Want a blue Orient Star open-heart automatic that still wears like a dress watch? The Orient Star Contemporary Open Heart RE-AT0006L (also listed as RE-AT0006L00B) combines a vivid blue dial, open-heart aperture, power-reserve indicator, sapphire crystal, and a compact stainless steel case on leather. It is a strong pick for Australian buyers who want visible mechanical animation without a heavy sports case.
Why the RE-AT0006L stands out
- Blue open-heart dial — movement architecture visible through the dial window, typically around 9 o’clock on this family.
- Power-reserve indicator — a practical readout so you know when to wear or wind the watch.
- In-house F6R42-class automatic — Orient Star self-winding calibre with hand-winding and about 50 hours of reserve.
- Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on this generation — clearer legibility outdoors than uncoated mineral glass.
- Compact contemporary sizing — about 39.3 mm diameter, 46.2 mm lug-to-lug, 12.2 mm thick, 20 mm lug width.
- 100 m water resistance — more robust than many pure dress watches; still not a dive tool.
- Leather strap presentation — blue strap pairing that leans dress and weekend smart-casual.
The open heart keeps the watch lively on the wrist while the blue sunburst-style dial stays wearable with navy, grey, and white shirts. Compared with larger sports Orient Stars, RE-AT0006L is easier under a cuff and lighter for all-day desk wear.

Wearing and care tips
If the power-reserve hand is low, give the crown a gentle wind before wearing. Leather straps dislike long immersion — remove the watch for pools and the ocean when possible, even with a 100 m rating on the case. Wipe the case after sweat or rain and store the strap dry. Avoid strong magnets near laptop bags and speakers.
Frequently asked questions
What movement does the Orient Star RE-AT0006L use?
It uses Orient’s in-house automatic F6R42-class calibre with open-heart display and a power-reserve indicator. Expect roughly 50 hours of reserve with normal wear and hand-winding support when the watch has sat idle.
What is the case size of RE-AT0006L?
About 39.3 mm diameter, 46.2 mm lug-to-lug, and 12.2 mm thick, with 20 mm lugs. That is a compact contemporary size for most wrists.
Is the crystal sapphire on the RE-AT0006L?
Yes. This model is specified with sapphire crystal, and this generation is commonly listed with anti-reflective coating for outdoor readability.
Can I swim with the Orient Star RE-AT0006L?
The case is rated to 100 m water resistance, which covers swimming with care when the crown is secure. Leather straps are not ideal for repeated immersion — rinse and dry promptly, or switch to a rubber or steel strap if you swim often.
