Orient Star small seconds automatic dress watch for men, reference RK-AW0003S, 39 mm gold/steel case with silver dial and sapphire crystal, black leather strap, produced in 2000–2010, in good condition with visible wear, shipped insured from Japan.
Description from the seller
Introduction
Offered here is an Orient Star automatic dress watch with a classic multi-register layout and a warm rose-gold-tone case paired to a black leather strap. Orient Star is Orient's premium line, known among collectors for strong value and very consistent in-house mechanical quality. The dial design is especially attractive: a silver sunburst base with applied Arabic numerals, blued-style hands, a pointer-date scale around the dial, and two subdials for a more traditional, vintage-inspired look.
Historical & Collector Value
Orient Star has a long history as the upper tier within the Orient brand, representing the more refined finishing and higher specification movements compared with standard Orient models. This piece is appealing to collectors because it combines several desirable traits in one watch: an in-house automatic movement, a classic formal case, and a less common dial configuration with pointer date and two subdials. The rose-gold-tone case and applied numerals give it a period-correct elegance that stands out from more common contemporary minimalist dress watches. For collectors building a Japanese watch lineup beyond the usual mainstream choices, Orient Star remains a respected name with a strong heritage and reliable long-term ownership experience.
