This 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 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.
