The Orient Star line is positioned as a mid range level of quality, construction and price. I have an old model Orient Star Classic and it is a excellent piece. Long over due for a review. Easily at the level of a Seiko SARB. Without question.
The Retrograde models were released a couple of years ago. I never owned one, but I wanted to. Based on pictures alone, I would say these are at the top of the line for the Stars. Excellent casework and bracelet. Ornate dial. Sophisticated movement. To be able to buy this for under $900 US is incredible. Swiss made would easily cost double.
