Orient Contemporary RA-AA0003R39B

This is the watch 

The red dial is the model’s central color feature and meets a black, unidirectional bezel with white minute markers. Silver-colored, luminous hands and hour markers provide clear contrast against the dial, while the day of the week and date are displayed together at the three o'clock position. The tooth-like shapes of the hands and markers connect to the barracuda that inspired Orient's Kamasu name. The result is a distinct sporty design with a classic analog construction.

Materials & fit

The case is round and made of stainless steel. It measures 41.8 mm in diameter, 46.8 mm from lug to lug, and 12.8 mm in thickness. Sapphire crystal protects the dial. The silver-colored bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel, has a width of 22 mm at the lugs, and finishes with a folding clasp and safety lock. Both the crown and case back are screw-down. The measurements show how the watch's width, length, and profile relate to each other for comparison with other models.

Highlights

• Caliber F6922 is automatic, can be manually wound, and features hacking seconds for more precise time setting.
• The mechanical movement has 22 jewels and a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.
• The unidirectional rotating bezel has 120 clicks and works together with a screw-down crown in the water-resistant construction.
• Luminous material on both hands and hour markers supports reading in lower light conditions.

Good to know

• How is the watch used in water? The 20 ATM rating allows for swimming and diving at shallower depths when the crown is fully screwed in.
• Does the movement have to be wound by hand? No, the movement is automatic but can also be wound manually.
• What does the calendar show? Two fields at the three o'clock position show the day of the week and date separately.
