A
\nbrand new Orient Star model was just announced \u2013 the “Sakigake”
\n(Japanese for forerunner, or a pioneer). At first glance, its design is
\nremarkably simple, making this one of those watches where the small details and
\nquality of execution will ultimately make or break it. So let’s dive into the
\ndetails\u2026<\/p>\n

First
\nof all, it’s easy to notice what’s not there: No date window. No power-reserve
\nindicator. And just minimal dial text \u2013 the Orient Star logo, and “automatic”.
\nCompare this with the Orient
\nFlusso<\/a>, also recently announced, and a clear trend emerges.<\/p>\n

What
\nwe do get is a time-only watch with rather elaborate, three-dimensional hour markers and nicely shaped hands to match, placed inside a smooth-looking case attached to an equally slick bracelet.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The
\ncase is 39mm wide, 47mm long, and 11.8mm thick \u2013 pretty standard and versatile
\nproportions. Orient seems particularly proud of the bracelet, which has been designed for maximum comfort. <\/p>\n

The
\nmovement is a new F7 variant, caliber F7542. It features the standard F7 specs
\nof automatic winding and 50 hours of power reserve, and, most importantly, is accurate to within +15\/-5 seconds per day.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

At
\nthis time, we are getting four references: RE-BQ0001G with a yellow gold dial,
\nRE-BQ0002L with a blue dial, RE-BQ0003S with a silver dial, and the limited
\nedition RE-BQ0004Y with a copper dial and black-plated hands and markers.<\/p>\n

Pricing
\nis \u20ac880 for the standard models and \u20ac960 for the limited edition. Which means
\nthe Sakigake is now the lowest priced Orient Star with the improved accuracy. <\/p>\n

Whether
\nor not the design works can only be judged after seeing the new model in
\nperson. If it really works and turns out as comfortable and well-made as Orient promises, it could become a very attractive watch.<\/p>\n
