Bigrustypig asked me for more details on this watch I have had for a few years now, I bought it NOS and its dated from the 1980's. I recently had it serviced and it keeps really good time. The inner bezel rotates by using the lower crown. I have seen a few on the bay lately but the price is going up as they are getting harder to find. I hope this informative enough for all and maybe interesting. There you go bigrustypig!!  Orient 46941 Features automatic no manual wind sweep second 24h display day: set by pusher at 2h date: quick set f = 21600 A/h power reserve 39h Case size Across 44mm not including crown Case hight is 50mm

Thanks for the time, info and effort on this, ND. I showed the pic to an old, retired, 78-year old watchsmith and he's familiar with this. It's a very good movement and back in the day, there were some nicknames for it. I think he said Lieutenant Gen or Lt. Gen because of the 3 star designation. I think this was also because of the markers....check them out, they look like what a general would bedeck his dress khakis with, huh. I like this watch because of the dial (same sentiments as Nic) which is absolutely a rare concept and the dimensions, of course. The rotor's size is also a strange one and this makes it even more unique. Is power reserve in the vicinity of 30 hours? It's in very good shape although some retrofitting could have been done on the date disc, right? Wear and enjoy this in good health.

these are cool watches NB and were very popular 6-7 yrs. ago ...you can still find some NOS FS under $100. I like the hands and still have a few different SK models under the bed....google Orient SK Crystal or model 469617 Jeff...they came with different color variations on the outer ring as well and I still prefer these vintage 70's models that had acrylic crystals and the reproductions that have hardlex crystals that came around again in the 90's to the new Orients and they are a great buy imho and a great example of the big watch craze of the 70's...TY for sharing NB! hand6.gifhand6.gif

Thanks for the lodes of info, O! I'll research this a lot more. 6-7 years ago, I was still on Seikos/Citizen as a preferred Japanese brand and because I wasn't a forum member, had zero/zilch/zippo info on the other brands. I knew Orient was there but was averse to a purchase error. I'm glad ND posted this and my eyes are even open some more. Need to also talk to some old watchsmiths and see what they share with me. Thanks again, both
