Win it: The New Orient Automatic “Curator”

Curator White

Orient Automatic Curator – $290.50 w/ summer2013 ($415)

The code also gets you the Orient “freebie” package, which includes a quartz watch of Orient’s choosing and a lanyard. Also know that Orient Watches are now available for purchase through Fred Meyer Jewelers, so you can now get an in person look with one of their watches before you buy.

Orient seems to have shifted in the direction of cleaner, more classic styles in the last year or so. And the success of their domed crystal Bambino watch is proof that there’s a market for a less-is-more watch. This new “Curator” model follows in the Bambino’s minimalist footsteps, with two noticeable additions:

Curator Grey

A power reserve indicator

An extra $100 or so tacked on to the cost.

These are dress watches, through and through. They don’t have that antique-looking domed crystal that the Bambino has, but the crystal here on the Curator is the tougher, scratch-resistant Sapphire.
