Orient Star Standard-Date Automatic with Sapphire Crystal and Carbon Fiber Dial #DV02002B

The Orient Star Standard-Date is powered by a new Orient made 40751, 22-jewel automatic (self-winding) movement that can be hand wound and has hacking capability. The movement has a power reserve of 40 hours. A quick-set date window is at 3:00 and the hands and dots at the hour markers are treated with luminous material for viewing in the dark. The carbon fiber black dial is both sporty and dressy. The carbon fiber weave is highlighted when light moves across the dial. It is a very eye catching dial.

The case is polished at the top and bottom and brushed at the sides to break up the sheen. The crown is signed with the Orient Star logo. The bracelet is a fine combination of polished and gently brushed stainless steel. The polished parts are very smooth in order to reinforce the classic motif of the watch. The clasp is double button fold-over and proudly features the Orient Star logo engraving. The case measures at 40mm in diameter and 11.6mm thick. The lug width is 22mm and the lug-to-lug width is 47mm. All Orient Star Standard-Dates feature an exhibition case back, and the movement is fully decorated with an Orient Star logo on the oscillating weight.

The Standard-Date is the first Orient model to employ Orient’s new SAR (Super Anti-Reflective) Coating. So what’s the big deal? Anti-reflective (AR) coating is applied to both surfaces in order to suppress reflection by 99%, which gives you superb clarity reading the time. The multi-layer coating on the crystal improves the scratch resistance, more so than conventional coating. Also, the SAR Coating includes stain-proof coating, which increases the water repellant level as well as providing stain resistance.
