Distinguished Japanese watchmaker Orient Star has announced a Next Generation addition to its Mechanical Moon Phase collection, originally unveiled in 2017.
This newcomer boasts a flowing water motif on its dial. The soft curves of the stamped design, reminiscent of a flowing river in shades of navy and grey. Complementing the motif are Roman numeral indices, adding a touch of classic sophistication to the overall aesthetic.
Crafted with typical attention to detail, the Next Generation Orient Star model features a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, ensuring optimal visibility without unwanted glare.
The case and metal bracelet are constructed from high-quality corrosion-resistant stainless steel (SUS316L), guaranteeing longevity and durability. The strap, made from luxurious cordovan leather, further enhances the overall opulence of the timepiece.

Underneath this captivating exterior lies a new in-house movement, the caliber F7M62, a refinement of the caliber 46 series launched in 1971. This innovative movement provides the new timepiece with a substantial 50-hour power reserve, ensuring reliability for the modern wearer, and reliable high accuracy of +15 seconds to −5 seconds per day.
