Orient Star Retro-Future Bicycle Watch

New Moonphase Watches from Orient

 In early 2021 Orient
introduced
the first non-skeletonized, full-dial version of the brand's
mechanical Moonphase watch. Now, Orient presents additional references in this
series, similar in their overall mechanics and construction but with stunning
new mother-of-pearl dials.






The non-skeletonized Orient Star moon phase models operate using the
brand's in-house automatic caliber F7M65, featuring a 50 hour power reserve and
accurate to within +15/-5 seconds per day.



Like the previous model, the case is 41mm wide, 49mm long, and 13.8mm
thick, the crystal is sapphire front and back and coated with Orient's SAR
("super-anti-reflective"), and water resistance is 5 atm.






Three references will be on offer (availability starting late October):



·        
Japanese ref. RK-AY0113A
features a grey dial (with purple-blue tones), and comes with both a steel
bracelet and dark grey leather strap. It will be limited to 350 units.



·        
Japanese ref. RK-AY0114A features
a green-teal dial (MOP colors are always hard to define…) and comes with both a
steel bracelet and black leather strap. This reference is non-limited.



·        
Global ref. RE-AY0116A features
that grey-blue-purple dial, and is sold with just the steel bracelet. This
reference is limited to 200 units.






The new moon phase watches are around 1400 USD at the current Japanese
Yen rate, making them real good value for anyone looking for a quality
mechanical Moonphase watch – assuming you like the style, of course.
