Dan Henry 1945vsOrient Multi-Year Calendar
The numbers, the dial colors, the calibers — laid out so you can stop flipping between tabs.
Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners and reviewers widely praise the Dan Henry 1945 for its rugged WW2-era pilot watch aesthetic and affordable price, with many appreciating its vintage hands and smooth chronograph sweep from the Miyota 6S20 meca-quartz movement. However, some find the 41.5mm case too large and the dial overly busy with subdials and scales, and note its 13.8mm thickness is substantial for a quartz chronograph. On balance, the consensus is that the Dan Henry 1945 offers significant vintage style and value for its price, despite some reservations about its dial layout and dimensions.
Owners report the Orient Multi-Year Calendar features a complex analog display for tracking days and dates across multiple years, housed in a 45mm stainless steel case with 100m water resistance. Some owners view the watch as a visually appealing novelty, noting that manual adjustment is required for months and that the older 20-year calendar version is difficult to find. One owner observed only light signs of wear on their watch, with minor desk rash on the buckle visible only under magnification. On balance, owners appreciate the unique calendar complication as a visually appealing novelty.
