Orient – Watch Manila

Orient Star has introduced new M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase watches. The popular white dial and navy blue dial remain in the regular collection while a limited edition of 190 pieces in light blue dial has been added.

The most prominent update to these new models is the expression of the moon phase. The moon’s backdrop has been changed to a vibrant, deep-blue colored night sky, and the stars appear clearer. This subtle change improves the whole dynamics of the dial while retaining the classic look which everyone is already familiar with. The dial still features Roman numeral hour markers, the power reserve indicator, date indicator, and the moon phase indicator. On the dial, an OS logo is also visible on certain angles of the watch.

The watch has a case size of 41mm in stainless steel and is powered by the automatic in-house calibre F7M42 which has a power reserve of 50 hours. The movement is visible via a see-through caseback.

As an added bonus, the watches come with an additional leather strap.

Orient Star was created in 1951 and is the most distinguished and exquisite timepiece collection from Seiko Epson. The brand will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2026.

Orient Star has introduced a new M45 F8 Mechanical Moon Phase Hand Winding model from their Classic Collection with two dial configurations.

The first one features a clean white dial and will be a mainstay in the regular catalogue.

The second watch features a dial with a stamped-pattern which expresses the countless stars of the M45 Pleiades star cluster and a monotone gradation which transitions from grey in the center to black on the outer edge. An applied thick and clear coating portrays the depths of the universe stretching to eternity. The second dial configuration will be limited to only 140 pieces and will feature serial number engraving.

Both watches are housed in a 39.5mm stainless steel case and are powered by the manual winding FA8A62 calibre which has a 70-hour power reserve.

The dials of both watches neatly integrates the power reserve indicator at the top portion and the moon phase on the bottom part. The white dial version features blue hour and minute hands as well as for the power reserve indicator. For the limited edition grey dial, the hands are all silvery-grey. The moon phase disc on the dials of both watches has a white mother-of-pearl moon.

Visible on the open caseback is the Côtes de Genève pattern which evokes star trails. Also noticeable from the caseback is the bridge with a cut-out showing a part of the blue escape wheel.
