rient Star Classic Rose Gold, mini pictorial review

I receive this Orient Star Classic WZ0031DE from Orient at May 1st 2009
they just launch this series in April 2009

I once told Orient that I need an elegant rose gold watch..
When new catalogue comes out, I ve been eyeing for this watch

after I receive it... I know this is the one
I got everything I need in this watch

It's automatic, it can be automatic and hand wound also
this watch need only 10 wound to max 40 hours power reserve
- I feel like owning a Spring Drive seiko hahaha
I dont have to wear it daily, just need +/- 10 seconds, to 10 times wound the crown.. walaaaa
40 hours power is ready to go


it has Day dial in retrograde styel
it has Date dial
it has power reserve

superb finishing, rose gold combination of brushed and polished rose gold
superb leather strap with excelent comfy Orient star deployant

it goes well for Man and Woman ...
I just like to share some pictures


I am still doing a full review... so I post in Image gallery to show some pictures



Dial of the watch :
Consist of two layer : lower layer and upper layer. It is so beautifully done, how the 2 dial perfectly each each other
Upper layer consist of two pattern : outer pattern and inner patter
Lower layer is the sub dial..

Watch has 3 Sub Dial - each sub dial is decorated by rose gold border in various style
Each sub dial , has it owns beautiful pattern . that is embossed pattern.. not printed, embossed pattern.. how incredible the detail from each embossed subdial pattern


I still try to get the best pictures with my pocket cam. its so hard
I deliberately give harsh light , in order to try to show the multiple pattern of dial and subdial.. Later on, if I could get better pictures. i would update







Side profile of the watch..
It consist of the combination of brushed and polished Rose Gold, with double countour edge..
no sharp edge.. the lug hugs the wrist
Crown its signed crafted not laser crafted






size comes later.. still in office dont have the tool to presicely measure each detail

Leather bracelet is very high quality leather.. brown smooth leather.. sticth
thick and suple
comes with Orient star signed deployant.. full rose gold



Sapphire crystal is so nice.. it is slight dome but very beautiful dome
minimalistic yet so elegant



but it is not AR coated




Sharing some of pictures, wrist shots and woman's wrist shot
Sharing some of pictures, wrist shots and woman's wrist shot











It could worn by woman very nicely


thank you all
