02The community take

Owners talk.

“

The Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch is widely praised as an affordable, classic dress watch with a well-balanced design and a sun and moon dial. Owners appreciate its sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, and the F6B24 automatic movement, which offers hand-winding, hacking, and day, date, and 24-hour complications. Some owners find the 42.5mm case size and 14mm thickness to be large, and note that the moonphase is a day/night complication. However, others find it surprisingly not heavy and like its layout and finish, considering Orient the best value brand. Overall, owners rate the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch highly for its attractive sun and moon dial and excellent value.
