Introducing all the new Orient/Orient Star watches for 2025!

Here we introduce the new watches that Orient and Orient Star have announced for 2025. In recent years, Orient Star has been attracting a lot of attention with the launch of its "M Collections," but Orient, which celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, has also released a number of noteworthy new models.

Orient Star 2025 New Product ① "M34 Avant-garde F8 Skeleton"

　One limited edition and one regular model have been added to the "M34 Avant-Garde F8 Skeleton," a masterpiece of the "M34" series, which is based on a star cluster in the constellation Perseus. The M34 Avant-Garde F8 Skeleton is popular for its openwork dial, which allows visitors to see the mechanism of its automatic movement, Cal. F8F64. Cal. F8F64 uses a silicon escape wheel, a technology developed by Orient, and being able to see its operation is one of the charms of this watch.

　Among the new releases from the M34 Avant-Garde F8 Skeleton, this limited edition model, limited to 300 pieces worldwide (200 in Japan), is based on the theme of "Desert Luxury," evoking the image of affluent urban life surrounded by golden sand. The openwork dial, hexagonal screws on the bezel, case, and crown are all gold-colored. The warm coloring creates a different atmosphere from previous models, making this a unique and appealing piece.

　The new addition to the regular lineup is a coordinated model that emphasizes the solid texture of the watch by using a unified black color scheme. Previous models featured a black-plated case, but this model features a bracelet with a similar finish. The contrast with the silver color of the indexes, hands, Orient Star logo, and movement is effective, bringing out the mechanical appeal of the mechanical watch.

Orient Star 2025 New Release② "Standard"

　The Contemporary Collection Standard, known for its power reserve display and modern styling, has been expanded with four new models featuring earth-toned dials, as well as an official online store exclusive model with a vibrant red dial. The Standard features central hour, minute, and second hands, a date display at 3 o'clock, and Orient Star's signature power reserve display at 12 o'clock, making it a truly "standard" series that matches both business and casual settings. With a case diameter of 38.5mm, it fits comfortably on the wrist and is not too small, making it another design worthy of the "Standard" category.

　Previous models have featured classic, popular, and bold colors such as silver, black, and navy. The four newly added models incorporate muted earth tones that are different from the previous models, and come in green reminiscent of tree leaves, copper reminiscent of desert sand, ice blue reminiscent of crystal clear water, and gray reminiscent of inorganic rock. All of the colors are subdued, making them unique yet easy to incorporate into a variety of outfits.

　Meanwhile, the official online store exclusive model features a vibrant and chic red dial, accented with gold Roman indices, a second hand, and the Orient Star emblem, adding a touch of elegance.

Orient Star 2025 New Release ③ "Layered Skeleton"

　The Contemporary Collection Layered Skeleton, which features a unique dial made up of two layers, has been released in two versions: one limited edition model of 400 pieces and one model from the regular lineup.

　The Layered Skeleton is a lineup born in 2021, inspired by suit styles, and features a layered look, with the small seconds and power reserve indicators lowered from 6 to 10 o'clock, reminiscent of layered clothing. The balance wheel is skeletonized at 9 o'clock on the dial, allowing viewers to see its operation, adding to its appeal.

　Both of the two newly announced models feature a color scheme inspired by seaside resorts, with the limited edition model featuring a mint green dial, reminiscent of a refreshing breeze blowing across the blue ocean. The watch also comes with a metal bracelet perfect for everyday use and a chic calfskin leather band, allowing you to coordinate it to suit any occasion. The other new addition to the regular lineup features a champagne gold dial, reminiscent of the sunshine shining down on a resort, and a subdued gray calfskin leather band.

Orient 2025 New Release ① "Orient Bambino 38 Solar Powered"

Three models of the "Orient Bambino 38 Solar Powered" have been released, which are the first "Orient Bambino" to use photovoltaic quartz, as well as one limited edition model to commemorate Orient's 75th anniversary.

　The Orient Bambino 38 is a popular collection known for its traditional design and compact size. The retro feel that characterizes this model comes from the classical design, including Roman numerals, the bombe-shaped dial, the box crystal, and the round case with slender lugs.

　The newly announced new model retains the image of the previous mechanical model, but is equipped with a light-powered quartz movement that can run for approximately six months on a full charge. The regular model is available with three dial colors: ivory, black, and pale green. The strap is made from plant-based apple synthetic leather, which is made from recycled apple cores and pomace that would otherwise be discarded, making it a more environmentally friendly material than animal-derived leather.

　In addition to these, a limited edition model of 300 pieces will be available in Japan to commemorate Orient's 75th anniversary. It features the old Orient logo in cursive script used in the 1950s and a dial with blue hands, and comes with a beige nubuck leather strap and a brown curved band, further enhancing the retro feel. Furthermore, the case back is inscribed with "Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary" in cursive script and a serial number, adding a unique design unique to this commemorative model.

Orient 2025 New Product ② "PEANUTS" Collaboration

　Orient and the Peanuts series, famous for Snoopy, are celebrating their 75th anniversaries with the release of four commemorative models. Orient began operations in 1950 and has gained popularity through its in-house production of mechanical watches and sales in over 70 countries. Peanuts, which also began serialization in newspapers in the United States in 1950, has been loved by many people around the world.

　Of the four limited edition models, two are based on the Orient Bambino 38. The Orient Bambino 38 is a model that is popular among watch enthusiasts due to its classic design and size. The limited edition models are available with a white dial and a more classic cream yellow dial. At the 6 o'clock position, Snoopy is depicted in his classic reclining pose, and the "1" on the date display has been replaced with Woodstock, creating a playful design.

This semi-skeleton model features a skeletonized design at the 9 o'clock position, allowing viewers to enjoy the movement of the balance wheel, a feature typical of mechanical watches. The small seconds hand at the 6 o'clock position features Snoopy and Woodstock, creating a model that harmonizes a contemporary, functional design with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

　The final model is a limited edition of the Orient Mako 40, a diver design series that has been part of Orient's long-running lineup. It features a reclining Snoopy at the 6 o'clock position and Woodstock in place of the "1" on the date display, creating a design that perfectly matches the humor of the Peanuts characters with sporty styling.

　The case back of each model is engraved with the words "Orient 75th Anniversary," the Peanuts 75th Anniversary mark, a Woodstock engraving, and a limited-edition serial number. Each model is based on Orient's popular model and combines the adorable image of Snoopy, making it a must-have model for fans of both brands.

Orient 2025 New Release ③ "Orient Bambino"

　To celebrate Orient's 75th anniversary, three new color models of the "Orient Bambino" and one limited edition model have been added. The Orient Bambino, which can be said to be Orient's masterpiece, is characterized by a classical design including Roman indexes that create a retro atmosphere, a bombe-shaped dial, a box crystal, and a round case with slender lugs. The new models retain these features but come in a range of attractive colors.

　The new dial color scheme comes in three colors: sunray green, navy, and, for the first time on an Orient Bambino, beige. All have a subdued color saturation for a chic look, and the hour, minute, and second hands are combined with Roman numerals in pink gold or silver, taking into consideration the color effect of each color. All have a finish that matches a classic atmosphere with a casual impression.

　Meanwhile, the limited edition model commemorating the 75th anniversary has a more classic finish. It features a white dial, the old Orient logo in cursive script used in the 1950s, pink gold Roman numerals, and blue hands. It also comes with a beige nubuck leather strap that further enhances the retro feel, and a brown curved band. These are the same designs as the commemorative model of the "Orient Bambino 38 Solar Powered." The case back is inscribed with "Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary" in cursive script, along with the serial number.

Orient 2025 New Release ④ "Orient Bambino Sun and Moon"

The Orient Bambino Sun and Moon has been expanded with one new color model and one limited edition model to commemorate Orient's 75th anniversary. The Orient Bambino Sun and Moon is based on the classic design of the Orient Bambino and adds the Sun and Moon mechanism, in which a disk featuring a sun and moon motif rotates once every 24 hours, visualizing the passing of time.

　The new color is a Bordeaux-colored sunray dial model, which is a vibrant yet soft Bordeaux color, and is paired with gold-colored hour, minute, and second hands that echo the sun in the Sun and Moon motif at 5 o'clock.

　The 75th anniversary limited edition model shares the same design code as the Orient Bambino limited edition model, and features a white dial with the old Orient logo in cursive, pink gold Roman numerals, and blue hands. The case back is inscribed with "Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary" in cursive and a serial number. It also comes with a beige nubuck leather strap and a brown curved band.
