The Orient TAG03001B0, widely known among enthusiasts as the "Golden Eye 2" (or simply the Classic Open Heart), is a sophisticated update to one of Orient's most beloved dress watches. This timepiece is celebrated for making high-end horological features accessible, specifically the mesmerizing "Open Heart" aperture at the 9 o'clock position. This window into the soul of the watch allows the wearer to observe the rapid oscillation of the balance wheel, transforming the dial from a simple time-teller into a piece of kinetic art. Housed in a refined 38.5mm Stainless Steel Case, the watch features perfect dress proportions, slim enough to slide effortlessly under a cuff but substantial enough to feel premium. The dial is a deep, inky Black, framed by a polished bezel and accented with sharp silver-tone hands and hour markers. Roman numerals at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions add a touch of traditional elegance. A significant upgrade in this "Version 2" model is the inclusion of a Sapphire Crystal, offering superior scratch resistance compared to the mineral glass found on many entry-level automatics. Inside beats the upgraded Orient Caliber F6T22 Automatic Movement. Unlike its predecessors, this modern in-house engine features Hacking (the seconds hand stops when the crown is pulled for precise setting) and Hand-Winding capabilities. The movement is also visible through the exhibition case back. Secured by a brushed and polished Stainless Steel Men's Watch bracelet with a butterfly deployment clasp, the TAG03001B0 is a masterclass in affordable luxury.
