Following the previous release of the M34 F7 skeleton watches, Orient Star continues to expand on its celestial-inspired with a newly-iterated M34 F8 Date.

The model arrives in two versions starring white and blue dials, with the former being a limited release of 160 examples, while the latter is a regular edition. Attired in a sleek stainless steel build with a 40mm case size, the watches spotlight lustrously hand-carved dials that poetically depict the Perseid meteor showers — another cue Perseus, the collection’s longtime inspiration.

Powering the M34 F8’s function is Orient’s very own automatic F8N64 caliber. Capable of running continuously for up to 60 hours, its reserve in power is indicated via a small display under the watch face’s 12 o’clock mark. Meanwhile, a small date window is located next to the 3 o’clock indice.

Prices range from €2,500 – €2,700 EUR (approximately $2,715 – $2,932 USD), all variants of the new M34 F8 Date are now available via Orient.
