Orient Star “Aoi Tsuki” Mechanical Moon Phase RK-BT0001S (JDM)

Short Description

The Orient Star RK-BT0001S “Aoi Tsuki” is a flagship model of the prestigious classic M45 collection, inspired by the Pleiades star cluster. This timepiece masterfully combines three of the manufacturer’s most celebrated complications: a power reserve indicator, a date display with moon phase, and a refined semi-skeleton design that reveals the beating heart of its movement. An exclusive model for the Japanese domestic market (JDM) that stands out for its unified dial featuring the textured OS logo and a set of interchangeable straps of the highest quality.

🌟 Key Features

• JDM Edition with Double Strap Set: Includes a SUS316L stainless steel bracelet optimized for a perfect fit and an additional genuine alligator leather strap with a folding clasp.
• Premium Complication Trilogy: Integrates a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, a semi-skeletonized window at 9 o’clock, and a date sub-dial with moon phase at 6 o’clock—all on a single dial.
• “Aoi Tsuki” Dial Design: A textured deep-blue moon background and stars with enhanced luminosity. The center of the inner ring features a discreet OS brand pattern that subtly reacts to light.
• Dual-Curved Sapphire Crystal with SAR Coating: High-tech anti-reflective treatment on both sides that eliminates 99% of reflections for absolute clarity.
• Manufacture Caliber F7M42: High-precision automatic movement (+15 to -5 seconds per day) visible through the case back, meticulously polished and decorated.
