A true hidden gem from Orient, the Chicane has become increasingly difficult to find since being discontinued. Known for its clean, versatile design and dependable in-house automatic movement, it’s one of those watches that has quietly developed a loyal following among collectors.
The Chicane is often compared to the Rolex Explorer because it shares the same understated, everyday-wear philosophy. Rather than being a direct homage or copy, it has its own identity with clean applied indices, a smooth bezel, balanced proportions, and timeless styling. It delivers the same go-anywhere, do-anything feel that has made the Explorer so iconic while remaining unmistakably an Orient.
Features:
• Genuine Orient in-house automatic movement • 39mm stainless steel case • Smooth polished bezel • Applied hour markers • Date display • Exhibition caseback • Stainless steel bracelet • Discontinued model • Reliable Japanese craftsmanship
Whether you’re an Orient collector or simply looking for a versatile everyday automatic, the Chicane is an excellent choice. Its combination of quality, rarity, and timeless design has made it one of Orient’s most sought-after discontinued models.
