Orient Star has released two new M34 F8 Date models from the Contemporary Collection M34, featuring dial designs inspired by the Perseid meteor shower and a state-of-the-art high-performance movement mounted with a silicon escape wheel.
One model is made using a world-first nanoparticle metal multilayering technology on a watch dial, a black dial limited to 160 pieces, while the other has a newly added green-coloured dial. The beautiful designs that express the vast depths of space enhance the appeal of Orient Star’s flagship model.
Contemporary Collection M34, inspired by the constellation Perseus with numerous meteors lighting up the night sky, offers the most diverse Orient Star line-up. The M34 F8 Date is a top-tier flagship model that showcases Orient Star’s in-house watchmaking using advanced technologies.
The M34 F8 Date features a classic design with three central hands, a date display at 3 o’clock, and a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock. The limited-edition black dial showcases the Perseid meteor shower using world-first nanoparticle metal multilayering technology. This innovative technique layers ultra-fine metal particles to create a deep, intricate design, while the hairline and mirror-finished hands and diamond-cut date window add contrast and dynamism to the dial.
The green dial model features intricate stamped patterns inspired by the Perseid meteor shower. Using in-house developed optical multilayer film technology, the colours and patterns shift beautifully depending on the viewing angle, creating a deep-space effect that normal painted dials can’t replicate.
Each dial is crafted at the Dial Studio of the Shinshu Watch Studio in Nagano, Japan, where expert artisans handle everything from surface finishing to hand crafting, bringing Orient Star’s high-precision designs to life.
The M34 F8 Date features the in-house automatic calibre F8N64, equipped with a silicon escape wheel, a signature Orient Star technology. It offers impressive accuracy (+15/-5 seconds per day) and a 60-hour power reserve. The movement, with its chamfered Geneva stripes, sparkles through the see-through sapphire crystal case-back.
The M34 F8 Date also features a dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective SAR coating, a 40mm case inspired by Perseus, and a comfortable, durable stainless steel bracelet (SUS316L). With water resistance up to 10 bar, this timepiece combines stunning aesthetics with practical everyday functionality.
