Most skeleton watches expose their entire movement behind sapphire crystal, but Orient Star took a more restrained approach with the M34 F7: a single window cut into a Mother-of-Pearl dial reveals just the balance wheel in motion, its natural shimmer catching light the same way the aurora borealis shifts color across the night sky. The design comes in three dial colorways — blue, green, and charcoal grey — each meant to echo a different shade the northern lights can take on.
Beneath that restraint sits genuine mechanical substance: the F7M65 caliber runs at 21,600 vph with 24 jewels and a 50-hour power reserve, housed in a case with 100m water resistance and a stainless steel bracelet using short-pitch H-shaped links for comfort. Reviewers who've handled it in person consistently note it reveals more sophistication up close than in photos — the gold-tone Roman twelve and the glimpse of the movement reward a genuinely close look, not just a glance.
