Orient is bringing back its popular M-Force model, a much-loved member of the Orient Sports Collection.
The first four models of the new third generation series will be ISO-standard divers’ watches plus one limited-edition to commemorate Orient’s 70th anniversary this year.
The tough, functional and distinctive M-Force adventure watch has captured the hearts of fans worldwide, from its first-generation series (1997–2002) to the second-generation series (2011–2015).
The new M-Force retains many of the same features of earlier generations – Mechanical (a watch that keeps time without batteries or solar power), Massive (a durable watch equipped with shock-resistant exterior and internal structures) and Maverick (a watch with an original design that is both refined and daringly different) – while introducing the latest industrial design trends.
The new models are ISO-standard air divers’ 200-m watches that pursue the functionality expected of a true adventure watch, featuring the modified in-house caliber F6727. They also include a large screw-down crown at the 3 o’clock position and uni-directional rotating bezel.
New for these models is a striking case protection shield with a powerful round form, protecting the screw-down crown and the bezel from external pressure or shock.
The dial, seen through sapphire crystal glass with an anti-reflective coating, has embossed indices for a three-dimensional look, coated with strong Luminous Light to ensure excellent visibility, an essential feature of any diver’s watch.
Also new is the metal bracelet, with its solid and sturdy end links tightly connected to the powerful shaped lugs to integrate seamlessly with the case. The links are arranged at a shorter pitch for additional comfort.
There will be four regular models in the new modern designed M-Force lineup. In addition to the basic black dial, it is also available in renowned Orient colours such as red, green gradation, as well as matte black.
A limited-edition, 70th Anniversary commemorative model of just 1,600 pieces with a gold gradation dial completes the current M-Force line up. The gold gradation dial takes its inspiration from the Orient Jaguar Focus model which gained numerous fans back in the 1970s. It combines a bronze color case and protection shield to provide a vintage element to the newest M-Force.
