TIME HAS SHAPE

OREX GIVES IT A FACE

Orex® by Romania

Orex® is a Romanian watchmaking brand, a historic reference in wristwatches reborn in a Deluxe range. The new “Comte des Carpates” models feature the Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement (26 jewels), 316L steel, sapphire crystal, and a design inspired by the traditions and motifs of both Romanian and European horology. Orex® represents an ambitious and independent project in the landscape of Romanian premium watchmaking — a timepiece that continues to beat with the precision, passion and refinement of the fine-mechanics industry that created it.

At Orex®, every model carries forward a symbol of authentic craftsmanship born half a century ago, and the spirit of a legendary figure — the Face that shaped Time .

„May its time be good!”

Orex® Workshop

Dear customer, a watch is precious and "lives" through the care you give it. In this section but especially in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section you will find general information, structured to the understanding of enthusiasts, on how to properly maintain a watch.

Periodic review

A mechanical watch needs a partial overhaul every 2-3 years and a complete overhaul every 4-6 years: disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and fine-tuning of the mechanism.

Seals & gaskets

Gasket material ages naturally over time. Periodic pressure tests and gasket replacement are essential to retain the water resistance (WR) from the manufacturers declaration of conformity.

Cleaning & finishes

The case, bracelet and glass should be cleaned with gentle, abrasive-free products. Polishing operations are done only in a specialized workshop.

Water resistance

In the table with "Classification of the water resistance of the watches" information is specified about the waterproofness of the watches under wearing conditions. Note, if you are an avid diver you may need a special watch that can withstand the pressure you dive under.
