Orient Watch question

Seeking some advice on this watch. I was out junking as my wife calls it, looking for razors and now old watches, and I picked up this old Orient watch. From the design I'm guessing it is from late 60's early 70's. The watch is in rough shape but keeps good time. So was thinking of just wearing as is, as workshop watch, I'm a metal worker. Now I'm assuming it is a cheap junk watch, but before I start wearing it like a cheap watch, I thought I should see if this is something special. I had always assumed Orient watches just one step above Timex, but looking n the web it seems like they did have better models. The markings on the back V469713-7D PR. I can't seem to find any info and would appreciate your thoughts.

It probably has never been cleaned and oiled(they need that every 5 yrs).
They are a little better than your standard Seiko, so it's your workshop watch.
It will be a wonder if it keeps good time (if has never been serviced) I think...:001_cool:
