This vintage Japanese-made timepiece is a robust, tool-oriented diver-style watch from Orient Watch Co., dating back to the 1980s. During this era, Orient responded to the quartz revolution by producing highly durable, sports-centric tool watches designed to compete directly with JDM rivals like Seiko and Citizen.
Aesthetically, this model stands out with its matte black dial featuring oversized luminescent hour plots, a classic Mercedes hour hand, and a contrasting inner 24-hour military scale printed in red. Housed in a solid stainless steel case with protective crown guards, a black elapsed-time bezel, and a day-date window at 3 o'clock, this reference balances traditional diver aesthetics with extreme military legibility.
The heart of the watch is the reliable Orient Cal. D3911 quartz movement. Designed as an in-house workhorse, this movement features a day-date complication with a convenient bilingual quickset mechanism. The dial also features an inner red-printed military track (13 through 24) that borders the primary luminescent hour plots, a rare and highly functional design detail that adds significant military/field appeal to this traditional dive-bezel layout.

Conclusion / Condition:
Driven by its original, highly accurate Japanese Cal. D3911 quartz movement, this Orient D39748-90 CA is an excellent, honest survivor of 1980s JDM tool-watch design. Between the highly legible dial configuration, the useful day-date complication, and the solid stainless steel sport case, this is an incredibly practical, reliable, and character-rich vintage grab-and-go watch.
