Mechanical Contemporary Leather Strap Watch RE-AV0005L00B

The Watch
Japanese brand Orient Star invites you to be swept away by its latest model - a timepiece that will win over watch enthusiasts with its sunray blue dial in perfect harmony with the case. How could you resist the allure of that "open heart", adding its signature blend of technical artistry and poetic depth? The watch features a brushed stainless steel case, 41mm in diameter and 12mm thick - a proportions that sit perfectly on the wrist. A sapphire crystal sits above, offering the best possible protection against scratches thanks to its exceptional hardness, and features an anti-reflective coating for effortless legibility in any light. A crown at 3 o'clock lets you set the time or manually wind the movement at will. Finally, the screwed caseback ensures 10 ATM water resistance and is also transparent - letting you sit back and watch the mesmerizing dance of the rotor as it marks time, as if time itself only existed through its mechanism.

The Dial
A true masterpiece - one glance is all it takes to appreciate the extraordinary beauty of this dial. Round in shape and bathed in an exquisite navy blue, it's brought to perfection by a sunray finish that covers the entire surface. This finish captures every ray of ambient light and transforms the dial's hue with each tilt of the wrist - making it feel like a brand-new watch every time you look down. Elegant yet thoroughly modern, this dial announces your passion for fine watchmaking. Two central silver hands indicate the hours and minutes; both are luminescent, ensuring perfect legibility day and night. The hours are marked by luminescent silver baton indexes applied around the dial, alongside a white minute track for pinpoint precision. Note the 12 o'clock index rendered in Roman numerals - a signature detail of this model. At 9 o'clock, an "open heart" finishing reveals an unmatched view of the movement in action, a testament to the watchmaker's meticulous craft. A half-skeleton finish on the entire right side lets you glimpse part of the mechanism through the dial. At 12 o'clock, a sub-dial displays the power reserve (50h), while the 6 o'clock sub-dial features the small seconds. Finally, Orient Star signs its name with its logo at 3 o'clock in fine, light lettering.

The Movement
This Orient Star beats to the rhythm of a Japanese-made automatic winding movement. An exceptional, impeccably engineered caliber - the F6F44 - powers the watch, driving both central hands and the small seconds. The power reserve stands at 50 hours. It features 24 jewels and an oscillation frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour.

The Strap
On this stunning model, Orient Star chose to complement the watch's quality with a premium black leather strap. It features a crocodile-embossed pattern and tone-on-tone stitching, adding a distinctly classy touch to the overall look. The deep black also pairs beautifully with the blue dial showcased here. The strap closes via a single-fold deployment clasp with double push-buttons for effortless wear.

Water Resistance
With a water resistance of 100 meters - 10 ATM in the beloved language of watchmaking - this boldly styled timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie gala and in the water! You can confidently wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even at full speed). That said, our team of watchmaking experts wants to be clear: this model is in no way designed for scuba diving - freediving or with tanks - or for use with high-pressure water jets. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only, and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged!
