- Is the Orient Stretto a good first automatic watch?
- Yes. It has a proven in-house movement, a classic dial and a see-through back, so it shows how a mechanical watch works without a big outlay.
- Does it have sapphire glass?
- This version is listed with sapphire crystal, which resists scratches better than the mineral glass on some other Stretto models. Check the exact reference before buying.
- How long does the power reserve last?
- About 40 hours. If you take it off for a weekend it will likely stop, so wind it and reset the time before wearing.
- Can I swim with it?
- Treat it as splash-resistant only. The leather strap and modest water rating make it a poor choice for swimming or showers.
- What strap size does it take?
- A 20 mm strap. That is a common width, so replacement leather, steel or NATO straps are easy to find.
- Does the second hand hack?
- Most Orient automatics in this line do not hack, so the seconds keep running while you set the time. Set it a minute ahead and wait.
