That is a really great look. Is it as comfortable to wear as it looks?

I love my Orient star.

Most accurate watch I have.

I really like them too. I alternate between Stars and Luminox watches.

Beautiful Strap! Who makes it?

Don't know the caliber on this one.

Was gifted to me by my father in law for our engagement. Matches the rose gold inlay of my tungsten carbide wedding ring.

The band is NATO black cordovan with brass hardware

The only quartz watch I wear semi-regularly.

Thank you Freddy , it's a very comfortable strap, it feels like the nylon material on this strap is softer that the usual nato strap nylon.

Thank you GloryUprising
I have no idea who makes them. I bought it from this seller on AliExpress.

My grandfather let me go through some old stuff he had in the basement to see if there was anything I wanted and found this old Omega 750. It doesn't have a back but I found one on eBay for it and we will see if it works. It's in pretty rough shape but being a huge fan of Swiss automatics, like most of us watch people haha, I decided to try and get it running. I manually wound it and it started ticking. So I wound it for a few minutes and set it to the correct time. I checked back the next day and not only was it still running it still kept the time. So if the back works I might get a band for it and maybe even take it somewhere to be cleaned. Not a perfect formal watch but it will be nice to wear on occasion. I saw this thread and am a watch addict myself so I figured I'd share this find. If anyone has any more info on it I'd be happy to learn. Thanks!

Your grandfather sounds like a decent guy Lockbutcher . Does he have any recollection of what happened to the back? Its a strange thing to lose.
