Description
Orient Star has launched the M34 F8 Date, the flagship of the Contemporary Collection M34.
This white dial model available in a limited edition of 160 pieces.With a unique dial design, inspired by the Perseid meteor shower from the Perseus constellation, and a state-of-the-art high-performance movement mounted with a silicon escape wheel, the M34 F8 Date flagship model paves a new path for Orient Star.
Like Perseus lighting up the night sky with multiple shooting stars, the Contemporary Collection M34 offers Orient Star’s most varied product line up to date. The collection’s flagship, the M34 F8 Date, was developed to showcase Orient Star’s in-house watchmaking system using advanced technologies.
The M34 F8 Date’s dial features a traditional design comprising of a three-hand dial of hour, minute and centre seconds, a date display at 3 o’clock. Orient Star’s original power reserve indicators sit at 12 o’clock, while the dial also features a hand-carved pattern depicting Perseid meteor showers. The white dial model is as lustrous as a meteor showering down in the dawning sky, giving the impression of auspicious light.
The M34 F8 Date’s new movement features advanced technology. The automatic mechanical in-house calibre F8N64 is mounted with a silicon escape wheel, which has become one of Orient Star’s signature technologies since first making an appearance in the 2021 Skeleton model celebrating the brand’s 70th anniversary. It also offers high accuracy of +15 seconds to –5 seconds per day and a power reserve of 60 hours. The improved torque facilitates better movement of the long hands. The movement, particularly the rotor’s chamfered Geneva stripes, glimmers beautifully through the see-through sapphire crystal caseback.
Both the sharp, powerful 40 mm diameter case inspired by the Greek hero Perseus, and the elegant metal straps providing optimum comfort are made of high quality stainless steel (SUS316L). Coupled with the water resistance to 10 bar, this makes the M34 F8 Date an attractive watch suitable for many occasions and styles.
