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.
This model’s dial has a stamped pattern expressing the countless stars of the M45 Pleiades star cluster, and a monotone gradation transitioning from grey in the centre to black on the outer edge using uniquely formulated paint. In addition, the thick, clear coating applied with a wrapping technique portrays the depths of the universe stretching into eternity.
Equipped with an in-house silicon escape wheel and 70-hour power reserve, calibre F8A62 is characterized by a bridge with a cut-out allowing the blue escape wheel to be viewed from the see-through case back. It also features Geneva stripes evoking star trails, a crescent-shaped window, and a revamped moon phase display that now features a moon motif made of mother-of-pearl and stars scattered against a lustrous night sky.
