RE-BQ0004Y","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor enthusiasts exploring Japanese domestic watch culture, Orient stands out as one of the most respected yet understated names in the industry. Established as an independent watch manufacture in 1950, the company built its foundations on in house movement development, honoring a tradition that began with founder Shogoro Yoshida in 1901. While other major brands pursued global expansion, Orient remained dedicated to its loyal domestic fanbase, delivering exceptional craftsmanship at an accessible price point. Joining the Seiko Epson Group in the early 2000s only strengthened that mission, ensuring the brand retained its independence while benefiting from advanced manufacturing resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 500px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/7833\/4784\/files\/OrientStarRE-BQ0004Y-05.jpg?v=1790236385\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #696969;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrient Star Contemporary Three Hand 75th Anniversary Cooper - Ltd Ed 900pcs Ref.

Mirroring the three pillar structure of Grand Seiko, Orient Star categorizes its models across Classic, Sports, and Contemporary lines. The brand historical timeline includes landmark releases like the original 1951 chronometer style dress watch, the 1965 Weekly Auto Orient King Diver, and the openwork Mon Bijou from the 1990s. Building directly on this proud lineage, the new Orient Star Contemporary Three Hand arrives as a sophisticated expression of modern Japanese dress watch design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarking the 75th anniversary of the brand this year, this release was designed as part of the Sakigake Design Project around a core concept of \"supple strength\". With the arrival of the Contemporary Three Hand, Orient Star adds an exciting chapter to its JDM dress watch lineup. The design centers on a flowing case silhouette where smooth lines sweep from lug to lug in one unbroken curve, giving the timepiece a contemporary edge that sits low and comfortably against the wrist. Turning to the face of the watch, Orient Star achieves pure visual balance by removing the signature power reserve subdial, creating an airy layout where the central three hands take full command. Free from extra display elements, the dial offers instant legibility alongside a calm aesthetic, combining clean Japanese minimalism with time tested mechanical watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 500px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/7833\/4784\/files\/OrientStarRE-BQ0004Y-02.jpg?v=1790236385\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #696969;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTop tier automatic movements \u003c\/span\u003eCaliber \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eF7542\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from solid SUS316L stainless steel, the case of the Orient Star Contemporary Three Hand hits an ideal horological sweet spot, measuring 38.7mm wide, 11.8mm thick, and 47mm lug to lug to suit almost any wrist size comfortably. Soft curves and sharply defined facets define its profile, featuring a continuous line that flows from the case through the lugs and into the bracelet as though drawn in a single stroke, wrapping naturally around the wrist with effortless fluidity. As expected from the premium tier of the brand, the housing receives a sophisticated mix of satin brushed and mirror polished finishing, highlighted by a high gloss bezel and a fully polished case back. Complete with a signed push pull crown that maintains a dependable 100m water resistance rating, the design carefully balances contrasting elements to achieve a beautifully integrated silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProtected beneath a dual curved sapphire crystal, the face of the Orient Star showcases a sunburst copper plate treated with a clear lacquer finish for impressive depth. Applied faceted hour markers sit proudly against this textured backdrop, bordered by an outer rehaut lined with crisp black printed markers for enhanced visual structure. Orient Star achieves ultimate simplicity by omitting the fan shaped power reserve gauge and date window, creating an uncluttered landscape centered on pure time display.
