M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase

Wintery night on Lake Tazawa

The M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase is a refined version of Orient Star’s most symbolic flagship model, featuring an in-house movement with a 50-hour power reserve. This new model, limited to 180 pieces, features a stunning brown dial, created by combining mother-of-pearl and gradation that blackens towards the circumference, evokes the surface of the lake at night, while the silvery moon represents the moon floating behind the clouds. An exchangeable metal bracelet is included with a butterfly deployant buckle with pushbuttons and half-length links to fine tune the size for optimum comfort. Part of the M45 Collection, which is named after M45 Pleiades, this constellation has long been used to mark the time and seasons. The constellation was mentioned in ‘The Pillow Book’, a collection of essays written during the mid-Heian period, more than 1,000 years ago. The M45 Collection features designs with similar classic Orient Star design language such as extended lugs, Roman numeral indices and leaf-shaped hands. This makes the Collection an ideal accent piece for formal occasions.
