The Orient Star RE-BW0005N00B from the M45 F8 series makes an immediate impression with its 39.5mm stainless-steel case and a mesmerising grey-to-black gradient dial that evokes the vastness of a star-filled night sky. The dial is subtly embossed with a pattern representing the Pleiades star cluster, and a refined moon-phase display, complete with a mother-of-pearl moon and scattered star motifs, gives the watch a celestial, almost poetic character. Sleek silver-tone hands glide across the dial, while a polished power-reserve indicator adds practical utility, marrying function with elegance.
“Mechanical Classic – M45 F8” stands for a line where heritage meets contemporary craftsmanship: traditional manual-wind mechanics, minimalist dial design, and careful finishing. The RE-BW0005N00B exemplifies this ethos by combining a classic hand-wound movement with a modern interpretation of astronomical beauty. The understated dial and polished case convey quiet sophistication, while the celestial motif adds an artistic flourish.
Hand-Wound Movement & Generous Power Reserve
Under the hood is Orient’s in-house calibre F8A62, a hand-wound mechanical movement delivering a robust 70-hour power reserve. The movement features a silicon escape wheel and is visible through a transparent case back, revealing Geneva-striping and a cut-out bridge that showcases the blue escape wheel, a nod to meticulous watchmaking and mechanical beauty.
Moon-Phase & Power Reserve Complications with Timeless Appeal
The moon-phase function, rendered with a mother-of-pearl moon and starry backdrop, brings depth and character to the dial, while the power-reserve indicator ensures practical awareness of remaining energy, useful for those who appreciate mechanical watches with both aesthetic and functional merit. The dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating enhances legibility and dial clarity, allowing the cosmic motif to shine through with minimal glare.
