Orient Star Launches New M45 F8 Mechanical Moon Phase Hand Winding Models

Orient Star has launched two new M45 F8 Mechanical Moon Phase Hand Winding models from its Classic Collection M45, featuring a regular model and a limited-edition model of 140 pieces. The regular model depicts the gentle moon in the still of the night and the slow passage of time, while the limited-edition model portrays a mystical scene of the star cluster Pleiades and the moon, attracting watch enthusiasts with irresistible appeals.

The Classic Collection M45 is composed of classical designs symbolizing the grandeur of the universe and eternal passage of time – themes connected to the star cluster Pleiades. The new M45 F8 Mechanical Moon Phase Hand Winding model has a new, minimalist design expressing the theme of “a graceful passage of time”, and is composed of hour and minute hands to tell the time, as well as power reserve indicator and moon phase display, both iconic Orient Star features.

The new models come in two different designs. The regular model with white dial depicts a scene of the moon shining in the stillness of night. The fine radial pattern of the dial and thick, clear coating applied with a wrapping technique emphasise the blue leaf-shaped hand against the elegant glossiness of the background giving the watch a sense of sophisticated classicism. Also memorable is the long minute hand that extends to the minute scale, with its tip slightly rounded as if to mimic the curve of the glass. The leisurely flow of time is expressed through the omission of a second hand and the absence of scales on the power reserve indicator and moon phase display. The dual curved sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides (SAR coating) allows you to admire the beautiful, elegant dial in its entirety.

The limited-edition model’s grey gradation dial portrays a beautiful scene of the star cluster Pleiades and the moon mysteriously glowing in the dark. This is the second time exploring the theme of occultation, or the overlapping of the moon and Pleiades, that was first expressed with the M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase model released in 2024. The new model’s dial has a stamped pattern expressing the countless stars of the M45 Pleiades star cluster, and a monotone gradation transitioning from grey in the centre to black on the outer edge using uniquely formulated paint. In addition, the thick, clear coating applied with a wrapping technique portrays the depths of the universe stretching into eternity. The dial also features multiple rounds of pad printing on the Roman numerals to create a sense of contour and shading, grey hands with two different finishes (mirror and hairline), and silver-coloured dots expressing the most radiant stars in the Pleiades star cluster.

Both the regular and limited-edition models are powered by the newly-developed hand winding in-house calibre F8A62 – a movement with 2 hands that is not only in keeping with the theme of simplicity, but also takes the watch’s pursuit of classical designs further with its thinness. Equipped with an in-house silicon escape wheel and 70-hour power reserve, calibre F8A62 is characterized by a bridge with a cut-out allowing the blue escape wheel to be viewed from the see-through case back. It also features Geneva stripes evoking star trails, a crescent-shaped window, and a revamped moon phase display that now features a moon motif made of mother-of-pearl and stars scattered against a lustrous night sky. The attractiveness of the moon phase is elevated by the exquisite finishing and the gentle expression of the mother-of-pearl moon.

Orient Star Releases Updated Designs of the Original Mechanical Moon Phase Model

Orient Star has launched three new M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase models from its Classic Collection M45. Returning to the original Mechanical Moon Phase while simultaneously introducing some updates to the design, the two new regular models, and limited-edition model of 190 pieces featuring a new light blue dial, revive the charms of the classical mechanical watch for watch enthusiasts.

Since its launch in 2017, Mechanical Moon Phase has gained worldwide acclaim for its design and functionality, becoming an iconic Orient Star model and an established favourite among watch aficionados with designs incorporating three elements: Orient Star’s iconic power reserve indicator, moon phase mechanism with date display and date hand, and semi-skeleton window showing the inner workings of the mechanical movement. The concept of the model that marks the slow passing of time in our increasingly digitized society has also been recognized for enhancing the value of mechanical watches.

The M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase is an iconic model from the Classic Collection M45, named after the star cluster M45 Pleiades and characterized by a universal and serene design expressing the eternal passage of time. The new models consolidate the various dial layouts released since the original model first came out in 2017, and update some of the detailed design elements.

The new models return to a design that closely resembles the original Mechanical Moon Phase. They include classical Roman numerals on the outer edge of the dial, and OS logo that is only visible depending on the angle of light, positioned in the centre of the dial within the ring separating the two sectors. A notable update has been made to one of the most original features of this watch: the expression of the moon phase. The moon’s backdrop has been changed to a vibrant, deep-blue-coloured night sky, and the stars appear sharper due to improved brightness. The dual curved sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides (SAR coating) blocks approximately ninety-nine percent of reflections, providing high visibility from every angle for a clear view of the entire watch dial.

The rounded case and metal bracelet are made of high-quality stainless steel (SUS316L) and the bracelet now comes with short-pitch links that are convenient for fine-tuning the size for a better fit on the wrist. Both regular models with white and navy blue dials, and limited-edition model featuring a new light blue dial colour, come with an additional strap made of cordovan or leather, allowing the wearer to enjoy different facets of the watch.

The automatic (with hand winding) in-house calibre F7M42 provides high accuracy of +15 seconds to –5 seconds per day and power reserve of 50 hours, and is visible from the sapphire crystal see-through case back.

Orient Star Launches New M34 F7 Semi Skeleton Models with Simple, Beautiful Designs

Orient Star has released two new M34 F7 Semi Skeleton models from the Contemporary M34 Collection. In this latest collection, created with a focus on simplicity, the navy blue dial model stands out with a radial pattern reminiscent of the Perseid meteor shower, capturing the profound night sky.

Orient Star continues to refine its technology, design and quality to produce “shining star” watches, and M34 F7 Semi Skeleton embodies the brand’s vision through its dial colours, design details and materials. The new models feature a dual-layered dial structure that adds three-dimensionality to the design, while the dial’s monochromatic look makes the watch easy to style for a variety of occasions.

The new models come with navy blue and white dials. The navy blue dial conjures the image of the Perseid meteor shower with its elegant radial pattern and a rich, glossy finish achieved through a thick clear wrapping process—capturing the lustrous, deep night sky. The dual curved sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides (SAR coating) provides a clear view of the dial from every angle.

The sharp, bold design of the case – inspired by the constellation of Perseus which the M34 is a part of – is beautifully enhanced by the contrast between the fine hairline and mirror finishes. The metal bracelet is made from the same high-quality stainless steel (SUS316L) as the case, with short-pitch links for better comfort and fit on the wrist.

The new M34 F7 Semi Skeleton models are powered by the automatic (with hand winding) in-house movement F7F44, which provides stable accuracy of +15 seconds to –5 seconds per day and power reserve of 50 hours. The movement is meticulously finished with Geneva stripes and chamfered edges, and is visible through the see-through sapphire crystal case back.&nbsp;

Orient Star Launches 2025 Limited Edition Models with the Theme
of Keshiki – Emotional Colours that Connect the World


Orient Star has launched a series of limited-edition watches inspired by the colours of the sky
and sea that connect the world. These limited-edition 2025 models are released under the
theme of Keshiki, meaning beautiful Japanese landscapes, and include three new models:
Modern Skeleton and Semi Skeleton from the Contemporary Collection, and the smaller Classic
Semi Skeleton model from the Classic Collection. The design theme is snowlight, and the dialʼs
various shades of blue capture the soft glow of a snowy evening, where the reflection of light
gently brightens the darkness. The special models are engraved with individual serial numbers
on the case back.


The limited-edition Keshiki models incorporating dial colours representing the sky and sea
connecting the world, began with the desire of Orient Star to be worn by people around the
globe. Inspired by the theme of snowlight, these models feature dials that capture a scene
where light reflects off snow-covered ground, softly illuminating the lower surroundings. The
new blue grey dial features a deep navy blue gradation in the upper half, evoking the gentle
contrast of light and shadow found in serene winter snowscapes. The quiet flow of time in the
picturesque scene lends the watches a poetic atmosphere.


The sporty Modern Skeleton and Semi Skeleton models from the Contemporary Collection
feature distinctive open work dials, the Roman numerals XII in a rose-gold colour evoking the
floating moon, as well as small-seconds, second, and power reserve hands, also in the same
colour, providing a contrast to the blue grey dial. Grey hour and minute hands blend into the
calm, snow-lit landscape. The small Classic Semi Skeleton from the Classic Collection features
an understated blue dial, with rose gold-coloured hands and crown adding a subtle flourish.


The three Keshiki models, available in a limited edition of 1,000 pieces for the Modern
Skeleton, 900 pieces for the Semi Skeleton and 600 pieces for the Classic Semi Skeleton, are
each powered by an automatic (with hand winding) in-house movement and stainless steel case
back engraved with limited edition and serial number.

Orient Adds 75th Anniversary Limited-Edition and Regular Orient
Stretto Models to its Contemporary Collection


In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Orient has released a 75th anniversary limited-edition
model as well as regular models from Orient Stretto, a new iconic series in the Contemporary
Collection. Modern, varied designs and affordable prices make the Orient Stretto a highly
attractive series for watch enthusiasts.


The word ʻstrettoʼ derives from Italian musical terminology referring to accelerating the
tempo towards a climax, lending the series a sense of an exhilaration, fitting to a busy urban
lifestyle. Orient Strettoʼs designs are based on the popular Semi Skeleton model with a theme
that expresses urban landscapes. Wedge-shaped indices evoke towering skyscrapers, while the
concentric circles beneath them suggest the arcs often seen in modern architecture. The mirror-
polished reverse-R surface on the case lugs adds a distinctive shine.


Three new 75th anniversary models are available in a limited edition of 2,500 pieces for Orient
Stretto Day &amp; Night, 2,800 pieces for Orient Stretto Semi Skeleton and 2,900 pieces for Orient
Stretto Date. The models are each based on different designs, but share common elements
commemorating the brandʼs 75th anniversary, such as the original Orient logo from 75 years
ago in cursive on the dial, and a grey tone that enhances the overall look.


Orient Strettoʼs urban designs are accentuated by a distinctive sunburst culminating in an arc,
and three-dimensional wedge-shaped indices that harmonize with the grey dial – a rare dial
colour for Orient. The orange colouring of the hands and around Luminous Light indices
provides a striking accent to the monotoned look of the watch. The see-through case back
revealing the mechanical movement is marked with a cursive inscription “Orient Since 1950
75th Anniversary” and individual serial numbers are also engraved on the back of the watch.
The models each come with a special 75th anniversary box.


The new regular Orient Stretto Date model features a date display, and comes in popular dial
colours from the Semi Skeleton line: navy blue, white and brown. The same sunburst finishing
to an arc and wedge-shaped indices as the 75th anniversary model can be found on the dial. The
case has a diameter of 38.5 mm for ease of wear and features reverse-R lugs, characteristic of
the Orient Stretto series.


Each of the dial colours represent diverse features: the model with white dial has gold-
coloured plating on the bezels, metal bracelet, hands and indices for a touch of glamour, while
the model with brown dial comes with chic rose gold-coloured plating on the bezels, and an
easy exchange strap allowing for a quick replacement of the strap for added convenience.


All the 75th anniversary limited-edition and regular models of the Orient Stretto series are
equipped with an automatic, bi-directional winding movement allowing the watch to be fully
wound in a short amount of time. The in-house movement offers stable accuracy of +25
seconds to –15 seconds per day, power reserve of 40 hours, and a case offering water
resistance to 5 bar, making this the perfect watch to comfortably wear in daily life, for any style
or occasion.


■Case back with anniversary marks and engravings.

Five small-sized models have been added to the Orient Stretto series in the Contemporary

Orient Launches Second Edition World Map Model from the Revival
Collection to Commemorate the Brandʼs 75th Anniversary


Orient has released a 75th anniversary limited-edition World Map model from its Revival
Collection which looks back on the brandʼs 75-year history to reproduce its most iconic
timepieces. This second edition revival model brings back the popular World Map, known for its
multi-coloured dial and world map motif, with a special two-toned case adorned with gold
colouring.


Orient has been loved by watch aficionados worldwide since 1950 for its creative, original
designs and the reliability of its mechanical movements. The Revival Collection features models
that have symbolised the essence of the brand through the course of its long watchmaking
history. The original designs are faithfully reproduced and enhanced with modern specifications.
The new World Map model commemorating Orientʼs 75th anniversary follows the first Revival
Collection release in 2021, and is available in a limited edition of 1,500 pieces.


With its retro look, World Map is one of the watches that truly represents Orientʼs history and
the era. Its origin can be traced back to World Diver* released in 1969, a model that combined
the characteristics of a diverʼs watch and travel watch in a style that is uniquely Orient. World
Diver itself was conceived as a successor to the legendary and rare Calendar Auto Orient
Swimmer World Trip* released in 1964 – the year that Japan lifted restrictions on overseas
travel to the Japanese public. The modelʼs simplified world time function symbolized the
aspirations of Japanese people who dreamed of travelling overseas: it allowed users to estimate
the time in various regions around the world by rotating the 24-hour display inner ring using the
crown at the four oʼclock position on the case, until it aligned with the dialʼs world map as seen
from the southern hemisphere.


The new World Map model commemorating Orientʼs 75th anniversary is equipped with the
same design and functions as the first revival model, along with special specifications such as
placing the Orient logo in cursive from the 1950s on a multi-coloured dial that faithfully
reproduces the original model from 1969, as well as adorning the case rim and crown with gold
colouring. The case back is also engraved with a cursive inscription “Orient Since 1950 75th
Anniversary” and individual serial numbers. The watch comes in a special 75th anniversary box.


The new modelʼs two-toned, stainless steel and gold-coloured case reproduces the unique,
retro-futuristic design of the original model while being updated to achieve water resistance to
20 bar. The integrated metal bracelet offers a comfortable fit and the automatic (with hand
winding) in-house calibre F6922 provides stable accuracy. The 75th anniversary World Map
model is a must-have both for dedicated Orient fans and collectors around the world seeking
rare, one-of-a-kind watches.


*Neither of the original models meet current ISO standards as there were no clear standards for diversʼ
watches at the time. Both models are now discontinued.


Orient celebrates its 75th anniversary with the launch of several new limited-edition timepieces across its Orient Star, Orient Stretto, and Revival collections. The new Keshiki-themed Orient Star 2025 models draw inspiration from Japanese winter landscapes and feature elegant snowlight-inspired blue-grey dials. Limited to 1,000 pieces or fewer per model, these mechanical watches showcase the brand’s craftsmanship with open-worked designs and engraved serial numbers.

At the same time, Orient introduces the Orient Stretto series in its Contemporary Collection — including both 75th anniversary limited models and standard releases. Featuring urban-inspired dials, wedge-shaped indices and sport-lux styling, the Stretto watches reflect a modern city aesthetic while maintaining Orient’s signature mechanical performance.

Additionally, Orient unveils a solar-powered compact Stretto line, designed for everyday wear with fashionable dials and slim cases, and a 75th anniversary World Map Revival model, reissuing an iconic 1969 design with a retro multicoloured dial and world-time function.

Together, these releases highlight Orient’s rich heritage, modern engineering and continued innovation in Japanese watchmaking. <h2>Orient Star Launches 2025 Limited Edition Models with the Theme

</h2>Orient has released five small-sized models with modern designs and convenient solar-powered
movement from the new Orient Stretto series in the Contemporary Collection. The attractive
watch features fashionable dials and a compact size that fits comfortably on slender arms.
<img style="width: 100%;" src="https://imagedelivery.net/H6_s_Eb_ylTWnSEV3HlmYQ/07b1f9c6-d31c-499b-7392-d5041aa23500/public" alt="Image" /><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://imagedelivery.net/H6_s_Eb_ylTWnSEV3HlmYQ/5e71d5ab-bd26-4b74-0a58-11a1186c8400/public" alt="Image" />Five small-sized models have been added to the Orient Stretto series in the Contemporary
Collection. Three models with white, navy blue and brown dials come in a case diameter of 32.1
mm with metal bracelet. Each features a distinctive dial design with a sunburst finishing
culminating in an arc and three-dimensional wedge-shaped indices.
The remaining two models feature an original dial design with classical Roman numerals,
diamond-cut indices, and glitter printing to give the watch a mystical expression. Both models
come with an easy exchange leather strap for added convenience. The leather strap is easily
detachable by moving the lever of the spring bar, allowing the wearer to change the appearance
of the watch to suit their own preferred style.
Each model is equipped with a solar-powered quartz movement that converts energy
obtained from sunlight and other sources into electricity, eliminating the need to replace
batteries and enabling a thinner, more elegant case design. Enhancing the inherent
attractiveness of the watch with advanced technology and designs that suit the sensibilities of
the times, these models are sure to become must-have items for your daily style.

Collection to Commemorate the Brandʼs 75th Anniversary
</h2>Orient has released a 75th anniversary limited-edition World Map model from its Revival
Collection which looks back on the brandʼs 75-year history to reproduce its most iconic
timepieces. This second edition revival model brings back the popular World Map, known for its
multi-coloured dial and world map motif, with a special two-toned case adorned with gold
colouring.
<img style="width: 100%;" src="https://imagedelivery.net/H6_s_Eb_ylTWnSEV3HlmYQ/8021703e-76a3-4576-d131-820f968f1200/public" alt="Image" /><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://imagedelivery.net/H6_s_Eb_ylTWnSEV3HlmYQ/cf34f140-3f6c-4c9e-41b5-52c855db7000/public" alt="Image" />Orient has been loved by watch aficionados worldwide since 1950 for its creative, original
designs and the reliability of its mechanical movements. The Revival Collection features models
that have symbolised the essence of the brand through the course of its long watchmaking
history. The original designs are faithfully reproduced and enhanced with modern specifications.
The new World Map model commemorating Orientʼs 75th anniversary follows the first Revival
Collection release in 2021, and is available in a limited edition of 1,500 pieces.
With its retro look, World Map is one of the watches that truly represents Orientʼs history and
the era. Its origin can be traced back to World Diver* released in 1969, a model that combined
the characteristics of a diverʼs watch and travel watch in a style that is uniquely Orient. World
Diver itself was conceived as a successor to the legendary and rare Calendar Auto Orient
Swimmer World Trip* released in 1964 – the year that Japan lifted restrictions on overseas
travel to the Japanese public. The modelʼs simplified world time function symbolized the
aspirations of Japanese people who dreamed of travelling overseas: it allowed users to estimate
the time in various regions around the world by rotating the 24-hour display inner ring using the
crown at the four oʼclock position on the case, until it aligned with the dialʼs world map as seen
from the southern hemisphere.
The new World Map model commemorating Orientʼs 75th anniversary is equipped with the
same design and functions as the first revival model, along with special specifications such as
placing the Orient logo in cursive from the 1950s on a multi-coloured dial that faithfully
reproduces the original model from 1969, as well as adorning the case rim and crown with gold
colouring. The case back is also engraved with a cursive inscription “Orient Since 1950 75th
Anniversary” and individual serial numbers. The watch comes in a special 75th anniversary box.
The new modelʼs two-toned, stainless steel and gold-coloured case reproduces the unique,
retro-futuristic design of the original model while being updated to achieve water resistance to
20 bar. The integrated metal bracelet offers a comfortable fit and the automatic (with hand
winding) in-house calibre F6922 provides stable accuracy. The 75th anniversary World Map
model is a must-have both for dedicated Orient fans and collectors around the world seeking
rare, one-of-a-kind watches.
*Neither of the original models meet current ISO standards as there were no clear standards for diversʼ
watches at the time. Both models are now discontinued.

Orient celebrates its 75th anniversary with the launch of several new limited-edition timepieces across its Orient Star, Orient Stretto, and Revival collections. The new Keshiki-themed Orient Star 2025 models draw inspiration from Japanese winter landscapes and feature elegant snowlight-inspired blue-grey dials. Limited to 1,000 pieces or fewer per model, these mechanical watches showcase the brand’s craftsmanship with open-worked designs and engraved serial numbers.

At the same time, Orient introduces the Orient Stretto series in its Contemporary Collection — including both 75th anniversary limited models and standard releases. Featuring urban-inspired dials, wedge-shaped indices and sport-lux styling, the Stretto watches reflect a modern city aesthetic while maintaining Orient’s signature mechanical performance.

Additionally, Orient unveils a solar-powered compact Stretto line, designed for everyday wear with fashionable dials and slim cases, and a 75th anniversary World Map Revival model, reissuing an iconic 1969 design with a retro multicoloured dial and world-time function.

Together, these releases highlight Orient’s rich heritage, modern engineering and continued innovation in Japanese watchmaking.

Orient Marks 75th Anniversary with Limited-Edition Releases Showcasing Japanese Craftsmanship and Innovation

Forget January resolutions that fizzled out by February. July is the real midyear moment—the month that signals it's time to reset, refresh, and recalibrate your living space. After six months in your current setup, you know what's working and what isn't. July offers the clarity to see your space with fresh eyes and the motivation to make meaningful changes for the entire second half of the year.

Small, intentional changes can completely transform how you experience your daily routines. A new centerpiece sofa, a statement accent chair, a thoughtfully chosen bedside table, or a luxurious silk comforter aren't just purchases—they're investments in your comfort for the months ahead.

July presents the perfect psychological sweet spot for home transformation. Unlike the pressure of New Year's resolutions or overwhelming summer cleaning, July offers a balanced approach to change. Research consistently shows that our physical environment directly impacts our mental well-being and productivity. When your home feels refreshed and intentional, you feel more grounded and capable of tackling whatever the second half of the year might bring.

Your sofa is the centerpiece around which your entire living space revolves. SM Home's July sofa selection offers pieces that instantly elevate your room's aesthetic and functionality. Pair that new sofa with a carefully chosen accent chair, and you've created a complete transformation. An accent chair serves as the exclamation point of your design—the piece that shows you understand style while providing additional comfort.

Creating a restful environment starts with the details. A thoughtfully chosen bedside table does more than hold your essentials—it creates organization, reduces bedtime stress, and helps establish evening routines that lead to better sleep quality. When everything has its place, your bedroom becomes a sanctuary rather than another source of daily chaos.

The perfect silk comforter serves as the ultimate transitional piece—ideal for air-conditioned warmer nights, upcoming cooler months, or cozy Sunday afternoons. It's comfort you can literally wrap yourself in, making any space instantly more inviting and movie marathons warm and fuzzy.

When you upgrade key pieces in your home, you're investing in dividends that pay out in daily comfort for years to come. Quality pieces don't just look better—they feel better and last longer. Your home is your most important environment, so improvements here have an outsized impact on your overall quality of life.

A sofa that supports your back properly, an accent chair that makes reading a pleasure, a bedside table that keeps essentials organized, a comforter that provides perfect warmth—these aren't luxuries, they're tools for living well. Creating spaces that support your goals for the rest of 2025 means thinking beyond immediate aesthetics to long-term functionality and satisfaction.

Your Midyear Transformation Starts Now

This July, SM Home invites you to discover the transformative power of a midyear home refresh. With special sale pricing available until the end of July, there's never been a better time to invest in comfort pieces that will enhance your daily life.

The connection between our physical spaces and mental state is daily reality. When you walk into a room that reflects your style and supports your comfort, you feel more capable, creative, and at peace.

The second half of 2025 is waiting. Make sure your home is ready to support everything you want to achieve.
