Our take on the Orient Star Mechanical Contemporary (RE-AV0B03B)

The Orient Star Mechanical Contemporary is an automatic chronograph with a blue dial, a stainless steel case and a sapphire crystal. Its in-house movement runs at 28,800 vph and holds a 50-hour power reserve, shown by a power reserve indicator on the dial. It sits above Orient's mainstream models in finishing and materials, with sapphire and 100 m water resistance that many sub-$1,000 chronographs lack. It suits buyers who want a mechanical chronograph with dress-watch looks rather than a sports tool watch.

Questions and answers

Is the Orient Star Mechanical Contemporary a good first automatic chronograph?
Yes, if you want an in-house automatic chronograph with sapphire and a power reserve indicator. Its finishing is a step above Orient's standard line, though it is thicker than a simple dress watch.

It uses an Orient in-house automatic chronograph movement with a 50-hour power reserve, shown on the dial. It winds automatically and can be hand-wound.
Is it safe for swimming?
It is rated 10 ATM (100 m), which covers swimming and showering. The chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater.
What is in the box?
The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, with the standard Orient Star presentation box and papers. Strap and tool contents vary by seller.
Does it have a date?
No, the dial has no date window. It shows hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph and power reserve.
