Not long ago I put into competition some of my watches and the watch truest to the time of the Official USA Clock was the Ecozilla. I have set the Ecozilla to the second again and am timing it vs Orient. I have to say that this Orient is a very exact machine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBObchaKww4 |

Hi, I have to agree the Orient is a classy watch, many people think it's a Rollie. Timekeeping is pretty good and it wears well, it's a keeper...  ........Bob.   |

I also have an Orient "ER" movement in a different model and it is probably the most accurate mechanical I've owned fresh out of the box with no regulation. I remember it kept match with a quartz for as long as I bothered to measure.
ER was used in the old model Orient Stars for what that's worth.

Fot those that did not know, this watch was discontinued a couple of years ago. I gave myself one for my birthday. The black was by then a gonner so I settled for the blue one... it is avery nice watch. It does not get much wrist time but has been the cause of a lot of glances, even at jewelry stores and for those that do not know, they may think that it is a Rolex Submariner.

Well, I will conclude the test that started a few days ago. As of this moment which is close to my 10:00 am time, there is one second or less variation between the Orient and the Ecozilla. I have worn the Orient about 8 hours a day. Take this Omega! Oh, by the way the Orient cost me about $130.00 USD brand new...
