Orient SEL06002B Men's Limited Edition X STI M-Force Power Reserve Automatic Diver Watch
Orient Watch Co. LTD. has been a proud sponsor of Subaru Tecnica International Inc. (STI) for the past five years. It sponsored the Subaru WRX STI tS for the 40th ADAC Zurich 24-Hour Race (the Nürburgring 24-Hour Race) which took place on May 17-20, 2012. The M-Force equipped WRX STI tS went on to win the SP3T class for the second year in a row. To commemorate this victory, Orient Watch has released the Orient x STI M-Force 200m Limited Edition watch, which has a limited worldwide production of 1,500 pieces, with each piece individually numbered. With a unique carbon fiber dial and STI brand logo, the Limited Edition STI M-Force features design cues inspired by the actual WRX STI tS car that won the race. For example, the power reserve indicator is made to resemble a fuel gauge. The cherry red accents are a signature of STI and are found throughout the watch. Orient Watch did not substitute sleek design for functionality. Designed to perform through the rigors of the grueling race, the watch meets the ISO standards for water resistance (200m), shock resistance and anti-magnetism. Additionally, the movement is both self-winding and hand winding and features a second-hand halt mechanism. Included with the watch is a urethane strap which is the exact same type that was worn by drivers during the actual race.
