Introducing The New Orient Star M34F7 Collection: Inspired By Dawn’s Radiance
Orient Star has unveiled two stunning limited editions in its M34 collection inspired by the serene beauty of the Aurora at dawn. These new models, the M34F7, showcase remarkable craftsmanship through their sophisticated design and impressive mechanics. Each is limited to 200 pieces.
Designed with a polished stainless steel case, these watches measure 40mm in diameter and 47.3mm in length, with thicknesses of 13mm for the open-heart model and 14.1mm for the moon phase model. The refined exterior boasts a mirror finish, a smooth bezel, a fluted crown at 3 o’clock, and a double-curved sapphire crystal, creating a sleek and durable package ready for any occasion. Additionally, the open case back allows enthusiasts to enjoy the movement in action, and with a water resistance of 100 meters, these watches are as resilient as they are elegant.
The mother-of-pearl dials of these Orient Star limited editions feature a subtle light grey tone that shifts to shades of blue or lilac under different angles and lighting conditions, giving each watch a dynamic visual appeal. On the dial, applied hour markers and centre hands ensure readability, while the moon phase model (RE-AY0202A) incorporates a pointer date sub-dial at 6 o’clock that includes the moon phase indicator. For the open-heart model (RE-BY0009A), a small seconds counter replaces the moon phase feature, while an open-heart design at 9 o’clock offers a glimpse of the movement within. Both models include a power reserve indicator at noon, adding functional elegance to their aesthetic appeal.
Powering these exquisite timepieces are the F7M65 (moon phase) and F7F44 (open-heart) automatic movements. These calibres are decorated with Geneva stripes and chamfer finishes and are finely tuned for an accuracy of -5 to +15 seconds per day. They operate at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and offer an impressive 50-hour power reserve, ensuring reliability and precision.
Each Orient Star M34F7 watch is paired with a steel bracelet that mirrors the case’s refined finish and is secured with a folding clasp, balancing elegance with practicality. Priced at €1,185 for the moon phase model and €1,555 for the open-heart model, the Orient Star M34F7 limited editions combine luxury with the allure of dawn-inspired beauty, making them a remarkable addition to any collection.
