Orient introduces a new collection of sporty timepieces with the Neo Classic Sport model. It embodies a retro theme and is complete with contemporary technical specifications nodding to the original models from the 60s and 70s. Additionally, the watch retains many elements from the original including thick lume-filled hands along the dial, the block-patterned scale, and a comfortable cushion-style case.
The timepieces have an inner bezel that has the ability to tote by the 4 o'clock crown, which is a special feature exclusive to the King Diver and World Map timepieces. It is all enclosed in a stainless steel case that comes with a matching metal bracelet. Finally, it runs on an automatic and in-house mechanical caliber that has 40 hours of power reserve.
