Amazon.com Product Description
This diver series is the most popular collection that Orient has to offer. A feature that makes this model into a professional diver watch is its water-resistance of up to 200 meters. This is perfect for you if you enjoy scuba diving on your vacations to Hawaii. You will notice that this watch combines the timeless design of the dial with the sporty look of the bezel to create a work of art.

This collection of diver watch is all mechanical. What this means is that it runs on the spring of the watch. When the diver watch is worn, it will automatically store power in the spring. Hence the name, automatic watches.

The dial for this watch comes with both day and date indicators located at the 3 o’clock position. The day indicator is adjusted by unscrewing the push-button, located on the 2 o’clock position, and pushing the button for the specific day. The date indicator is adjusted by the crown (time-setting piece) located on the 3 o’clock position.

This watch has a two-level crown which adjusts both the time and the date. The 1st level corresponds to the time while the 2nd level corresponds to the date. To adjust either level, you must first loosen the screw-down crown. The purpose of a screw-down crown is so that water does not enter the case. Not only does the crown have shoulders for added protection, but it also has the official orient logo engraved on the crown.

Another attribute that adds to the value of this watch is its unidirectional bezel. The purpose of this feature is so that you can adjust the time bezel to the minute hand to see how many minutes have gone by. The time hands, as well as the hour indicators, are both luminescent. This allows for the owner to view the time during the evening.

The band for this series comes in either stainless steel metal or black urethane. In the metal band variation, the links come in matte finish. You will notice the double-locking clasp and how it gives added protection so that the watch does not come off inadvertently. Unlike the metal band, the urethane variation comes in a deployment clasp.

Since this collection is so popular, Orient offers a total of 8 variations to this watch: 4 with metal bands and 4 with urethane bands. Within the metal bands, there are different dial and bezel colors: black dial on black bezel, blue dial on blue bezel, blue dial on blue/orange bezel, and orange dial on black bezel. Likewise, the urethane band variation has different dial and bezel colors: black dial on black bezel, blue dial on blue/orange bezel, blue dial on blue bezel, and orange dial on black bezel.

Customer Reviews

Nice Automatic (self-winding) Watch
The Orient CEM65003D is another variation in the large, and popular, automatic day/date diver watch collection by Orient. I bought this model with the rubber strap, because I like to be able to easily adjust the fit of the watch on my wrist. The Orient band is okay, but I found it a little stiff, and replaced it with a 22mm woven nylon band. The original band was pretty long, and would easily fit over a wet suit - if I was a deep sea diver. (I'm a desk-bound computer weenie.)

I've been pleased with the accuracy of the CEM65003D. After a month of wear, I've found that mine's accurate to within about a minute a week. Mine runs slow. I set the time a minute ahead, and when the watch is a minute behind, a little more than two weeks later, I set it ahead again. In this way, I know that my watch is within a minute of the correct time. If you want a really accurate watch, you're probably ahead getting a quartz model, but there's something about a mechanical movement that appeals many watch wearers.

The controls of the CEM65003D are a bit odd. The watch has a screw-down crown, and a screw-down locking ring around the pusher button. The pusher button does nothing but advance the day name of the day/date display. Unlike most day/date watches sold in the United States, the day name abbreviations aren't bilingual. The day name advances two notches for each day, so they could be bilingual, but instead, the second day name is repeated in English with the day number after each - e.g. Mon1, Tue2, etc.

The CEM65003D is sometimes called the "Pepsi" model, because the rotating bezel is blue and red, and reminds users of a Pepse bottle cap. I just like the little flash of color. By the way, the dial is beautiful, with a deep blue dial that appears to be glazed, and nicely finished luminescent hour markers, and easily read hands

if anyone can save the mechanical watch world, it will be the folks from orient. i cant find a flaw. ok i can find one...the little blue picture on the strap looks kinda cheesy. i like the extra pusher for the day. its a neat little add on. accuracy is within 5 seconds per day. thats very good. you can tell that orient is serious about building good movements! i have bought two orients from amazon and i cant find a flaw in either one and ive been collecting watches for quite a while. i know whats out there. if your on the fence jump over to this side. also if your into greening up the earth, you should know that this watch will go for years and never needs a battery. its also very serviceable. on a full wind it should go for about a day or two if you take it off. its meant to be worn so wear it. the bezel is solid and well built and like everything else on the watch it looks great. i buy my watches for utility first (im a construction worker) and looks second. im very very happy. as far as specifics, there is no hack and no hand winding. and by judging the smooth second hand it looks to be about 6 beats per second. all typical and dandy. and at this price ([...]bucks today) you cannot go wrong. i know that quartz watches are a touch more accurate but theres a novelty about having a little well made machine on your arm clicking and whirring away. especially these days. dontcha wanna be just a little old school?? sure you do.
