This model depicts the Perseid meteor shower cascading across the night sky with nanoparticle metal multilayering technology*1. The gradation and smooth, thick, clear coating symbolise the vast depths of the universe.
* 1 The granted patent related to nanoparticle metal multilayering technology: Japan: patent no. 7639981.
The M34 F8 Date features a traditional design comprising of three centre hands of hour, minute and seconds, a date display at 3 o’clock, and Orient Star’s signature power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock.
Features
The nanoparticle metal multilayering technology is a new technique in which ink composed of nanometre-sized ultra-fine metal particles are layer injected several times onto the dial. This technology which is used in electronics, is applied to watchmaking for the first time in the world*2, resulting in the creation of extremely delicate, elaborate dials with a sense of depth.

Advanced technology is not limited to the dials but is also utilised in the latest movement. Powered by Orient Star’s in-house Caliber F8N64, this timepiece features a silicon escape wheel, ensuring high precision with a daily accuracy of +15 to -5 seconds and an impressive power reserve of over 60 hours.

Features
This model features intricate stamped patterns inspired by the Perseid meteor shower as seen in the earlier blue dial model. Enhanced with optical multilayer film technology, the design allows the colours and patterns to shift beautifully depending on the viewing angle.

This in-house developed optical multilayer technology creates colour tone effects on the metal plate by layering nano level, near-transparent films that control the reflectance and transmittance of light. With this technology, it is possible to express the deep outer space, which would not be possible with normal painted dials.
