Our take on the Orient Star M34 F8 Automatic Watch

The Orient Star M34 F8 is a mechanical dress watch from Orient's upscale Star line, sold in two versions: a blue-dial steel model rated to 100 m and a silver-cased model with leather strap rated to 30 m. It uses an in-house automatic movement with a date window, sapphire crystal and an index-only dial, so it reads clean and formal. Against Swiss entry-luxury automatics it offers in-house movement and sapphire for far less, but it lacks the brand recognition and finishing of a Grand Seiko or Longines. It suits buyers who want a refined everyday automatic without paying luxury prices.

Questions and answers

Is the Orient Star M34 F8 a good first automatic watch?
Yes. It has an in-house automatic movement, sapphire crystal and a clean dress dial, which is rare at this level. It is a sensible step up from entry Seiko automatics.
What is the difference between the two versions?
The blue-dial steel model is rated to 100 m and comes on a steel bracelet. The silver-cased model has a leather strap and only 30 m water resistance.
Can I swim with it?
Only with the 100 m steel version, and even then avoid diving. The 30 m leather version is splash-resistant at best.
How does it compare with a Seiko Presage?
Both offer in-house automatics and sapphire. The Orient Star tends toward cleaner index dials; Presage models often add enamel or textured dials and more complications.
Does it have a screw-down crown?
No. The crown is push-pull, which is why water resistance tops out at 100 m.
What is in the box?
The watch, its strap or bracelet as configured, and Orient Star paperwork and warranty card. A presentation box is included.
Where is the Orient Star M34 F8 Automatic Watch cheapest?
At First Class Watches, for $3,750.00, as of our latest check.
