Orient Star has launched a 75th anniversary limited-edition (limited to 255 pieces) M34 F8 Date featuring its first model with a meteorite dial which takes inspiration from the Perseid meteor shower.

The dial of this timepiece features iron meteorite which has been treated with silver vapor deposition for anti-corrosion thin film coating. Each dial features a unique crystalline pattern making every piece different from each other. The sapphire crystal of the watch features a double anti-reflective coating making the meteorite dial easier to admire.

The M34 F8 Date has a case size of 40mm in stainless steel. Powering this watch is the automatic in-house calibre F8N64 with a power reserve of over 60 hours and which carries an accuracy of +15 seconds to -5 seconds per day, and is visible through the open caseback.
