Like Perseus lighting up the night sky with multiple shooting stars, the M34 offers Orient Star’s most varied product line up to date. The collection’s flagship, the M34 F8 Date, was developed to showcase Orient Star’s in-house watchmaking system using advanced technologies.
The M34 F8 Date’s dial features a traditional design comprising of a three-hand dial of hour, minute and centre seconds, a date display at 3 o’clock. Orient Star’s original power reserve indicators sit at 12 o’clock, while the dial also features a hand-carved pattern depicting Perseid meteor showers. The dial on the RE-BX0004L is further enhanced by the blue colour, depicting the night sky.
This captivating colouring, expressive of the deep blue universe, is achieved using Epson’s optical multilayer technology, which creates a colour tone effect on a metal plate. The optical multilayer film controls light reflectance and transmittance through multiple layers of nano-thin transparent film, to produce an effect which would not be possible with normal paintwork.
Furthermore, due to the dual curved sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides (SAR coating), the glossiness of the white dial and the intricate pattern on the blue dial can be admired clearly.
