Looking for an Orient Star that shows the movement with a warmer gold-tone presentation? The Orient Star Modern Skeleton RK-AV0130G is the gold-tone dial take on Orient Star’s Contemporary openworked “Modern Skeleton” silhouette: partial skeleton dial, power-reserve indication, in-house automatic F6F44, sapphire crystal, and a wearable 41 mm steel case on a steel bracelet with 100 m water resistance.
This is the piece people mean when they search for an Orient Star gold skeleton or gold-tone Modern Skeleton in Australia. It sits in the premium Orient Star Contemporary line—more finishing and presence than a standard Orient automatic, still clearly Japanese mechanical value rather than a fashion badge.
Why the RK-AV0130G stands out
- Gold-tone openworked dial with warm markers and skeleton windows—richer dress contrast than cooler silver Modern Skeleton variants
- In-house calibre F6F44: automatic with hand-winding and hacking seconds, about 50 hours of power reserve, 24 jewels, rated roughly +25 to −15 seconds per day
- Power-reserve indicator on the dial so you can see remaining wind at a glance
- Case geometry that wears honestly: about 41 mm wide, 12 mm thick, roughly 49 mm lug-to-lug, 21 mm lug width
- Sapphire crystal on the front for everyday scratch resistance; exhibition-style case back to show the movement
- 100 m water resistance and a stainless steel bracelet—more daily-capable than many dress open-heart watches
- Made in Japan Orient Star build and finishing in the Contemporary Modern Skeleton family
Who it suits
Choose RK-AV0130G if you want mechanical theatre with a warmer gold-tone dial, a full bracelet sports-dress case, and Orient Star’s in-house F6 architecture. Prefer champagne with gold-plated bezel accents? See the sibling RK-AV0124G. Prefer a blue openworked layout? Compare RK-AV0131L. For a less openworked M34 semi-skeleton with a solid navy dial field, see RK-BY0010L.
It works as a special-occasion automatic, elevated office watch, or collector piece when you want the movement visible without a fragile dress-only profile. The 41 mm case is substantial but the 12 mm thickness keeps it more wearable than many skeleton competitors.

Case geometry follows the published Modern Skeleton family shared with references such as RE-AV0124G / RK-AV0124G. Always match dial colour and plating details to the product photos on this page. Water resistance is a design class—service seals periodically and avoid operating the crown underwater.
How it compares
Versus M34 F7 semi-skeletons (RK-BY00xx), the Modern Skeleton is more openworked, uses F6F44 rather than F7F44, and wears closer to a 41 × 12 mm sports-dress bracelet watch with a 21 mm lug. Versus a sealed three-hand Orient Star date model, you trade some dial calm for movement visibility and power-reserve feedback. It is not a dive watch; for 200 m Orient divers, look at Kamasu / Mako references instead.
Frequently asked questions
What movement does the Orient Star RK-AV0130G use?
It uses Orient Star’s in-house automatic calibre F6F44: 24 jewels, hand-winding, hacking seconds, and about 50 hours of power reserve, with a power-reserve indicator on the dial.
What is the water resistance of the RK-AV0130G?
100 metres. Fine for rain, washing hands, and careful swimming. Not intended for scuba or prolonged hot-water exposure.
Is the RK-AV0130G a full skeleton watch?
It is a Modern Skeleton / openworked design: large cut-outs reveal the movement while applied markers and the twin-register layout stay legible. It is more open than a small open-heart window, but not a fully see-through skeleton with no dial structure.
How does RK-AV0130G differ from RK-AV0124G?
Both sit in the Contemporary Modern Skeleton family with F6F44 architecture and similar case geometry. RK-AV0130G is the gold-tone dial configuration on this listing; RK-AV0124G is the champagne openworked dial with gold-tone bezel accents. Match the photos and reference code when choosing colourway.
Is the RK-AV0130G suitable for everyday wear?
Yes for smart-casual and office use if you like a statement dial. Sapphire and 100 m water resistance help daily practicality; the openworked face will still draw attention, so treat it as a visible mechanical piece rather than a stealth beater.
