ORIENT RA-TX0203S Features
The new Diver design model is solar-powered chronograph watches. It is powered by converting energy obtained from sunlight and other light sources into electrical energy, so there is no need to replace batteries. It features a uni-directional rotating bezel, along with a metal dial with a fine luster finish. Solar battery charging is achieved through the three sub dials; a 24-hour indicator at 3 o’clock, a 60-minute counter at 6 o’clock, and a small second sub dial at 9 o’clock. An Arabic numeral adorns the 12 o’clock position, and Luminous Light is used for the numeral, indices and hands, allowing the wearer to read the time even in the dark. The glass is made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the screw down crown and case back offer high water resistance to 20 bar. Bringing together the two design elements of diver and chronograph, and equipped with the convenience of solar-powered battery, the diver design model makes them convenient for daily use and outdoor activities when the chronograph function is used.

About ORIENT RA-TX0203S
Orient Watch is a Japanese watch brand owned by Seiko Epson. Established as an independent company in 1950, it became a functional subsidiary of Epson in 2009 before being fully integrated into the company in 2017.
Until it was absorbed into Epson, the Orient Watch Company had primarily marketed mechanical watches (self-winding & hand-winding), but also produced quartz, light-powered (solar) and radio-controlled models. Outside of the main business, the company produced some moving parts and electronic components that were then assembled into Seiko Epson’s electronic devices.
Currently, Akita Epson Corporation (formally Akita Orient Precision Instruments Co., Ltd.), a group company of Epson, manufactures all of the Orient movements in-house in Yuzawa, Akita, Japan.
