The Orient Star Contemporary RE-AU0006S is the closed-dial Standard in Orient’s premium line: a 38.5 mm steel automatic with a silver-white sunburst, a fan-shaped power-reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, and a date window at 3. It is the everyday Orient Star — not a skeleton, not a moon-phase showpiece — built around Japan-made calibre F6N43, sapphire crystal, and a 100 m rating. If you want an Orient Star that reads as a dress watch on a steel bracelet, this is the white reference.
Why the RE-AU0006S stands out
Orient Star’s signature on this dial is the power-reserve fan at 12, not a busy sub-dial stack. Applied markers, Roman numerals at 12 and 6, and dauphine-style hands keep the silver-white surface easy to read; a blue seconds hand and matching power-reserve accent are the colour notes, not a full blue dial. Anti-reflective coating on the flat sapphire cuts office glare. The case mixes brushing and polish. Through the exhibition back you see F6N43 — automatic, hand-winding, and hacking seconds — rather than a solid plate.
It suits someone who wants Orient Star finishing without an open-heart cut-out, and who prefers 38.5 mm over a 41–42 mm sports Star. Lug-to-lug is 46.9 mm, so it sits closer to a compact dress watch than a diver. Thickness is 12.3 mm with the automatic and power-reserve train. Water resistance is 10 bar (100 m): rain, washing, and swimming are in spec; it is not a 200 m dive watch.
Who it is for
- Buyers who want a silver-white Orient Star with a visible power reserve, not a skeleton
- Wrists that wear ~38–39 mm cases more comfortably than 42 mm sports models
- People who like a Japan-made automatic with hand-winding, hacking seconds, and about 50 hours of reserve
- Anyone shopping Orient Star in Australia who wants authentic stock inspected before dispatch
Movement: calibre F6N43
F6N43 is Orient Star’s Japan-made automatic for this Contemporary Standard. It is self-winding with hand-winding and a seconds-halt (hacking) mechanism. Official figures: 22 jewels, 21,600 vibrations per hour, +25 to −15 seconds per day in static testing, and a power reserve of over 50 hours. The fan at 12 shows remaining wind; the date is at 3. You can top the mainspring up with the crown after a weekend off the wrist. The movement is visible through the see-through case back (crystal glass on the back, not sapphire).
Case, crystal, and bracelet
The case is stainless steel: 38.5 mm across (3–9 o’clock), 46.9 mm lug-to-lug (12–6), 12.3 mm thick. Front glass is flat sapphire with anti-reflective coating. The bracelet is SUS316L steel, 20 mm at the lugs, with a push-button three-fold clasp; listed wrist range on the green sibling is 140–200 mm. Official weight on this Standard architecture is 153 g. Water resistance is 10 bar (100 m). Luminous material is applied to hands and markers.

How it compares
The earthy-green sibling is RE-AU0107E — same F6N43, 38.5 / 46.9 / 12.3 mm case, and steel bracelet, different dial colour. If you want movement on the dial rather than a closed silver-white face, look at the M34 open-heart Stars (for example RE-BY0004A). Classic Orient Bambino models stay mineral-crystal dress watches at a lower price; this Star adds sapphire, 100 m, and the power-reserve complication.

Frequently asked questions
What is the water resistance of the Orient Star RE-AU0006S?
Official water resistance is 10 bar (100 m). That covers rain, hand washing, and swimming. It is not specified as a dive watch.
What movement does the RE-AU0006S use?
Japan-made Orient Star calibre F6N43: automatic with hand-winding and hacking seconds, 22 jewels, 21,600 bph, over 50 hours of power reserve, rated +25 to −15 seconds per day in static testing. A fan-shaped indicator at 12 shows remaining wind.
Is the RE-AU0006S dial white or silver?
It is a silver-white sunburst with applied markers and Roman numerals at 12 and 6. The seconds hand and power-reserve accent are blue; the dial itself is not a full blue face.
Does the RE-AU0006S have a date window?
Yes. Date is at 3 o’clock, with the power-reserve fan at 12. That is the standard Contemporary Date layout, not a no-date dress watch.
What size is the Contemporary Standard case?
38.5 mm width, 46.9 mm lug-to-lug, 12.3 mm thick, 20 mm lug width. Listed weight for this architecture is 153 g including the steel bracelet.
Is the Orient Star RE-AU0006S suitable as an everyday watch?
Yes for office and weekend wear: 100 m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and a steel bracelet. It is a closed-dial dress automatic, not a 200 m diver. If you want a thinner mineral-crystal dress watch, a Bambino is the simpler daily.
