Orient Star 55th Anniversary Model (Manufactured in 2006)

Re-creates the atmosphere of the 1960s Dynamic

Diameter: 34 mm, Thickness: 10.5 mm

Ivory-colored bombé dial, box-shaped crystal glass

Comes with a "Koshu Inden case"

Extremely charming, with a rich vintage and retro feel

The rough finish of the movement’s decoration is a drawback

Since this specific movement isn’t necessary, I’d like them to develop a dedicated thin manual-winding movement

Orient Star 55th Anniversary

Case diameter: 34 mm

A rare hand-wound model without a date display

Box crystal glass (unfortunately not sapphire)

Comes with a special ‘Koshu Inden case’

Of all the ORIENT designs, I particularly like the retrograde and world time models

High-precision adjustment of -5s to +10s, identical to that of the original (ORIENT STAR ROYAL)

The dial features a map of the world, with Egypt alone highlighted in silver

The caseback glass is engraved with a pyramid and the Sphinx, whilst the rotor bears an engraving of the goddess Nekhbet

A special logo is featured on the dial, the crown and the bracelet clasp

A model manufactured in 2009

Orient has reissued a few of its older diver’s watches; I wish they’d reissue this one too.

And I’d love to see the new and old models side by side.

When I bought it, people said it was ‘an unusual colour, not quite typical of Nomos’, but it seems the times have finally caught up with this watch.
