- Is the Orient Star Contemporary Date a good first mechanical watch?
- Yes, if you want a dress watch. The in-house automatic, sapphire crystal and solid finishing make it a sensible step up from entry-level Orient models.
- Can I swim with it?
- No. It is rated 5 ATM, which covers hand washing and rain but not swimming or diving.
- How does it compare with a standard Orient automatic?
- The Star line adds better finishing, a sapphire crystal and a more decorated in-house movement. Standard Orient models usually use mineral glass.
- What size is the case?
- 38.5mm in diameter, which wears smaller than most modern sports watches and suits dress wear and smaller wrists.
- Does it have lume?
- No. The hands and markers are not luminous, so reading it in the dark is not practical.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, with the clasp and buckle, and Orient Star paperwork. Check the listing for any extra strap.
