- Is the Orient Star Contemporary a good first automatic watch?
- Yes. It has an in-house automatic movement, sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance, which is more than most entry-level automatics offer. The copper dial is the main thing to be sure about.
- How does Orient Star differ from standard Orient?
- Orient Star is the premium line. It uses better finishing, sapphire crystal and more refined movements than the base Orient models.
- Can I swim with it?
- It is rated to 100m, which covers swimming and showering. Avoid diving and pressing the crown underwater.
- Does it have a power reserve indicator?
- Many Orient Star models do, but check the specific reference. The indicator is one of the line's signature features.
- How accurate is the automatic movement?
- Orient rates its automatics within a range of seconds per day, and owners report real-world drift in that range. Expect to reset it every week or two.
