Orient brought back this same original multicolor dial on one of the 2021 World Map divers, but this time around, the brand has swapped out its (often-maligned) modern logo for the cursive logo the brand used in the 1950s. It’s a small change but makes a big improvement, in my opinion.
The bracelet is the same one found on the 2021 revival, and is a five-link style that looks like it has seven links. It features a mix of polished and brushed finishes and secures with a dual push-button folding clasp. Visually, it somewhat resembles the iconic “tank tread” bracelet of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M.
The last major change that makes this watch extra special is its use of yellow gold plating on the fluted bezel and twin crowns. Previously seen on a blander, white-dial 2021 World Map model, the gold adds a glam element to the model that pairs perfectly with the colorful dial, ratcheting up the retro vibes even higher.
Powering the watch, as with most Orients, is an in-house mechanical movement. The Calibre F6922 is an automatic with 22 jewels and a hacking function, along with a power reserve of 40 hours. The movement is hidden behind a solid caseback engraved with the limited-edition number and “Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary” in the same cursive as the 1950s logo on the dial.
