Orient Contemporary RA-AK0308L30B - Automatic, 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, while most competitors stick to quartz. This RA-AK0308L30B model is recognizable by its blue dial.

Case

For the RA-AK0308L30B, Orient has crafted a stainless steel case measuring 41.5 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick. Nothing unusual to report on the dial side: hour markers, sapphire crystal, fixed bezel. Finally, the watch features a transparent sapphire case back that reveals the movement and its balance wheel, with a lug width of 22 mm; water resistance is 5 ATM / 50 meters.

Movement

For the RA-AK0308L30B, Orient has opted for the F6B24 caliber, an in-house automatic movement. The hacking seconds and manual winding, inherited from the brand's most recent calibers, make it easier to set. Fully wound, it runs for approximately 40 hours.

Strap

As for the strap, the RA-AK0308L30B features a silver stainless steel model. For the clasp, a deployant buckle; for the connection, a classic lug width of 22 mm.
