The Orient Star Contemporary Skeleton is a stainless steel automatic dress watch with an open-worked dial that shows the movement through the front. It uses an in-house automatic caliber with a 50-hour power reserve, hand-winding and hacking, and a date window. The case is 100 m water resistant and the crystal is sapphire, which is more than most sub-$1,000 dress watches offer. It suits buyers who want visible mechanical craft in a formal watch; against plain-dial rivals it trades legibility for show, and the skeleton dial divides opinion.

Owners of Orient Star automatics generally praise the finishing and the in-house movement for the money, and the skeleton dial draws compliments. The common complaint is legibility: hands and markers compete with the open-worked background, especially in low light.
