Orient Star Introduces Limited Edition M34 Models Inspired by Aurora at Dawn
Orient Star is set to release two new limited-edition models from its Contemporary Collection (M34), which draw inspiration from the mystical colors of the aurora at dawn. These models include the M34 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase, limited to 300 units, and the M34 F7 Semi-Skeleton, limited to 200 units. Both will be available from October 24, 2024.
Design and Inspiration
The new models showcase the beauty of the aurora through their mother-of-pearl dials and gradient-painted finishes, offering a serene yet captivating design. Inspired by the “Perseus” constellation, these watches combine the sharp and powerful case shape of the M34 collection with the elegance of the dawn sky’s shifting colors.
The M34 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase and M34 F7 Semi-Skeleton both feature intricate details, such as a vertically gradient dial with soft gray tones, mimicking the subtle interplay of dawn light and the aurora. The mother-of-pearl dial changes appearance depending on the angle, creating a dynamic visual experience. The clear view is enhanced by double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, providing a clean and vivid display for watch enthusiasts.
Technical Excellence
Both models are equipped with high-quality automatic movements, the in-house caliber F7M65 (Mechanical Moon Phase) and caliber F7F44 (Semi-Skeleton). The Mechanical Moon Phase model offers a moon phase complication, while both models feature a 50-hour power reserve and an impressive daily accuracy of +15 seconds to -5 seconds. These precise movements are visible through the see-through sapphire case back, which also bears the “LIMITED EDITION” inscription and the unique serial number of each watch.
The cases and metal bands are crafted from SUS316L stainless steel, with a polished mirror finish created using Zaratsu polishing, enhancing the sharp design of the M34 collection. The H-type metal band is designed for maximum comfort, suitable for any occasion, and both models come with an additional calf leather strap certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), highlighting the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
Features and Availability
Both models feature 10-bar water resistance, power reserve indicators, and stop-seconds functionality. The Mechanical Moon Phase also comes with a moon phase correction tool. The M34 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase is limited to 300 units, while the M34 F7 Semi-Skeleton is limited to 200 units.
These models will be available through Orient Star’s Prestige Shops and the official online store “with ORIENT STAR.”
Conclusion
Orient Star’s new M34 Limited Edition models capture the enchanting beauty of the aurora at dawn, blending sophisticated design with high-performance mechanics. These watches are ideal for collectors who value both aesthetics and functionality.
