ORIENT 70's / Hi Line / Cal.48940

Introducing the Orient "High Line" from the 1970s .

The "Highline" series, which was introduced in the 1970s , was developed as an advanced model of Orient's mid-range cameras at the time.

While emphasizing practicality, it gained popularity as a unique model that is typical of Orient, with its linear case shape and unique dial design.

Although equipped with an in-house movement, it was offered at a more affordable price range than the high-end Royal Orient model, and is still attracting attention today as a series that supported the company's golden age.

The High Line shines beautifully like a jewel.

The gradient gold dial features a unique dial design with a vertical stripe pattern in the center that catches the eye.
The shade changes depending on the angle of the light, creating a three-dimensional and deep look.

The indexes are three-dimensional bar-type with green luminous dots at the tips as an accent.
At the 6 o'clock position is the "Ha" emblem, which stands for "Highline."

The case is made of stainless steel and has a polished finish throughout.
The contrast between the sharp, straight lines and the mirrored reflection creates a brilliant impression of the design of the time.

Another feature that symbolizes this particular model is the cut glass used for the windshield.
The faceted glass captures the light, creating rich shadows and sparkle on the dial - a rare detail unique to the 1970s that is not found in current models.

The "High Line" perfectly expresses the Oriental style, combining functionality and decorativeness.

The movement is Cal. 48940 , an automatic with 21 jewels.

The movement is manufactured in-house by Orient and features a practical structure with a day-date function.
Based on a design concept that is robust and easy to maintain, it still demonstrates stable accuracy and is a practical movement that you can continue to use for a long time to come.

Case size: height: 41.2mm , width: 41mm , thickness: 13.7mm , weight: 97g .

Please be sure to read the following information after purchasing an antique watch.

When selling antique watches at RESUME, we do not immediately hand over the watch to you upon receiving your order. Instead, we have a professional overhaul (hereinafter referred to as OH) the watch, and then we deliver it to you after the OH is completed. (This takes about 1-2 months.)

Our specialized craftsmen, who are first-class watch repair technicians, will completely disassemble your watch, replace worn parts such as internal gaskets, clean it, oil it, and perform a thorough overhaul, maintaining it to a daily accuracy of about ±1 minute.
When we deliver the machine to you, we will also send you our own overhaul certificate, which will show you what kind of overhaul work was done on the machine, as well as photos of the machine being disassembled and serviced.
