Male watches Orient Star RE-BT0006L M45 F7 Classic Moon Phase

The Orient Star RE-BT0006L M45 F7 Classic Moon Phase watch offers an unusual yet clean dial and an elegant design, making it a suitable accessory for a shirt or jacket. Its combination of features also makes it a great choice for everyday wear.

The latest version of the Orient Star Classic Moon Phase is based on the original 2017 design, when the brand launched its first mechanical watch with a moon phase function in the Classic collection. The design retains the classic Roman numerals at the hour positions and the Orient Star logo at the centre of the dial, which is visible only depending on the angle of the light.
The moon phase display has been significantly redesigned. The luminous moon and stars are now set against a dark blue night sky, on which the stars appear sharper and brighter.
This new, carefully executed design boasts the excellent quality and meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with ORIENT STAR. 

The watch stands out for its finish, distinctive design, and the lines and details of its case, steel strap and dial. The case of the Orient RE-BT0006L00B watch is made of stainless steel. Inside is the mechanical Orient F7M42 movement with automatic winding and a 50-hour power reserve. The movement also features a seconds hand that stops when setting the time, known as hacking, and a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock. The open heart at 9 o’clock reveals the movement’s balance wheel, while the date and moon phase are displayed in a subdial at 6 o’clock. The movement, which operates at a frequency of 21600 vibrations/hour, can be observed through the transparent case back. The case back is protected by a sapphire crystal.

The distinctive blue dial, with an embossed OS logo at its centre, offers good legibility and is protected by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. In addition to the special dial with its embossed logo, details include delicate silver leaf-shaped hands, a signed crown, and the finish of the case and steel strap with transitions between polished and brushed surfaces. The water resistance of this model is 50 m, so the watch can withstand normal contact with water, such as rain, and an occasional shower. The case is complemented by a five-link steel strap with a butterfly clasp. With a case diameter of 41 mm, the watch is suitable for most men’s wrists.

The watch also comes with a smooth black leather strap made from very high-quality Cordovan leather. This fine horse leather is particularly durable and is distinguished by its subtle sheen. Thanks to its distinctive appearance, the Orient Star RE-BT0006L M45 F7 Classic Moon Phase is a great choice when selecting an elegant men’s watch.
