Introducing Orient Announces the Release of the World Map Revival Mechanical Watch

Although Orient roots trace back to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida opened a watch shop in Ueno, it wasn’t until the post-war period that the brand truly took shape as a watchmaker. In 1951, it released its first signature model, the Orient Star. Despite undergoing corporate transitions, the brand retained its independent spirit and continued producing mechanical watches under both the Orient and Orient Star labels. In recent years, Orient has revisited key milestones from its design archive through the Revival Collection, a line that reimagines iconic models from the 1960s and ’70s with updated specifications and modern build quality. Over time, the brand has introduced a number of revived editions that pay tribute to its rich design heritage. Today, Orient announces its latest release, the "Mechanical Revival", a commemorative model introduced in celebration of the brand’s 75th anniversary.

This watch features a bold two-tone case crafted from stainless steel with a gold-colored bezel, complemented by two gold crowns positioned at 3 and 4 o’clock. The case measures 43.5 mm from 3 o’clock to 9 o’clock and 46 mm from 12 o’clock  to 6 o’clock, offering a substantial yet balanced presence on the wrist. Built for durability, it includes a screw-down case back engraved with a special marking commemorating the occasion for which the watch was made the 75th anniversary of the brand’s founding and a crystal glass for added protection. With a water resistance rating of 200 meters, this timepiece is engineered for both style and performance in demanding environments.

The dial showcases a striking world map designed of yellow, orange, blue, white, and baby blue to represent different time zones. A black minute track runs along the outer edge, while applied minute indices add depth and dimension to the display. At 3 o’clock, a day and date window enhances functionality without compromising the dial’s visual balance. The second crown at 4 o’clock operates the inner rotating 24-hour bezel, allowing the wearer to align the time zone map with their location. For visibility in low-light conditions, the hour and minute hands are coated with lume, ensuring legibility around the clock.

Powering the watch is the in-house F6922 calibre, an automatic movement that also supports hand-winding for added convenience. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz) and offers an approximate power reserve of 40 hours. It comes with a Stainless steel bracelet, and it's a limited edition of 1,500 pieces.
