Orient is a prestigious Japanese watchmaker with a history dating back to 1950. The brand is particularly well-known for producing its own mechanical movements in-house, a rarity in the industry at its price point. The M-Force line, featured in the image, represents the brand's 'Mechanical Force' series, which debuted in the late 1990s and is characterized by its ISO-standard shock resistance and diving capabilities.

While Orient began as an independent entity, it has undergone significant corporate changes over the decades. Since 2009, it has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seiko Epson Corporation. The brand maintains its distinct identity and manufacturing facilities, primarily based in Japan, though some components and assembly for specific models may occur in other regional production hubs. To this day, the brand remains a cornerstone of Japanese horology, offering high-quality mechanical and quartz timepieces to a global audience.
