Our take on the Orient Contemporary Automatic Blue Dial Men's Watch RA-AC0021L10B

The Orient Contemporary Automatic RA-AC0021L10B is a dress-casual automatic watch with a 40.5 mm stainless steel case, a blue dial with silver-tone hands, and a blue leather strap. It runs on Orient's in-house automatic movement, visible through a transparent caseback, and is rated to 30 m of water resistance behind a mineral crystal. It suits buyers who want a mechanical watch with a classic look without paying Swiss-brand money. Against similarly priced automatics it offers an in-house movement and a display back, but its mineral crystal and modest water resistance trail rivals that use sapphire and higher ratings.
