Following the unveiling of Orient Star’s new Mechanical Moon Phase watches earlier this year, the watchmaker has now released a newly-iterated limited-edition model featuring an earthy appearance.

The M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase spotlights a mother-of-pearl dial with a deep brown gradient. Its unique appearance is enriched with a copper-hued iridescent effect, complete with a subtle allover pattern on the inner dial.

Synonymous with the previous release, this limited-edition timepiece comes encased in a stainless steel build with a 41mm case size. The moon phase display sits at 6 o’clock and aligns symmetrically with the power reserve indicator that’s located on the polar end of the watch face. Positioned in between these two features is a sleek, diamond-shaped handset that echoes the hue of its surrounding Roman Numerals.

The M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase is equipped with 50 hours of power reserve, which is offered by the in-house F7M65 hand-wound movement. Retailing for £1,870 GBP (approximately $2,373 USD) with only 180 examples produced, the watch is now available to shop via Orient’s official UK website.
