Orient Star Launches M34 F7 Semi Skeleton Models Inspired by the Aurora

Orient Star has launched three new M34 F7 Semi Skeleton models, drawing inspiration from the stunning aurora. These timepieces feature sharp case designs and subtly colored dials, reflecting the dynamic hues of the aurora.

Space and nature are at the heart of Orient Star’s philosophy, dedicated to refining technology, design, and quality to create “shining star” watches. The M34 F7 Semi Skeleton, with its mother-of-pearl dial and gradation, captures the essence of the colorful night sky phenomenon. The sapphire crystal with super anti-reflective coating provides a clear view of the dial’s strong lines and shifting shades.

The mother-of-pearl dial is available in three captivating colors: blue, green, and charcoal grey. The charcoal grey model with a metal bracelet is a limited edition of 500 pieces, commemorating Semi Skeleton’s 20th anniversary, and includes an exchangeable calf leather strap.

The powerful case design is beautifully accentuated by the contrast of delicate hairline and mirror finishes achieved through Sallaz polishing.

Powering the M34 F7 Semi Skeleton is the automatic in-house caliber F7F44, offering high accuracy and a 50-hour power reserve. The movement’s Geneva stripes and chamfer finish are visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back.

In addition to their watchmaking endeavors, Orient Star is committed to responsible leather production through a global multi-stakeholder community. They are dedicated to building a sustainable future.
