Description

Classic Japanese King diver. An oversize Orient King Diver with twin crowns, an internal rotating timing bezel, and Kanji-only day wheel.

Proper vintage King Diver vibe: the second crown controls the inner bezel, making it a genuinely useful timing tool, and the Kanji-only day wheel gives it that unmistakable JDM personality. This is one of those watches that looks like a dive watch but feels more like a piece of 1960s/70s industrial design. The 42-43mm case diameter with clean classic dial make this a watch with massive wrist presence and unmistakable vintage feel without feeling over the top in this modern Garmin dominated landscape

About this model 

Orient’s “King Diver / Auto Weekly” series sits in that same golden era as the Seiko/ Citizen skin divers — big cases, bold markers, and practical features. The double-crown inner bezel layout is especially collectible because it’s both distinctive and functional. Just note: these often do not have a modern quickset, so calendar changes are done the old-fashioned way.
