Retro Design Meets Solar Power / Orient WF01004D

Описание: The Orient WF01004D is a retro-inspired, solar-powered watch from the once-popular Light Powered 4000 series — a line that combined classic design with practical solar technology long before it became mainstream.

In this video, we take a closer look at the Orient WF01004D, focusing on its vintage case shape, unique two-layer blue dial, compact dimensions, and everyday usability. The polished steel case with short, sloping lugs and a beveled bezel gives this model a distinctly retro profile, while the thin 8.5 mm case keeps it comfortable on the wrist.

Inside is Orient’s K700 solar caliber, offering:

Solar power with up to 10 months of reserve on a full charge
Accuracy of ±15 seconds per month
Low-charge indicator via a two-second ticking hand
Quick recharging (minutes in sunlight = a full day of use)

With 40 mm case diameter, light weight, and a slim profile, the WF01004D works especially well for small to medium wrists and fits easily into daily wear — from casual outfits to business-casual looks. The model delivers constant time and date display without the need for battery changes.

Although no longer in production, the Orient WF01004D remains available on the secondary market and stands out as a solid option for fans of retro design, solar-powered watches, and classic Japanese watchmaking.
