The 2019 Orient Star Diver is an homage to the 1953 Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. The Orient Star has given their model a clean easy-to-read look with the pill capsule shaped indices and handset. The choice of text colour helps hide three of four lines of text. Orient also added a power reserve indicator, all of these features are useful in making the time highly legible.
The Fifty Fathoms was the first watch to feature a unidirectional timing bezel (patented by Blancpain) and an automatic movement (without the need to wind the watch while diving). These two features alone make the Fifty Fathoms (300ft water resistant) an outstanding watch.
