Orient Star Watches

Orient is a prestigious Japanese watchmaking brand renowned for its commitment to mechanical craftsmanship and in-house movement production. Founded in 1950, the company established itself as a leader in creating high-quality, accessible mechanical timepieces, ranging from classic dress watches like the Bambino to professional-grade diver watches.

While originally an independent entity, Orient's excellence in precision manufacturing led to its eventual integration into the wider Epson Group. Today, the brand's premium line, Orient Star, represents the pinnacle of their horological expertise, continuing a legacy of 'Made in Japan' quality that appeals to global collectors and enthusiasts.

As of the 2020s and looking toward 2026, Orient operates as a key subsidiary of the Seiko Epson Corporation. This relationship provides the brand with advanced technical resources while maintaining the distinct design language and mechanical focus that has defined Orient for over seven decades. Manufacturing remains concentrated in Japan, ensuring rigorous quality control and specialized craftsmanship.
