The Orient Star Contemporary Date is a 38.5mm stainless steel automatic dress watch with a blue dial, applied indices and a date window. It runs Orient's in-house automatic movement with about 40 hours of power reserve and is rated for 100m water resistance. The 38.5mm case suits smaller and average wrists better than the 40mm-plus norm in this class, and the sapphire crystal and exhibition caseback put it above entry-level Orients. Against Swiss rivals at similar money it offers an in-house movement and a power reserve indicator rather than brand cachet.

Owners rate the Contemporary Date as a well-finished dress watch for the money, praising the dial and the smooth 38.5mm case. Complaints centre on the bracelet and on accuracy that is good but not chronometer-grade.
