Watch Description
The Modern Skeleton of limited-edition model from the series incorporating dial colours representing the sky and the sea connecting the world, began with the desire of Orient Star to be worn by people around the globe. Inspired by the seaside at dawn, the model depicts beautiful sea and sky scenes just after the sun has risen. The pink gold colour on the bezel, hands, and indices symbolises the warm light of the sun, while the gradation from green in the center of the dial to navy blue on the outer edges symbolises the emerald green of the lapping waves and the dark blue of the sky. And it is blending the mechanical appeal of a skeleton watch with a simple contemporary design. The unique feature is the large window at the 9 o’clock position showing the oscillation of the balance wheel, and the bold open work dial, revealing glimpses of the in-house movement. The hands with brushed and mirror finishing give improved visibility with touches of Luminous Light, while the layered dial gives a sense of depth, enhancing the mechanical watch’s presence and style. Sallaz polishing gives the case design a crisp, bright finish. This commitment to the finest detail extends to the sharp appearance of the lugs with their acute slope. The metal bracelet displays different finishes to compliment its three-dimensional multi-sided links.
