Orient M-Force Beast Review
With the exception of their $2,500 Pro Saturation model, the M-Force Beast is Orient's most serious dive watch option, boasting a more sophisticated in house movement than the one found in their very popular Mako and Ray models, as well as ISO 6425 divers watch certification, for what it’s worth. In short, the M-Force Beast is designed to be Orient's version of the diver's dive watch. Now we're not not divers here at worn&wound, so we can't speak to how it performs in the water, but having spent some time with the M-Force Beast, we're prepared to see if it lives up to its roughly $550 price tag.Case: Stainless Steel (brushed and polished)Movement: ORIENT caliber 40N5A movementDial: BlackLume: YesLens: SapphireStrap: Stainless Steel braceletWater Res.: 200mDimensions: 47 x 53mmThickness: 14mmLug Width: 24 mmCrown: screw down – 8mm x 5mmWeight: approx. 220 gramsWarranty: 1 yearPrice: $795 ($550 with Orient Watch USA online discount – use code “wornandwoundR

The last time we mentioned a 2497 on HODINKEE was when we saw a spectacular example from the collection of a Mr. Jason Singer in this episode of Talking Watches. 2 OF 103 OF 10 This particular example is special because it is in wonderful condition and one of the few pieces made not in yellow gold, but in rose.

Negatives to ap (15300)?
