Orient Defender Watch Review
The Orient Defender is one of the Japanese watchmaker’s answers to the humble field watch. A field watch is a generalized term for a military infantry watch or one worn by someone who is traversing the outdoors. Field watches are meant to be durable, reliable, affordable, easy to read, and not particularly pretentious. Worn by soldiers and adventurers of the past, the field watch of today is a humble statement that communicates your active lifestyle, and that you probably prefer mountain biking to mimosas.Orient produces the Defender (reviewed here as the reference FET0N002K0) in at least five different styles including four dial colors and either a leather strap or steel bracelet. This version has an olive green dial and is paired with a rather comfortable black leather strap. Even though black-dialed watches are probably more common, olive drab-colored dials are more common for field watches, so I think it is a fitting hue for the Orient Defender.
