It’s just a shame that Orient Star isn’t more popular in the United States – that’s something that we at TBWS will be working on changing though. The treatment of final finishing and fine detailing between standard Orient models (like the Mako and Bambino) is miles away from the refinement you get with pieces in the Orient Star line. I’ve personally handled a few Orient Stars (I also own a previous generation WZ0071DJ GMT (which I reviewed )) and I can tell you that the quality on these is outstanding. Overall the look is still basically the same, but for me (as a movement geek) I love that Orient is sticking with previous models and giving them these movement upgrades.

The movement upgrade from the older 40S62 cliber to the Orient Star Skeleton’s newer F6F44 movement results in two main differences: Now it’s the Orient Star Modern Skeleton’s turn. Among the most well know movement upgrades, the Orient Mako II and Ray II received the F6922 while the Bambino Small Seconds received the F6222 caliber. Out of their movement making workshop in Akita, Japan, Orient has been iterating on its new wave of calibers based on the F6 line. Over the past couple years though that’s something Orient has been working on. However most of those calibers didn’t see too many technical innovations or improvements during their lifetime.

Orient has been using in-house movements in their watches for decades.
