- Is the Orient Star RE-AT0203L a good first automatic watch?
- Yes, if you want a dress watch with a power reserve indicator and small seconds. It is more complicated and more expensive than an Orient Bambino, but the movement and finishing are a step up.
- Does it have sapphire glass?
- No. It uses mineral glass, which is more prone to scratches than sapphire. Treat it carefully if you wear it daily.
- Can I swim with it?
- No. Its 5 ATM rating covers splashes and brief handwashing only. Take it off for swimming and showers.
- How long is the power reserve?
- About 50 hours when fully wound. The dial's power reserve indicator shows how much is left.
- What is the strap width?
- The strap is about 0.8 inches (20 mm) at the lugs, so standard 20 mm replacement straps fit.
- Does it have a date?
- No. The dial has a small-seconds subdial and a power reserve indicator instead of a date window.
- Where is the Orient Star (RE-AT0203L) cheapest?
- At Jomashop, for $379.00, as of our latest check.
