Orient"Kanno Japanese Automatic/Handwinding Diver Style Watch

Pictures do this watch no justice. Such a nice looking watch for the price, along with a good weight & feel. Seems to keep time accurate, minus a couple of seconds which is going to happen.Bought for my son as a Christmas gift, his new everyday watch!

I purchased the black dial/red bezel Kano on the rubber strap, then the blue dial on the metal bracelet.These Kano watches are great for those with larger wrists, especially the rubber strap versions. With a 44mm diameter and 50mm lug-to-lug, they're pretty large watches. The rubber strap is surprisingly comfortable, so much so that I kept it on rather than swapping it with a Nato strap. I have 8.25-inch (210mm) wrists, and it fits with holes to spare.The blue dial watch is stunning. The pictures do not do the dial justice.Pros and cons: Great movement, excellent bezel (a bit tight until you work it in, but no play at all), screw-down crown, and a good rubber strap.Cons: Most of these are understandable given the price point of the Kano series. Mineral crystal, not sapphire. The metal bracelet has a few issues, like stamped metal clasp and hollow end links. But again, that's kind of expected for this price. I was a bit disappointed that the bracelet was so short (especially given that the rubber strap was a decent length). I had to purchase an extra link from Orient so it would fit my wrist. One would think the target market for this watch are those with large wrists, so having a short bracelet was an odd marketing choice.Love the watches and they are in the rotation to wear. If your wrist can handle the size, I highly recommend the Kano.

The watch is beautiful. The "Pepsi" bezel is lovely. Bezel has a matte finish to it, as opposed to that shiny look. I dig it. The crystal isn't sapphire, but still fine quality. The movement is keeping accurate time at around +2 secs. Although the bracelet has a pressed clasp, instead of a milled clasp, it's still a very nice bracelet and feels very substantial. The bezel has a nice "ratchet-like" click to it, with virtually no backplay. The lume isn't astounding, but we're keeping in mind it's a $170 watch. All in all this is a wonderful watch and if you're on the fence, just do it. You won't be sorry.

So, I have a few Orient watches. I usually swap out the bands and bracelets to customize the look. This watch comes on a super comfortable black silicone rubber strap but if you remove it and add a medium-tan leather band, this watch looks phenomenal. I’m not really into large watches and at 44mm this watch is a little larger than I typically prefer (and I have a bigger 7.6”wrist). But, at this price and color combo, I just couldn’t resist. I put the black silicone strap on a Pepsi-bezeled Orient diver that I had and slapped a leather band on this one and it looks sooo good. It reminds me of the Tudor Black Bay with red bezel but a heck of a lot more affordable.This is a really good quality automatic watch for the money. It’s accurate, has a hackable screw-down crown and the lume is strong. The 120 click unidirectional bezel lines up nicely and overall finishing are very good. As long as your wrist is big enough, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Excelente movimiento del dial. Pero al dial le falta en acabados. La máquina es buena. El Lumen es muy mejorable.

Looks like a luxury dive watch without being too ostentatiously homage!The strap, albeit rather too long, it is amazingly comfortable.The bezel is rather a burgundy tone of red, very similar than a Tudor Black Bay Heritage Burgundy, except that the hour markers and hands are very different (better looking in my humble opinion) and something that the luxury watch hasn't have is a day/date complication, framed between two parallel white lines.The price is amazing for what you are getting. It has an in-house movement that for the price is unheard off!Only downside is that it comes with a Mineral crystal. If Orient had gone with a sapphire crystal, it would have been the perfect watch! But hey, for that price for a dive watch, in-house movement, and a brand with high level of QC standards, you cannot beat!If you think about its horology history and what Orient stands for, this is a real bargain.Don't over think it, most likely this watch will appreciate in price in the near future, and it will become difficult to procure. Buy it now!

I had a few Seikos already so I decided to get an Orient for my next addition and I was highly impressed. Excellent finishing and detail. The lume is comparable to Seiko or Citizen. Bezel action is tight with no back play. Hacking with hand winding and screw down crown. It's a bit large but not a deal breaker. If you're wrist is 7" and up your good. I got the black rubber strap version, but I've had it on NATO's , leather straps, tropic, etc. Definitely a "strap monster" at 22mm. Accuracy is fantastic. Maybe I got lucky but it's consistently around 5 seconds per day which is well within specs for the F692 inhouse movement inside and one of the more accurate mechanical watches I own. I've had this watch for over a year at the time of this review and I can honestly say for the $155 purchase price, it's probably the best value for what you get. Forget AliExpress Chinese homages with off the shelf NH35 movements. For the same money you get an in-house calibre movement, brand heritage, excellent finishing and detail from a watch maker that will stand behind their watches. Buy this watch and you won't be disappointed!
