Orient Star Contemporary Semi Skeleton vs Orient Ray II Automatic Dive Watch

Buy the Orient Star if you want a dressier everyday watch with a sapphire crystal, a visible semi-skeleton movement and a power reserve indicator. Buy the Ray II if you need a true dive watch: 200m water resistance, a screw-down crown and a rotating bezel. The Star has the better glass and finishing; the Ray II has the tougher spec sheet and a long record with owners as a reliable, affordable diver.

• Choose the Orient Star RE-AT0001L if you want a slim, dressy automatic with sapphire glass and an open-worked dial that shows the movement.
• Choose the Orient Ray II if you want a rugged dive watch rated to 200m with a rotating bezel and screw-down crown.
