Our take on the Orient Star Automatic Blue RE-AV0003L00B

The Orient Star Automatic Blue is a mid-range Japanese mechanical dress watch with an in-house automatic movement, a 40-hour power reserve and a 100 m water rating. Its open-heart dial shows the balance wheel through a cutout, and the sapphire crystal and stainless steel case put it a step above Orient's entry-level divers. It suits buyers who want a real mechanical movement and finishing close to Swiss rivals at a fraction of their price, though it is a dress watch, not a tool watch.

Questions and answers

Is the Orient Star Automatic Blue a good first mechanical watch?
Yes. It has an in-house automatic movement, sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance, so it needs little care beyond winding and setting. It is dressier than a dive watch, so consider how you dress.
Does it have a sapphire crystal?
Yes, the crystal is sapphire, which resists scratches far better than the mineral glass on cheaper Orients.
Can I swim with it?
It is rated 10 ATM (100 m), which covers swimming and showering. Avoid diving and pressing the crown underwater.
How long does the power reserve last?
About 40 hours off the wrist. If you rotate watches, wind it before wearing or it will stop.
What strap size does it take?
21 mm lug width. That is less common than 20 or 22 mm, so check strap availability before buying.
How does it compare with a Seiko Presage?
Both are Japanese mid-range automatics with dress styling. The Orient Star adds an open-heart dial and sapphire; Presage models often offer more dial variety and a longer power reserve.
