Orient Stretto 75th Anniversary Limited-Editions and New Regular Production Models
In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Orient has released a 75th anniversary limited-edition model as well as regular models from Orient Stretto, a new iconic series in the Contemporary Collection. Modern, varied designs and affordable prices make the Orient Stretto a highly attractive series for watch enthusiasts.
Orient Stretto’s designs are based on the popular Semi Skeleton model with a theme that expresses urban landscapes. Wedge-shaped indices evoke towering skyscrapers, while the concentric circles beneath them suggest the arcs often seen in modern architecture. The mirror-polished reverse-R surface on the case lugs adds a distinctive shine.
Three new 75th anniversary models are available in a limited edition of 2,500 pieces for Orient Stretto Day & Night, 2,800 pieces for Orient Stretto Semi Skeleton and 2,900 pieces for Orient Stretto Date.
The models are each based on different designs, but share common elements commemorating the brand’s 75th anniversary, such as the original Orient logo from 75 years ago in cursive on the dial, and a grey tone that enhances the overall look.
Orient Stretto’s urban designs are accentuated by a distinctive sunburst culminating in an arc, and three-dimensional wedge-shaped indices that harmonize with the grey dial – a rare dial colour for Orient. The orange colouring of the hands and around Luminous Light indices provides a striking accent to the monotoned look of the watch.
The see-through case back revealing the mechanical movement is marked with a cursive inscription “Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary” and individual serial numbers are also engraved on the back of the watch. The models each come with a special 75th anniversary box.
The new regular Orient Stretto Date model features a date display, and comes in popular dial colours from the Semi Skeleton line: navy blue, white and brown.
The same sunburst finishing to an arc and wedge-shaped indices as the 75th anniversary model can be found on the dial. The case has a diameter of 38.5 mm for ease of wear and features reverse-R lugs, characteristic of the Orient Stretto series.
Each of the dial colours represent diverse features: the model with white dial has gold-coloured plating on the bezels, metal bracelet, hands and indices for a touch of glamour, while the model with brown dial comes with chic rose gold-coloured plating on the bezels, and an easy exchange strap allowing for a quick replacement of the strap for added convenience.
All the 75th anniversary limited-edition and regular models of the Orient Stretto series are equipped with an automatic, bi-directional winding movement allowing the watch to be fully wound in a short amount of time.
The in-house movement offers stable accuracy of +25 seconds to –15 seconds per day, power reserve of 40 hours, and a case offering water resistance to 5 bar, making this the perfect watch to comfortably wear in daily life, for any style or occasion.
