Hands-On With The Orient Monarch Mechanical Power Reserve FDD03002B Men’s Watch

The first thing that you notice about the Orient Monarch Mechanical FDD03002B Power Reserve Men’s Watch is its stylish classic design. It features a stainless-steel case and a black leather strap. The signature Orient dots are featured neatly on the watch’s face. The watch has a power reserve indicator at the 12 o’clock position – this is very useful in keeping track of how much power is left in the watch. The case measures 40mm in diameter and 13mm in thickness. The dial is filled with Arabic numbers and the hands are tapered to subdue their look. The hands and markers are also coated to improve legibility. The watch has a matte black dial, so it is protected from scratches easily.

Orient Monarch Mechanical FDD03002B Provides excellent clarity

The watch has a mineral crystal, which resists scratches and provides excellent clarity. This type of crystal is also scratch resistant, so you do not have to worry about the crystal getting scratched easily. However, the mineral crystal does not provide 100% coverage to the dial; some of the dials are still covered by their bezel or case back. The crown is simple and it is at the 3 o’clock position. It is smooth, so it is easy to grip even when dry. This Orient Watch is protected by an exhibition case back so you can check out the movement and its condition. The satin finish is beautiful, but it does make the piece seem a bit dark. The numbers on the watch’s face are easy to read, especially in dim light.

Wearability

The watch looks classy, elegant, and modern. It is also very comfortable to wear because of its lightweight and ideal dimensions. The matte black dial and smooth hands make it easy to read too! Orient has always made watches that are tried and true with regard to durability while also having good movement. This watch is no different; it is easy to wear and easy to read. It also has a power reserve indicator, so you can now see the amount of energy left in your watch!
