost and much more.
History
Orient Watch company, founded in 1950, has its own background. In 1901, watchmaker Segoro Yoshida opened a small watch shop with a workshop in Tokyo. The assortment then consisted of imported goods. The demand for watches was already quite high at that time, as were the prices for imported models, which the average Japanese could not afford. Therefore, Segoro's activities focused on the production of inexpensive Japanese goods.
Thus, in 1920, a production facility called Toyo Tokei Manufacturing opened in Tokyo, producing table clocks. In 1934. the manufacture of wristwatches began, and in 1936. another plant was launched in the city of Hino.
In 1950. Tama Keiki was opened, renamed Orient Watch a year later. From that moment, the active and successful development of the brand began. Significant events in its history include the start of sales of the Royal Orient (1959), the release of the Orient LCD Quartz digital watch (1974), the introduction of the Touchtron model with an LED screen (1976), the appearance of the Orientron quartz models (1977) and many others.
It is also worth noting the development of the Power Reserve mechanism, which shows the remaining power reserve.
Today, Orient factories produce more than two million products a year, and the company has representative offices in 60 countries around the world.
Peculiarities
The features of the brand include:

How to shorten the bracelet?
This easy procedure requires a light, soft surface, such as a table and a white tablecloth. This is to avoid scratching the glass or losing parts.
From the tools you will need pliers, a hammer, a paper clip or a needle.
The shortening process consists of the following steps:
- There are arrows on the inner side of the bracelet. They show in which direction the fastening pin extends. With a needle or a bent paper clip, you need to push the rod and pull it out with pliers for the crawled end.
- Then you should repeat the manipulation with the other attachment of the link and disconnect it.
- It is necessary to remove the links on both sides of the watch case and in the same quantity so that the clasp does not move. It is best to assess how much the bracelet should be shortened when it is still intact. Note that the first two links on each side of the body should not be removed: they are different from the rest. Most likely, there will be no arrows on them.
- To connect the two parts of the bracelet, insert the hairpin against the direction of the arrow and, if necessary, gently tap on it with a hammer.
How to distinguish an original from a fake?
First of all, a fake is given by the absence of a correctly completed warranty card. It must bear the seal of the organization that sold the product, the signatures of the buyer and seller, as well as the model name, date of purchase and the serial number of the product.
In addition, the absence of a hologram sticker or number on the case and bracelet can give a fake.
You can protect yourself from buying a counterfeit by first checking the prices for the selected model from authorized dealers. Undervalued prices in other stores should raise suspicions.
Customer Reviews
According to reviews of buyers who use their watches from 1.5 to 5 years, we can say that with careful wear, the glass, the case and the bracelet will not scratch, the dust will not peel off. A factory battery can last for five years.
In addition, the owners of both mechanical and quartz watches have no complaints about the accuracy of the movement. But a leather belt with active and prolonged use may lose its appearance and require replacement.
