In the history of the Orient, models with the design of a diver’s watch can be said to be a representative collection that has built a lineage for many years since the 1960s. In the lineage of Orient Divers, the “Orient Mako” series, nicknamed “Mako”, which means blue shark, was born in 2004. This season, a limited edition model was announced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this “Orient Mako”.

The feature of this work is the blue dial with Arabic numerals, which has continued since the first model. A blue gradient paint inspired by the beautiful sea surrounding Japan was applied from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock, and a pattern with a wave motif was adopted. Orient Mako’s unique unidirectional rotating bezel, which has six indentations, divides the aluminum plate into blue and black at the 20-minute mark of the triangular marker and scale for a stylish coloring. In addition, the gorgeous golden hands and the words “Anniversary Edition” written at 4 o’clock emphasize the special feeling of the 20th anniversary.

The stainless steel case is water-resistant to 20 bar thanks to the screw back and screw-down crown. The company’s own F6922 calibre with automatic (manual winding) movement achieves stable accuracy with a daily difference of plus 25 seconds to minus 15 seconds and a drive time of more than 40 hours.

Suitable not only for avid enthusiasts and collectors, but also for users who want to coordinate diver designs with fashion, the 20th anniversary “Orient Mako” is a rare model limited to 500 pieces in Japan. The price is 57,200 yen.

【Orient Star’s “M45” Japan Limited Edition 200 Pieces】Latest Gray Gradation – Watch LIFE NEWS|Watch Life Comprehensive News Site

Epson has added the new “M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase” to the “M45” classic collection of “Orient Star” that expresses the “occultation” where “Subaru” and “Moon” overlap. A limited edition of 200 bottles will be released in Japan on June 27, 2024.

■Ref.RK-AY0122N。 SS (49mm diameter). Water resistant to 5 ATM. Automatic (Cal. F7M65). Limited to Japan 60 pieces. 330,000 yen

[See set images sold at the Prestige Shop]

The design theme of the “M45” collection, which Orient Star launched in 2023, is “Subaru,” a star cluster that mysteriously colors the night sky. The “Mechanical Moon Phase” of the blue gradient dial, which was released in April last year, caused a sensation due to its novelty and sold out quickly. Following on from the popular model, this work has been finished with a gray gradient dial that has been further refined to a new level.

The dial, which is coated with a uniquely formulated paint using a dedicated gradient machine, develops a monotone gradation that changes from gray in the center to black on the outer periphery. The paint surface was covered with a thicker, more transparent wrapping paint than usual, representing the eternity of the universe. In addition, the myriad stars expressed in a delicate patterned pattern create a sparkling scene of the open star cluster “M45 (Subaru)” in the constellation Taurus, whose expression changes depending on the angle of entry.

In this way, the gray gradient dial, which was created by making full use of complex manufacturing processes and advanced technology, has a moon phase display that combines a power reserve display at 12 o’clock and a pointer-type date calendar at 6 o’clock. The display part has a two-piece structure that is considered to be a separate body.

The black indexes with Roman numerals matching the color of the outer periphery of the dial were created by multiple overlapping prints to create an exquisite three-dimensional effect and shading, and were finished to stand out from the background. The same is true for the hands, and the gray-plated hour and minute hands blend in with the night sky with a gray gradation, but are finished separately for mirror and streaked surfaces to ensure visibility. The high-quality stainless steel case is also black-plated, representing the night sky that has not changed since ancient times throughout the timepiece.

This work, which expresses the mysterious moon and star clusters in the abyss of the night sky, and gives a sense of “time” on a cosmic scale, can only be purchased at the official Orient Star online store and the Prestige Shop. The number of sales at the official online store “with ORIENT STAR” is 60 bottles and the price is 330,000 yen, and the 140 bottles sold at the prestige shop are priced at 341,000 yen with a cordovan replacement band. It is a rare model in which the serial number is engraved for each store.
