Orient Star has launched four new Contemporary Date models with earthy colour dials from the Contemporary Collection. The richly nuanced colours add charm to this model characterised by its power reserve display and modern style. What a wonderful set of watches.
In addition to the three centre hands, the conventional design of the Contemporary Date model features a date display at 3 o’clock and Orient Star’s signature power reserve display at 12 o’clock. This series has gained popularity for its versatile watches suitable for every occasion from business to casual.
The new models come in new dial colours that are unlike previous releases and celebrate the subdued charm of earthy colours. The four colours are green expressing leaves on a tree, copper evoking desert sand, ice blue reminiscent of crystal-clear water, and grey like the inorganic simplicity of rocks. The stylish mood created by these desaturated, nuanced colours give a new layer of charm to these models.
Another feature of these earth-coloured Contemporary Date models is the high level of quality achieved through the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, edgy case that combines hairline and mirror finishes, and SUS316L stainless steel metal bracelet. All models are equipped with automatic in-house calibre F6N43 providing stable high accuracy of +25 seconds to –15 seconds per day and a 50-hour power reserve, make them highly practical watches.
With sophisticated colours, a comfortable case size of 38.5 mm in diameter, high-quality exterior, high-performance movement and affordable price, the latest models are attractive watches for daily use.
