New Orient Star Watches for 2025

Orient is announcing a number of new Orient Star watches today, adding color to some of its familiar models.

First, we have a couple of new Avantgarde Skeleton watches. Both are mechanically similar to the previous M34 models with their intricate dials and the 60 hour caliber F8 movement.

Ref. RE-BZ0004B is the stealthy variant. We’ve already seen the all-black style with the RE-BZ0002B, but this time the watch also comes fitted with a matching black plated steel bracelet.

More special, and better looking in my opinion, is RE-BZ0005G. This one has a golden case and dial with steel bezel and a brown nylon strap, and is limited to 300 pieces. I find this combination of sporty, utilitarian elements and a very elaborate skeleton dial, to be quite interesting.

Next, we have two new layered skeletons, in bright and lovely colors.

Reference RE-AV0B10G has a gold-toned dial and a brown leather strap. Ref. RE-AV0B11E comes with a steel bracelet and features a vivid mint-green dial – and, it is limited to 700 pieces. By the way, note these are the global market version, so JDM models (with RK reference numbers) we offer additional pieces of similar configuration.

Finally we have perhaps the most exciting part of the announcement – new colorways of the Orient Star Contemporary model, perhaps the more humble of current Orient Stars – but not the least attractive.

Four non-limited references are listed: RE-AU0107E, RE-AU0108G, RE-AU0109L, and RE-AU0110N, featuring green, copper, ice-blue, and grey dials, respectively – all of which are fitted with a steel bracelet.

A little unexplained mystery is reference RE-AU0111R – a striking red dial version that is mentioned in the press release, but appears on the Orient website. It is described as a limited edition, but the exact number of pieces is not specified. Is Orient teasing us, knowing full well that red dials are our weakness…?
