Sun and Moon, mostly moon

By Kenji Watanabe, Osaka ยท

Pretty, yes. The blue dial with a day night disc that shows a sun and moon looks charming in photos, and Orient has made versions of this design for years.

But 42.5 mm by 13.6 mm is too large and thick for a dress watch, which is what the dial suggests it should be. 50 m water resistance, mineral crystal, F6B24 automatic with 40 hours. At 250 to 350 dollars I think it is a nice gift for someone who likes whimsical watches. I would not buy it as a daily dress watch. The day night disc is decorative more than useful, and that is fine if you know it going in.
