I have the AF02004W that came on a leather strap. It actually came in a very nice long watch box as opposed to the square the bracelet version comes in. I understand that the power reserve is a signature complication for an Orient Star. I don't mind it especially where they have put it and I find it very useful when I'm not wearing the watch for a couple of days. I also have an Orient Star basic date both are virtually spot on in terms of time keeping time gaining only two to three seconds over the course of a week.

I really like the look of this, and so refreshing not to have to look at just one more dive watch!! I used to see these for under 300 dollars and I can't remember why I did not get one a few years ago. I have every kind of watch but a dress watch. I do like the Seiko you had in a thumbnail. The red one which is also a 38.5 mm diameter I think is close in size range and does come with a leather strap.

Hi Jody, thanks for a great review. I am still yet to pull the pin on an Orient, as I have previously been interested in the Diver's versions, but bought Just One More Seiko instead. And whilst this Orient is nice, and it's great to see them offering this style, - that Seiko Presage in red - OMG. What a beautiful specimen that is. I just prefer that one so much more, even with the standard date window. Me and my Seiko's! Cheers mate.

I’ve had one of those for years and years. I really like it. Had to order mine from Japan at the time because they were quite hard to get ahold of when I purchased it. Wish I had more reason to wear it, as it has spent 99% of its time sitting in the box. Time to flip it I guess. Hate to part with such a nice piece, but hurts more to have it go unused. I do love those blue hands and I think the dial is gorgeous, power reserve and date window included.

Jodi, as a WIS (watch idiot savant) and having owned 2-300 watches, Orient Star is a fantastic line. The value per $ is very good for a non-micro brand. I own 3 and haven't paid more than $400 for any of them, and I'd put them against 6-800+$ Swiss watches any day of the week (except for movement finishing, which leaves a little bit to desire). P.S.

I was interested to hear your comment about the bracelet and maximum size of wrist. The leather straps are sized similarly as I know from the silver handed Vs I have. Are Orient Star watches designed to be Japanese market only product I wonder? For me these watches have the ever so slightly clunky nature of a vintage Omega dress watch and really capture that aesthetic. And the quirks to me are defining characteristics without which it would look like many another Orient offering. When I bought mine, the choice was between the Star and a Bambino Small Seconds. I disregarded the Cocktail Times for being indiscreet and blousy, we old brits seeing sharp but understated as the way to go when dressing for dinner.

I'm watching this a year later because I was curious about this watch compared to my 38 mm Bambino. I'm thinking the Star might actually be less refined overall. Like the second hand issue you mentioned - on the Bambino it curves with the dial and goes all the way to the minute track, which is itself closer to the edge of the dial. Plus the Bambino has brushed case sides, a nicer shaped crown, and a slightly thinner case. On the other hand, I'm kinda digging that fuel gauge on the Star. I guess you can't have everything.
