Orient watches use standard 22mm spring bar lugs, which means they are compatible with any 22mm watch band, including zamani’s heritage designs. The Kamasu, Mako III, Ray II, Star, Bambino, and Defender all share this lug width, making them ideal candidates for a strap swap. Quick-release spring bars work with standard Orient lug holes on most models, so no tools are required in most cases.

Installing Your Band: Spring Bar Guide
Orient watches use traditional spring bar lugs. Most zamani 22mm bands include quick-release spring bars, which can be installed in two ways:
If your Orient has standard-width lug holes: The quick-release pin on the band slides into the lug hole and clicks into place. No tools needed. This works on most Kamasu, Mako III, and Ray II models.
If the fit is snug (sometimes seen on Mako models): Use the included spring bar tool (available as an add-on at checkout) to compress the spring bar and seat it fully into the lug hole. Once seated, the quick-release mechanism works normally for future swaps.
The process takes under two minutes. Orient lug holes are generally well-suited to aftermarket 22mm bands, and the Orient community (r/OrientWatches) regularly recommends strap swaps as one of the best ways to personalize these watches.
Heritage Designs for Orient Watches
Orient watches are popular among strap enthusiasts precisely because they offer a refined mechanical movement at an accessible price point, making them worth personalizing. The “strap monster” community, people who buy multiple straps for the same watch, has a strong Orient contingent.
zamani’s heritage designs are particularly well-suited to Orient’s design language. The Kamasu’s clean, tool-free aesthetic pairs naturally with textile heritage bands. The keffiyeh pattern in black-and-white or red-and-white on an Orient Kamasu creates a combination that no mainstream brand offers: a well-regarded Japanese mechanical movement with a Palestinian or Arab heritage textile design.
Available design families for 22mm Orient straps:
- كوفية (Black, Red, White, Olive): Palestinian and Gulf keffiyeh patterns
- شماغ: Red-and-white shimagh weave pattern
- تطريز: Palestinian embroidery-inspired geometric designs
- Arabic Calligraphy: Arabic script motifs on band fabric
- Cedar (Lebanon): Cedar-inspired patterns
