Orient Star M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase: A Celestial Timepiece

Orient Star, the esteemed Japanese watchmaker renowned for its precision and innovation, unveils the latest addition to its Classic Collection M45: the M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase model. This exquisite timepiece combines cutting-edge design with celestial inspiration to offer watch enthusiasts a truly captivating experience.

Inspired by the ethereal beauty of the M45 Pleiades star cluster that adorns the night sky, the M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase features a stunning grey gradation dial that evokes the mystique of the cosmos. The dial’s intricate design represents an occultation, or overlapping, of the Pleiades and the moon, capturing the enchanting allure of celestial phenomena.

Building upon the success of the Classic Collection M45 launched in 2023, the M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase model takes innovation to new heights with its mesmerizing dial design. Crafted using complex manufacturing processes and advanced technologies, the dial boasts a stamped pattern representing the infinite stars of the Pleiades, which shimmer and dance with the changing angle of light. A unique gradation technique is then applied to achieve a seamless transition from grey at the center to black at the outer edge, creating a visual masterpiece reminiscent of the expanding universe.

The dial features a dual-plate structure, with the power reserve indicator positioned at 12 o’clock and the moon phase, date hand, and date display elegantly arranged at 6 o’clock. The black Roman numeral indices, printed in multiple layers, add depth and dimension to the dial, while the grey-plated hour and minute hands blend seamlessly with the celestial backdrop. The case, crafted from high-quality stainless steel (SUS316L) and finished with deep black plating, further enhances the timepiece’s celestial allure.

Limited to just 120 pieces worldwide, each M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase model is engraved with a unique serial number, adding to its exclusivity and collector appeal. With its celestial-inspired design and meticulous craftsmanship, the M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase invites watch enthusiasts to embark on a cosmic journey through time.
