► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is an ultra rare vintage Orient Automatic ERAH-A1 men’s sports dress watch, made for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1970s. This striking model blends sporty and elegant styling, featuring a black dial with gold accents, day/date display, and Orient’s signature three-star emblem, representing the brand’s long tradition of automatic craftsmanship.
The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions operate properly. It appears to be fitted with an aftermarket two-tone bracelet, as no Orient markings are visible on the clasp or links, though it matches the watch’s aesthetic beautifully and complements its gold-tone case design.
The watch is in very good physical condition, with the case showing less wear than the bracelet, which has visible signs of age and use. The photos best describe the watch’s overall appearance and should be reviewed carefully.

► ARCHIVE FILE: ORIENT — BRAND HISTORY
Orient's roots reach back to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida opened a watch shop in the Ueno district of Tokyo, growing the business into Toyo Tokei, a maker of gauges, table clocks, and wristwatches. That firm did not survive the postwar economy, but in 1950 production restarted at the old Hino factory as Tama Keiki Co., renamed Orient Watch Company in 1951. From the start the company concentrated on affordable mechanical watches built around movements designed and manufactured entirely in-house, a discipline it never abandoned.
