This video is perfect timing. I just ordered the Orient Triton 2 days ago, the Blue version. It just came back in stock on Joma shop for $325 delivered. I can't wait for it to get here.
Been watching it too but was hoping the $429 orient star diver would come back in stock as well.... glad they have more of the tritons but that blue and white OS diver with no crown guards and skeletonized hands... really nice
Great Video Big E , I love that Triton the only one thing that throws me from getting one is the date window at the 4 o clock but besides that it's a great watch. Keep em coming brother.... great work 👍
I notice the gap in the endlinks on the.strapcode on orient. I find the factory bracelet works perfectly fine. Too bad strapcodes tolerances aren't as good as the factory bracelet.
Great review on two great watches . I own a Orient Mforce Bravo and a Padi Turtle 🐢. The one Seiko watch that beats all of them would be the Seiko Sumo. I own a SBDC033 Sumo or aka the Blumo . If you don’t own a Sumo I strongly recommend that watch . The Sumo has much better case and finishing on par with the Seiko Marine Master watch and also houses a 6R15 movement which is an upgrade to the 4R36 .
As long as Seiko won't offer sapphire at this price point they won't be able to compete with the value offered by the Triton. Must admit my Triton (blue) is also very dressy, people just keep asking what is this beauty. Love Seiko also, my favourite brand ever, but they must step up their game and at least offer sapphire and improve quality control on their sub $500 watches (misalignments are plenty).
You might consider the Kamasu. It's not a Triton however the quality is mind-blowing for the price, and it wears really small,. much smaller than the 41.8mm let you imagine. The Triton wears like a 41mm watch, the Kamasu wears like a 39mm watch. My Tissot Seastar (43mm) wears really bigger than my Triton.
I love the Triton. But I already own an SKX009, Citizen NY0040, and will soon re-buy an Seiko Turtle 777. I'm afraid all those watches are too simmilar. I do love them...
Triton/Neptune FTW. Loved the black so much, I also got the blue. Bracelet is horrendous though. But man these babies go so well with so many different color NATOs. Got a few leather NATOs for everyday use, and heavy duty seat belts for the poolside/swims. Great video.
@@EricSloferwatchreviews Don't know definitively but I read somewhere "Triton" was just an unofficial, community name, that stayed in line with the Ray and Mako theme. Triton sounds so much better though!
I’m still a little torn between the Triton and the Orient star diver... it looks the OS looks a lot nicer to me but I’m not sure it looks $200 nicer. Back when it was $100 more I was in, but waited too long...
Nice review. I have become a big fan of Orient. I have 2 Kamasus, and I expect my Triton to arrive this week. These are feature packed, value packed Japanese watches. In my opinion, the Triton wins due to the superior lume, the Sapphire crystal, and the high-end movement.........can't go wrong with Orient.
As an owner of both watches I can say that Turtle does not deserve to be even mentioned in one sentence with Orient. Triton is superior in any conceivable way. The quality, the materials, the finish, the overall refinement and, what is the most impressive at this prices point, the movement - all those things make Orient a much better watch. My Triton is close to 0 spd. Zero. Seiko runs fast with 10 spd. Now I want to sell my Turtle and buy me another Triton, black one this time. I rock blue version with the Strap code's Angus Jubilee bracelet. Ideal combo.
@@EricSloferwatchreviews Yes indeed. I love every quirk of it. The finish and positioning of massive crown which lies in line with data window. All lumed indecies on board, no skimping there. And the bezel. Brushed on top, polished underneath. Awesome. For me, it was impossible to find a better diver, bellow Marine Master, other than Saturation one. To be completely frank, in my opinion, there isn't one between those two. Huge gap to fill.
The orient outshines the seiko turtle . The only which lets the orient triton is the original bracelet. But all in all the orient is amazing value for money . I've gone off seiko recently because of 1,The prices have skyrocketed.2,The quality has gone down a little .3,A lot of misaligned chapter rings .
The right side of the Orient seems too cluttered. Wish they kept the date on the left side as on the saturation diver. Also, the minute hand is short. Not sure why they didn't make it as on the Kamasu to extend all the to the minute track.
Watch Once-over this is the correct way to do a review hands down, the product reviewed versus 1 or 2 close competitors, way better idea than the rest of those channels focused on 1 piece
The main thing the Orient has that's superior is its sapphire crystal with the AR coating, but sapphire isn't that much better than Hardlex. The Orient's lume might have been a little bit brighter (which is very strange since Seiko has legendary lume). Those are the only two things better about the Orient in my opinion (and the second one I'm not sure about). The Orient does have the power indicator, but I don't see much value in that and it doesn't help the look of the watch. I'd rather have the day of the week displayed than the available power. My limited research suggests that the movements of the two watches are of about equal quality. In my opinion, the Turtle is clearly the better looking watch, and you don't even have the best looking Turtle. The "Save the Ocean" Turtle for example blows the Triton out of the water. Orient needs to lose the logo; it doesn't help the appearance of their watches. Anyway, I don't have either watch, but I intend on picking up the Turtle after Christmas.
I just bought a mako usa 2 and I love it, but could totally do without the day. IMO it's useless. Maybe if you're retired it's useful (they never seem to know the day), but as I work, there are probably only 2-3 times per year I forget the day. That's usually Saturday vs. Sunday and for like 2 seconds. I would much rather have a power reserve indicator.
Exactly how does a save the ocean turtle blow a Triton out of the water? Just subjective nonsense without any evidence. Clearly a Seiko fanboy. I've owned both and Orient has Seiko licked in every area. Seiko's quality control leaves a lot to be desired too with misalignment issues aplenty. And Hardlex is nowhere near sapphire. I'm yet to scratch a sapphire crystal with heavy use I must add. I've scratched every Hardlex crystal watch I've owned. Seiko saves it's best watches for for its own domestic market. I love the discontinued JDM SARB series with the 6R15 movement, but those are now few and far between and Seiko doesn't make watches like that anymore at that price point.
To me the turtle outshine the triton.The prospex lineup quality is superiour than orient.The only orient worth buying is the orient saturation diver.The osd quality is equal to the marinemaster except the movement and slightly better finishing.Good review though.Keep it coming .
The Triton is an OSD with "just" 200m WR instead of 300m. It is more on the dressy side tho. The Triton isn't called mini OSD for nothing. Almost unanimously considered as the best sub $1000 diver ever made.

Great review of two watches I’m considering picking up! Well done dude!
More than ever, I am convinced the Orient Triton was designed specifically to outmatch Seiko’s entry level divers.
It's there a difference other than the name ?

Hello
Great review!

Hello Biggie!
What's the strap code doe the Orient? I watched your video and I ordered one today, but I really like that bracelet.
Thanks !
Yes that's the super jubilee from strapcode for the Orient it's an awesome bracelet
Ok cool thanks man I got it now real good info you know what your talking about for real 💯👍🏿
Great shootout my friend. Keep up the great work. Orient really does outspeck the Seiko. I guess the name on the dial comes with a premium. Thanks
At 45.5mm I think the Orient M Force is a better comparison .ps In the UK the Seiko is more expensive
Could you please compare the Triton to the New Triton (RA-AC0K01B10B)?
I'll have to do that.
Good comparison.
Great comparison!
