Review of the Orient CDD00001W0 Pocket Watch
August 16, 2009
In a first for Watch Report, today's review is of the Orient CDD00001W0 pocket watch. As in the kind that you wear in your pocket, and have to wind every day. Updated with modern materials and movement, this is a new take on an old standard. Let's see how they did. First, the specifications:
- In-house mechanical movement, Orient 48C40, made in Japan, 21 jewels, 21,600 vph.
- Hacking center seconds (very unusual in a pocket watch).
- 40-hour power reserve with power reserve complication at 9 o'clock.
- Stainless steel case and sapphire crystals, front and rear.
- Shock-protected movement. (Balance staff and other key jewels have springs on them, unlike vintage movements.)
- 40mm by 11.5mm case, waterproof to 30m (100ft).
- Stainless steel chain with belt clip included.
