The stripes shift in tone in a very eye-catching but not too flashy way, and the watch has all the unpretentious charm and unusually good value (if you like this style at all) that used to be synonymous with Seiko 5. However, in the back of my mind was another brand: Orient, which could often be found in the hybrid wholesale and retail jewelry and accessory shops that used to line lower Broadway in the Flatiron district.įor this challenge, I did some hunting on Amazon and lo and behold, found this rather startlingly handsome Orient 3-Star automatic, which has a very cool gradient brown dial finished with what are for all intents and purposes Geneva stripes. The Seiko 5 and its many variants were then and still are strong contenders, although Seiko 5 for modern Seiko more often means the Seiko 5 Sports series, which pick up stylistically where the discontinued divers like the SKX007 left off. When I was first coming up in the watch world, the watch to get if you wanted to get a real watch, from a real brand, with real history, was Seiko and the go-to watch was the Seiko 5 – so much so that James Stacey writes below that the series basically "amounts to a cheat code" for a challenge like this.
