WIN: Orient Watch Giveaway.

September 11, 2009
Years back, I bought a Japanese watch on eBay. It was a horrid Casio orange, tomato red and metal monstrosity that set me back around €15 and kept my time for about a year until I realised how shockingly ugly it really was. Not offbeat, not eccentric, just plain minging…
So, to avoid such traumatic experiences with Japanese timepieces win yourself the below-pictured mechanical lovely!

^ Simply leave a comment, saying what you think of the Orient Watch range, in order to win this!

Orient Watches was originally founded in Tokyo in 1950 but its roots reach way back to the beginning of the 20th century. Over time it’s garnered a reputation for championing the mechanical watch and is revered for its men’s watches which combine ecological-awareness with a sleek, yet exciting aesthetic (see the cdbaa003a, a model from the semi-skeleton (fashion forward gothic designs…WANT) range). Its design philosophy deems high-quality craftsmanship of crucial importance and the overall look is sophisticated but not in that staid, fuddy-duddy sense so often associated with time-honoured watch-manufacturers…

TO WIN THE WATCH: Simply leave a comment (being sure to state your name) on this post, in which you give a statement regarding the Orient Watch range. Anything at all. I’m not the fussy type. EDIT: Please send an email including your full name to cillian[at]male-mode.com with Orient Watch as the subject.

Note: Competition closes September 26th! Winner will be selected using Random.org

    Not bad lookin' at all! Classy enough for a dinner date, but casual enough for a regular day. What's the significance of the 3 stars on the faceplate?

    As a student of Japanese culture and language, I frequently get to speak with exchange students from Japan and I always notice how positively fetching their wrist-wear is. I want to fit in when I'm in Japan next year so I'd love this slick watch! 🙂
