Our take on the Orient Star Modern Skeleton Automatic Watch

The Orient Star Modern Skeleton is a mechanical dress watch with an open-worked dial that shows the in-house automatic movement from the front. It uses a stainless steel case and bracelet, a sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown rated to 100 m. It suits buyers who want a Japanese-made skeleton watch with a power reserve indicator and finishing closer to Swiss mid-range pieces than to Orient's budget line. Against open-heart rivals it offers more visible movement and a display caseback, but it is thicker and heavier than a plain three-hand dress watch.

Questions and answers

Is the Orient Star Modern Skeleton a good first mechanical watch?
It can be, if you accept the open dial's lower legibility. The automatic movement is reliable and the sapphire crystal and 100 m rating make it easy to live with.
Does it have a power reserve indicator?
Yes. A power reserve display on the dial shows how much running time is left when the watch is off the wrist.
Can I swim with it?
It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and showering. Avoid pressing the crown or diving, and have the seals checked periodically.
How does it compare with a Swiss skeleton watch?
It offers an in-house Japanese movement, sapphire and steel at a lower outlay than most Swiss skeletons. Swiss rivals typically bring more hand finishing and brand prestige.
What is in the box?
The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, with the clasp, and Orient Star packaging. Check the listing for any extra strap or papers.
Does the skeleton dial make it hard to read?
Yes, somewhat. The hands stand out, but the busy open-worked background and index-only markers slow quick reading compared with a plain dial.
Where is the Orient Star Modern Skeleton Automatic Watch cheapest?
At Ashford, for $814.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Orient Star Modern Skeleton Automatic Watch?
