DETAILS
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.
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 white dial model is as lustrous as a meteor showering down in the dawning sky, giving the impression of auspicious light.
Both the sharp, powerful 40 mm diameter case inspired by the Greek hero Perseus, and the elegant metal straps providing optimum comfort are made of high quality stainless steel (SUS316L). Coupled with the water resistance to 100m, this makes the M34 F8 Date an attractive watch suitable for many occasions and styles.
The automatic in-house calibre, F8N64, is mounted with a silicon escape wheel, which has become one of Orient Star’s signature technologies since first making an appearance in 2021. The movement offers high accuracy of +15 seconds to -5 seconds per day.
The glossiness of the white dial and intricate pattern on the blue dial can be admired clearly, thanks to dual curved sapphire glass with super anti-reflective coating.
