Orient Contemporary RA-AC0E04L30B Blue Automatic Watch

RA-AC0E04L30B: the Orient Contemporary in a dressier version, blue dial

Overview

The Contemporary is Orient's answer to the minimalist watches that have flooded the market: a simple case, a clean dial, but a true in-house automatic movement, when most competitors are limited to quartz. The RA-AC0E04L30B features a blue dial.

Case

The Orient RA-AC0E04L30B stands out with a 40mm stainless steel case, only 11.9mm thick, with a fixed bezel surrounding an index dial, protected by mineral glass. In addition, there is a transparent case back that reveals the automatic movement beating through the glass, with a lug width of 20mm, water-resistant up to 10 ATM / 100 meters.

Movement

No unpleasant surprises when it comes to adjustment: hacking seconds and manual winding are indeed present. This is the case for the piece we are interested in: the Orient RA-AC0E04L30B is powered by the F6722 caliber, an automatic movement developed in-house by Orient, and its power reserve is around 40 hours.

Strap

As for the strap, the RA-AC0E04L30B offers a black leather model; for the clasp, a pin buckle; for the connection, a classic 20mm lug width.

Supplied with: Storage box, presentation pad, user manual.
