M45 F8 Mechanical Moonphase
Ref: RE-BW0008B
The Orient Star "M45", named after the Pleiades Star Cluster, marks time with central hands and an overlapping moonphase-date complication.
Overview
The moon drifts through a cloudy night sky in the Orient Star M45 F8 Mechanical Moonphase, reference RE-BW0008B. Created using a special inking process that imposes numerous layers of metal nanoparticles on top of each other at Shinshu Watch Studio, the experimental dial achieves visual depth in expressing the haze of clouds moving against a starry night sky. Near the six o’clock index, a moon phase disk with inlaid moons and stars made of hand-selected mother of pearl compliments the bright roman numeral indexes, while maintaining the visual symmetry so essential to the M45’s ethos. The Orient Star reference RE-BW0008B is powered by the manufacture hand-wound caliber F8A62 with 70 hours of power reserve.
