Orient Star Standard-Date With Carbon Fiber Dial Watch Review
Japanese watch brand Orient has been praised here on best watches for the level of quality they offer in relation to their prices – in other words, value. We recently recommended Orient as the best option for budget mechanical dress watches. And, while stylistically a bit different from those models, this Orient Star Standard-Date is another good example of Orient value, but a step up in terms of materials, movement, and price. First, let me say that, to me, this watch just screams “Japanese watch,"and I love that about it. The last thing I want is a watch that is trying to be something it isn't – though, ironically, the Japanese tendency to try a little too hard to be something else has created a familiar look of its own – which is exactly what this watch has that I enjoy.

Rado HyperChrome 1616 Watch
The?Rado?HyperChrome 1616 was unveiled at Baselworld 2016, and grabbed my attention as a very handsome watch from a brand a lot of “watch people” can often overlook. A?powerful-looking watch inspired by the brand’s vintage Cape Horn collection of the late 1960s revisited with new materials and a contemporary movement, the Rado HyperChrome 1616 is worthy of a serious look from buyers.Although Rado has historic models in its portfolio-like the Original, Integral, Sintra, and Ceramic families-we are more accustomed to the classic rounded cases of the Rado HyperChrome and Diastar collections. While the most innovative case?I can remember was the R-One Tron of 2012, it’s not the design but rather?the pioneering use of materials, especially in the use of high-tech ceramic, on which Rado has built it’s reputation.
