Viridian Starfall: A New Glow for Orient Star
Orient Star has unveiled the M34 F8 Date Green, a new watch that elegantly combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Featuring a striking green dial that is both embossed and coated with an optical multi-layer film, the watch showcases a unique aesthetic reminiscent of higher-end models. Its in-house F8 movement, a descendant of the brand's 46-series from 1971, offers a 60-hour power reserve and incorporates an innovative silicon escape wheel for improved durability. The case and bracelet are crafted from 316L stainless steel and finished with Zaratsu polishing, creating a refined look suitable for various occasions. With a diameter of 40 mm and a water resistance of 100 meters, the M34 is designed for versatility. Priced at $2,900, it presents exceptional value given its sophisticated features and in-house manufacturing. Orient Star, which has a legacy predating Grand Seiko, continues to provide high-quality timepieces at competitive prices, appealing to both seasoned collectors and newcomers alike. The M34 exemplifies the brand's commitment to maintaining traditional watchmaking values while embracing innovation.
