There are supporters, and there are opponents. As it happens in life, everyone has their own taste and it's good because it is more interesting. Some call it a hole in the dial, others call it a window through which you can see the beating heart of the mechanism - the balance wheel. It is not an accidental name, because it is here that the movement of the gears of the mechanism begins, which in combination with the hands and indexes of the dial allow you to read the time. Open heart reminds you that we are dealing with a mechanical watch. In the era of everything electronic, such a view is soothing, interesting, gives the impression of being out of time, allows you to stand out from the crowd and manifest your life on the run every second, going in your own direction. As always, the Orient showed great attention to detail. Perfectly made and mirror-polished case, bezel separated from the side surface with a stylish indentation, tasteful lace and slightly convex glass giving a beautiful effect. The color of the dial adds warmth - it's creamy beige, not yellow or white, but perfectly in between and seems to pretend to the colors often used in watches from the previous century, giving it a classic and elegant look. The hourly indexes in a beautiful font have also been perfectly fitted. They appear to be painted, but the thickness is noticeable and their black color reflects the light. Looking from different angles gives the impression that they are enameled. Black slim hands complete the design. Filled with a luma with hour markers, they glow brightly and for a long time at night, making it easier to read the time in the dark. And again it is an open heart, finished with care, surrounded by a decorative silver milled ring. One huge plus for the Orient, in this price range it is in vain to look for attention to the aesthetics of the mechanism, even when building an open heart. The Orient, however, can, the rounded edges and polished bridge of the balance wheel say it all about the production philosophy. Interestingly, the Orient uses twin movements, unfinished in this way, for watches with full dials. In addition, a glass screwed caseback allows you to view the mechanism from the back. Here you can also see the attention to detail, even in a delicately decorated rotor - nothing but a rarity in this amount. Since we already know that it is a mechanical watch ... The F6T22 movement is equipped with a stop-second and the ability to manually tighten the crown, the gait stability is very high. After almost a year of use, the average daily deviation in my unit ranges from +5 - +7 sec. a day, a revelation. The case diameter of 40 mm makes the watch very universal. The model is also suitable for official meetings and for everyday use. It goes well with a shirt, but also with a T-shirt or in combination with a sweater. It can be a watch for any occasion and in all circumstances please its owner with its undoubted charm, and looking at the beating heart gives a feeling of connection as if it were a living organism. Orient Esteem Open Heart won my heart, not only showing me its own, but also its originality, craftsmanship and its own way, individual view of the world.
