Limited Edition Orient Star RE-BX0009B Inspired by the Night Sky

Orient Star continues to push the boundaries of mechanical craftsmanship and design with the new RE-BX0009B, part of the M34 F8 Date series. Released as a limited edition of just 160 pieces, this exclusive model draws inspiration from the natural wonder of the night sky, combining advanced horology with a visually striking dial design.

At the heart of the RE-BX0009B beats the in-house Caliber F8N64, an automatic movement with manual winding capability, hacking seconds, and a robust 60-hour power reserve. A standout feature of this caliber is its silicon escape wheel—a component crafted from lightweight, anti-magnetic silicon rather than traditional metal. This material not only reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication, but also offers exceptional resistance to the effects of magnetism, which is increasingly important in our daily environments filled with electronic devices. The result is enhanced long-term precision, stability, and durability. With a rated accuracy of +15 to -5 seconds per day, the F8N64 reflects Orient Star’s dedication to high-performance mechanical engineering at a highly competitive price point.

The most captivating element of this watch is undoubtedly its dial, inspired by the Perseid meteor shower. Using an innovative layering technique involving nanometric metallic particles, the dial exhibits a unique texture and depth that mimics the star-filled sky. This patented finish is exclusive to Orient Star, and paired with the sleek baton-style hands, power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, and date display at 3 o’clock, the design is both functional and poetic.

Crafted in stainless steel, the 40 mm case features sapphire crystal on both the front and the transparent caseback, with anti-reflective coating for clarity. With a thickness of 12.9 mm and water resistance up to 100 meters, the watch is as robust as it is elegant. It is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet and deployant clasp, completing the refined aesthetic.

Each piece is individually numbered on the caseback, emphasizing its rarity. With just 160 units available worldwide, the RE-BX0009B offers collectors a unique opportunity to own a timepiece that merges cutting-edge Japanese engineering with celestial beauty. Priced at $3,250, it’s a bold statement from Orient Star—one that proves innovation and artistry can coexist in perfect harmony.
