Orient Star Classic Rose Gold WZ0031DE. Pictoral Review

[music_healing]

I need an elegant rose gold watch..
the new line of Orient Star , launched in April 2009, caught my attention..

after studying it.. I ask Orient to let me try the WZ0031DE

After 5 days of trying the new line

I got everything I need in this watch.. for an elegant dress watch

It's automatic, it can be automatic and hand wound also
This watch need only 10 wound to max 40 hours power reserve
- I feel like owning a Spring Drive seiko hahaha

I dont have to wear it daily, just need +/- 10 seconds, to 10 times wound the crown.. walaaaa ---- 40 hours power is ready to go


it has Day dial in retrograde style
it has Date dial
it has power reserve

Superb finishing, rose gold combination of brushed and polished rose gold
Superb leather strap with excelent comfy Orient star deployant

It goes well for Man and Woman ... I guess Orient Star could market this watch as Unisex watch IMO

I just like to share some pictures of this beautiful watch






I am still doing a full review... so I post in Image gallery to show some pictures

Dial of the watch :
Consist of two layer : lower layer and upper layer. It is so beautifully done, how the 2 dial perfectly each each other
Upper layer consist of two pattern : outer pattern and inner patter
Lower layer is the sub dial..

Watch has 3 Sub Dial - each sub dial is decorated by rose gold border in various style
Each sub dial , has it owns beautiful pattern . that is embossed pattern.. not printed, embossed pattern.. how incredible the detail from each embossed subdial pattern


I still try to get the best pictures with my pocket cam. its so hard
I deliberately give harsh light , in order to try to show the multiple pattern of dial and subdial.. Later on, if I could get better pictures. i would update

Side profile of the watch..
It consist of the combination of brushed and polished Rose Gold, with double countour edge..
no sharp edge.. the lug hugs the wrist
Crown its signed crafted not laser crafted






size comes later.. still in office dont have the tool to presicely measure each detail

[music_healing]

Leather bracelet is very high quality leather.. brown smooth leather.. sticth
thick and suple
comes with Orient star signed deployant.. full rose gold



Sapphire crystal is so nice.. it is slight dome but very beautiful dome
minimalistic yet so elegant



but it is not AR coated

I must say Sir that you have impeccable taste in watches! And this latest purchase has not proven me wrong :D

I do look forward to these reviews of yours (such clear pictures and apt descriptions)

This truly is a wonderful looking watch, I do personally prefer this watch's more simple-dialed brother however. Did you ever consider the other version, with only the power reserve?

Wear it in good health! :D

(Pity that I am still considered too young to wear a gold watch, let alone a rose gold one :( )

sweet review on the looks with tons of even sweeter pics

You mentioned that you are still doing the full review, so I guess there will be some more details coming up.

One question though, from the pics, the watch looks hefty and I know that you have a good range collection of dress watch and divers (that I know of). How does this one compare? Is it in between these two class in terms of sizes and weight?

Thanks for sharing Doc, looking forward for updates and future reviews

Great watch here.

How about the caseback pictures? Clear or solid?

I'm interested in some movement pictures. Looks like a new calibre for Orient, 40A50. Wonder if it's related in anyway with the 6R2x series from Seiko or if it's entirely made in house by Orient.

its a sapphire clear case back

i ve been trying to take good shots but havent got satisfying results yet

1 interesting point is
when we manual wind the crown
there is this cute little lever that click 2 and we could literally saw the power reserve going up to full in < 10 seconds...

try to get the little things i mention later

it is second hack
it is manual wound
it has 40 hours power reserve, but in reality, mine last 45 hours

I try to have some back case shot ...




and also try to give the lug and side profile better.. since I love the double curve , part polished part brushed, it is made so nice
