I had the opportunity to handle this Orient Star Skeleton recently. This is another Orient Star that is made available to the international market after the GMT, Retrograde and Open Heart models. This watch is fitted with a hand wind movement and has a power reserve indicator at the 12 o’clock position. The second hand is located on a sub-dial above the 6 o’clock marker.
Here’s are some photos:
Since this is a skeleton watch, I have placed emphasis on the dial shots. I hope these shots are sufficient to show you the details of the dial.
This photo below shows the watch against a brown coloured background. You can see the background colour through certain parts of the movement.

This might be off topic, however, Does anyone know of an Orient Star or Orient Watch dealer in the USA.

Can’t tell you much other than it’s a handwind movement with power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and second hand sub-dial at 6 o’clock. The movement is nicely finished since it is meant for skeleton watches. Stop second (hacking) feature is included.
