ORIENT Olympia Orient Weekly F19626 1960s
Tax Included
オリエント時計は1950年創業の歴史ある国産時計メーカーで、かつてはセイコー、シチズンに次ぐ3番手として様々な機械式時計を世に送り出していたブランド。
王道のモデルはもちろん、セイコーやシチズンには無い、独特なデザインや色使いの時計があります。現在はセイコーエプソンの一部門となっています。
こちらの時計は1963年に発売されたオリンピアオリエント ウィークリーです。1961年に発売されたオリンピアオリエントというモデルをベースに日付と曜日の機能を追加したライン。
ケースはスクエアタイプで大きすぎない、丁度良いサイズに仕上がっています。
文字盤はシルバーのサンバースト(サンレイ)仕上げなのですが、中心から放射状に広がるのでは無く、6時位置から広がっているという珍しい仕上げになっています。
非常に細かいのですが、日曜日の「曜」の文字が「ヨヨ」では無く「羽」になっているのが年代を感じられて面白いですね。
インデックスは大きめのバーインデックス、針は多面カットのドーフィンハンドで引き締まっています。手巻き式で曜日・日付を搭載した時計は意外と少なく、かなり珍しいタイプの時計とも言えます。
日付は3時と4時の間に、曜日は6時上に表示されるのがポイントです。筆記体のロゴと漢字の組み合わせは今見ると新鮮な感じがしますね。
日付の変更は針を動かして10時から2時くらいまでを往復させる方式です。曜日の変更は針を24時間分動かすことで可能です。
先に曜日を合わせて、その後に日付を針の往復で合わせるというのが良いかと思います。
2021年2月にオーバーホール済み。1年保証となります。

In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.
How well the work is done depends largely on the thoughts of the craftsman.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
