Orient Star Mechanical Contemporary Watch RE-AU0108G

The Watch

The Orient Star Mechanical Contemporary Watch RE-AU0108G00B is a remarkable expression of Japanese watchmaking, striking the perfect balance between style and function. Built around a sturdy stainless steel case measuring 38.50 mm in diameter and 12.30 mm thick, this watch is defined by its elegantly rounded silhouette. Stainless steel isn't just a style choice - it delivers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance for long-lasting wear. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal sits over the dial, offering reliable scratch protection while maximizing legibility. The screw-down display caseback ensures both water resistance and a captivating view of the movement inside - a feature prized by fine watchmaking enthusiasts.

The Dial

The dial features a striking orange tone, brought to life by a dual brushed and mirror finish that captures and plays with light beautifully. Roman numerals lend the dial a classic character that contrasts elegantly with the modern aesthetic. Luminous indices paired with a minute track ensure excellent legibility day and night, with a subtle glow in the dark. A date window at 3 o'clock adds practical functionality to this refined mechanical piece.

The Movement

At the heart of the Orient Star Mechanical Contemporary beats a Japanese automatic movement by the prestigious Seiko Corp. - caliber F6N43. Renowned for its reliability and precision, this movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph. It delivers an impressive 50-hour power reserve, keeping the watch running for more than two days on a full wind. The visible rotor, visible through the display caseback, showcases the craftsmanship and ingenuity of Japanese watchmaking. Paired with a highly efficient mechanism, it elegantly drives complications including the date and power reserve indicator - ensuring consistent, accurate display of all core functions: hours, minutes, seconds, and date.

The Bracelet

The watch's 316L stainless steel bracelet delivers lasting comfort and timeless style. Its silver-gray hue complements the overall timepiece perfectly, adding a refined touch to the look. The brushed finish gives the bracelet a subtle sheen without excessive glare. Built to withstand daily wear and the test of time, it fastens securely with a single deployment clasp in silver - combining optimal security with a polished, elegant feel on the wrist. The 20 mm lug width is perfectly proportioned to flow seamlessly from case to bracelet.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance rating of 10 ATM - equivalent to 100 meters - the Orient Star handles everyday water exposure with ease. This level of protection is ideal for daily use including showering and bathing, and is suitable for swimming as well. The screw-down caseback significantly enhances water resistance, providing superior protection against moisture infiltration.
