Crucially, the Stretto also follows the Tsuyosa’s perfectly proportioned case size, measuring one millimeter wider at 38mm. While this size isn’t for everyone, it casts the widest net in today’s market.
As part of Orient’s 75th Anniversary Collection, the Stratto also comes in three limited edition references with matching gray-blue radial brushed dials and red seconds hands.
Along with the standard time-and-date dial arrangement, there is a day-date borrowed from the Bambino collection and an open-heart dial. All three watches should be available in America later this year.
My first impression of the Stretto was that it looked so familiar, but in a good way. Orient occasionally offers wild and inventive designs, but the brand’s true strength is reinterpreting tried-and-true watches that absolutely anyone can afford.
The Stretto pulls that off as effectively as any design in the brand’s catalog.
