For years, Orient has quietly cultivated a legacy etched in time, its meticulous craftsmanship speaking volumes of its enduring credibility. This esteemed brand has firmly built a reputation as solid as the finely linked bracelets of its watches, crafting mechanical marvels that showcase quality with every tick. And now, in 2025, Orient has reached yet another significant milestone – a grand celebration of 75 years dedicated to the art of horology. That’s three-quarters of a century steeped in the intricate dance of gears and springs, a fine display of high-quality watchmaking.

To mark this momentous anniversary, Orient is gracing its customers with new, limited edition models of the Orient Mako and the Orient Mako 40. These new models are captivatingly gorgeous – decorated with a breathtaking sky blue dial. The soft colour evokes the serene feeling of a bright sunny day, where the skies are clear, stretching blue as far as the eye can see, and you can feel the gentle warmth of the sun on your skin.

Adding another layer of visual texture, the dials feature sunburst stamped patterns. These delicate lines radiate outwards like the sun’s golden rays, catching the light and imbuing the watch face with a dynamic shimmer. And then, a playful yet sophisticated touch – the seconds hand is painted in a cheerful yellow. It’s a tiny spark of sunlight dancing across the blue canvas, a constant reminder of bright, carefree moments. As a final flourish, a vintage Orient cursive logo, a charming echo from the brand’s 1950s origins, graces the dial, a subtle nod to its rich heritage. Turning the watch over reveals a discreet yet significant engraving on the caseback: “Orient Since 1950 – 75th Anniversary,” a quiet declaration of a journey well-travelled.

But the celebrations don’t end there. Alongside these special editions, Orient is also introducing new regular models of the Orient Mako 40 in a trio of vibrant and undeniably popular dial colours: a passionate red, an earthy green, and a sophisticated grey. The red and green variants are sharpened with the addition of silver-coloured rotating bezels, lending them an air of polished refinement, like a perfectly tailored suit. Meanwhile, the green and grey models embrace a more contemporary feel with newly designed silicone straps with embossed processing. These straps not only promise exceptional comfort on the wrist but also add a modern, almost tactile dimension to the watches. As a final, unifying touch, all three of these new models are enhanced with a subtle yellow tip on their seconds hand, a small but striking detail that truly enhances their overall look.
