ORIENT GRAND PRIX TRIOSTAT 100J AUTOMATIC MENS WATCH
$2,200
Presenting the Almighty Grand Prix 100
The full name of this model would be "Orient Grand Prix Triostat 100"
This one is for the Collectors; A rare JDM Orient model with 100 Jewels, the highest number ever reached!
It's a unique piece from the 60's features Triostat regulation, Incabloc shock absorption and a Pellaton auto-wind from IWC.
The engineering effort Orient put into the movement back then is to be admired, creating a wonderful bit of horology, representing a unique moment in Orients history.
The dial itself is cleverly textured, appearing to change its color from dark grey to a light shade that is almost like silver. Well, it probably is silver. A close look at the dial shows it was both horizontally brushed and vertically grooved, which probably adds to the complex way it interacts with light.
Its Pellaton mechanism made sure it was efficiently wound; its time-keeping was accurate thanks to the Triostat regulation; and it had proper shock absorption thanks to Incabloc.
The LCW movement inside runs great. It winds sweetly and maintains its power reserve well, and does not stray far from its original chronometric level of accuracy, this is really incredible for a watch that is nearly sixty years old.
At 38.5mm wide (without the crown) and 47mm long lug-to-lug, it hits the sweet spot for dress watches. This is quite impressive, considering most dress watches in the 1960s wear closer to 36mm.
There are many reasons to be fond of vintage watches. Words like "legacy", "history" and "tradition" often come to mind, along with clichés like "they don't make them like this anymore" and "watch industry today lost its soul".
The thing I like about Orient's old models is how wearable many of them still are. Their robust, reliable movements keep ticking with minimal maintenance, their looks are usually just as cool now as they were 40, 50 or even 60 years ago,
This watch runs and keeps time well. It has been serviced.
