Orient Star Launches 2024 Limited Edition Models with the Theme of Keshiki – Emotional Colours that Connect the World

Orient Star has launched a series of limited edition watches inspired by the colours of the sky and sea that connect the world. The series, called Keshiki which means beautiful scenery in Japanese, includes three models: Modern Skeleton and Semi Skeleton from the Contemporary Collection, and the smaller Classic Semi Skeleton from the Classic Collection. Each model features a sky blue dial exuding translucency that evokes crisp winter air, and is engraved with a limited edition serial number on the case back.

The Keshiki series of limited edition models incorporating dial colours representing the sky and sea, connecting the world, began with the desire of Orient Star to be worn by people all over the globe. Inspired by snowy landscapes, the sky blue dials on the new models are reminiscent of the crisp winter air of a snowy landscape and their striking colour evokes elegance.

The sporty Modern Skeleton and Semi Skeleton models from the Contemporary Collection feature distinctive open work dials and navy small second, second and power reserve hands that perfectly complement the sky blue dial. The Classic Semi Skeleton from the Classic Collection also has navy hour and minute hands to match the sky blue dial. The Classic Semi Skeleton also features a warm rose gold-coloured bezel that provides a striking contrast to the sky blue dial and adds a touch of elegance to the compact case. The rose gold-coloured OS mark on all three models suggests sparkling snowflakes drifting through the air.

The three Keshiki models, available in a limited edition of 900 pieces for the Modern Skeleton, 700 pieces for the Semi Skeleton and 400 pieces for the Classic Semi Skeleton, are each equipped with an automatic in-house movement and stainless steel case back engraved with limited edition and serial number.
