The Orient Mechanical Classic & Simple Style 36 is a small dress watch from Orient Star, Orient's premium Japanese line. It runs on an in-house mechanical movement and keeps a clean, understated dial in a gold-tone case. Its 36 mm size suits smaller wrists and anyone who wants a traditional dress watch rather than a sporty one. Against Swiss dress watches at similar quality it offers in-house mechanical construction and Orient Star finishing, though it lacks the brand recognition and the sapphire-and-bracelet packages some rivals include.

Owners of Orient Star's Classic line praise the finishing and the smooth in-house movement for the money. The main reservations are the modest case size and the plain, complication-free dial.
The Orient Mechanical Classic & Simple Style 36 (Ref. RA-BB0101S) is an automatic dress watch with a 36.4mm case. It is a more compact alternative to Orient's 38.4mm model. The case is gold plated over solid stainless steel, with polished surfaces, a bevelled chamfer along the full length of the lugs and a satin brushed finish on the sides. The lugs curve downwards to fit the wrist.
The white dial has a pie-pan shape that curves toward the edges. It has polished applied indices, faceted gold hands and a minute track along the rehaut, all under a domed crystal. An exhibition caseback shows the Orient in-house caliber F6524 automatic movement. The movement is hand-winding and hacking, with a 40-hour power reserve.
The watch has a push pull crown and is water resistant to 30m / 3 bar. It comes on an 18mm crocodile-textured leather strap with a smooth surface and brown stitching. The strap has an Orient signed buckle and a quick release mechanism, so it can be changed without tools.
