With the Orient Ray II you get an automatic movement with hacking seconds, 40 hour power reserve, as well as a day and date display. Design wise the stainless steel case measures in at 41.5mm, sporting a 120-click rotating bezel, blue dial and generous lume on the hands and markers for low-light legibility.
