Orient Monarch Mechanical Watch

With its semi-domed mineral crystal and spherical case, the Orient Monarch’s build calls to mind watches of old—and that sentiment is further established by the dial and numerals. Fittingly, it’s fully hand wound, too. At 40 millimeters, the watch is fairly small, but it’s made even smaller due to the divot between the case and the bezel, slightly offsetting the two. The numerals look as if they were drawn on by hand with a fountain pen. Rounding out the watch are the skinny lugs and leather band. Also, though the watch is certainly antique in style, it can take a splash thanks to its 50 meters of water resistance.
