[Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/LBGdHO3) Up for sale is an exceptional vintage Orient Hi-Ace (Ref# F489101) from the 1970s. This piece showcases a mesmerizing gradient green dial, beautifully complemented by a faceted crystal that catches light at different angles. It's equipped with the 21-jewel automatic Cal. 48940 movement, known for its reliability and smooth operation. The Hi-Ace line was a significant part of Orient's lineup from 1973-75, offering various case shapes and dial styles. One unique aspect of this particular Hi-Ace model is its use of the Cal. 48, which introduced a screw-down crown, a feature not present in the earlier Cal. 46 models. This mechanical refinement not only allowed the date to be set from the crown but also contributed to the robustness of the Hi-Ace series. The watch is in excellent condition, especially given its age, and comes with its original bracelet, which retains its unique design. Whether you're a collector or someone who appreciates vintage timepieces, this Orient Hi-Ace is a great addition to any collection.
