An Oriental Rainbow

ORIENT 3-Star SK Diver Automatic (NOS)
Caliber 469 Twenty-One Jewels
Bi-directional inner bezel
This Orient never fails to put a smile to my face - she is simply so refreshing in her vibrant colors coupled with a vintage copper color dial! My understanding of the meaning and usage of the inner bezel has got to do with the relationship between dive time and non-decompression depths. I am no diver but I remember Mr. Reto from PMWF.com explained graphically the use of this inner bezel in his site. The domed crystal will be a scratch-magnet so I supposed she is safer to stay in the watch box!



Again another NOS which I was fortunate to have purchased three of them! I sold one to a lady in the States and the other locally. Now I keep this piece with my other NOS Orients.
