Our take on the Orient Star - Contemporary Date - REAU0109L00B

The Orient Star Contemporary Date REAU0109L00B is a Japanese automatic dress watch with a 38.5 mm stainless steel case and a blue dial with a power reserve indicator. It runs Orient's in-house automatic movement with a date display, and the modest case size suits wrists that find 40 mm-plus sports watches too large. Against Swiss automatics at similar positioning, it offers an in-house movement, a power reserve display and sapphire crystal rather than an outsourced caliber. It is a dressier, more traditional alternative to Orient's own divers and to Seiko's Presage line.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Contemporary Date line praise the finishing, the in-house movement and the wearable case size. Some note that automatic accuracy varies and that the power reserve display divides opinion on a dress watch.

What people mention

  • MovementMixedThe in-house automatic is respected, but owners report accuracy that varies from watch to watch.
  • Power reserveMixedSome find the power reserve indicator practical, others think it clutters a dress dial.
  • FinishingPraisedReviewers say the case and dial finishing look more expensive than the watch's positioning suggests.
  • StrapCriticisedThe leather strap is described as serviceable but not on par with the case.
