The Orient Star RE-ND0024E is the compact ladies Classic Semi Skeleton: a 30.5 mm Japan-made automatic with a teal green-gradation dial, Roman numerals, and an open heart at 9 o’clock. Rose gold-tone accents on the open-heart rim, crown, and OS mark soften the steel case. It is a small mechanical dress watch, not a quartz fashion piece and not a dive watch. Shop it as an Orient Star from Chronospride in Australia.
The ladies Classic Semi Skeleton case is 30.5 mm across, 36.6 mm lug-to-lug, and 11.0 mm thick on a 14 mm stainless steel bracelet. The front crystal is boxed mineral glass; the screw case back is see-through so you can watch the 55C40 rotor. Water resistance is 50 metres — rain and hand washing are fine; swimming and showering are not the brief.
Who the RE-ND0024E suits
Someone who wants a genuine Orient Star movement on a smaller wrist, with the open heart as the talking point rather than a busy date window. The 55C40 is automatic with hand-winding, so you can keep it running off the wrist. If you want the larger men’s Classic Semi Skeleton with power reserve, look at the Orient Star RE-AV0001S. If you want a bigger Contemporary open-heart Star, browse Orient Star watches.

Why this ladies Semi Skeleton is different
Orient Star’s Classic Semi Skeleton ladies line is built around a short 30.5 mm barrel and a boxed crystal, not a 38–40 mm Contemporary sports case. The open heart at 9 is a real cut-out over the balance, not a printed window. Green-to-teal gradation is the colour story on this reference; rose gold-tone hardware keeps it from reading as a black-and-steel tool watch.
Calibre 55C40 is the in-house ladies automatic used across this case generation (same width, height, and thickness as RE-ND0003S / RE-ND0011N). It is not the F6R42 / F6F42 men’s Classic Semi Skeleton, and it is not a 50-hour F7 sports movement. Expect a 40-hour reserve and a wider factory accuracy band than Orient Star’s F6/F7 sports calibres.
Size and wear
30.5 mm sounds tiny on paper. Lug-to-lug of 36.6 mm is the number that matters: it sits inside a smaller wrist instead of hanging off it. Thickness is 11.0 mm with the boxed crystal, so it is not a dress sliver, but it is still a ladies mechanical case, not a 13 mm sports Star. The 14 mm bracelet matches the lugs; do not expect a 18 mm aftermarket strap to drop on without a different case.
Water resistance, crystal, and care
50 m on a screw case back is everyday splash resistance. It is not a swim watch. The boxed mineral crystal gives the classic Star dome; it is not sapphire, so treat desk-side scratches as a real risk. Hand-wind gently if the watch has sat still; do not force the crown past the stop.
Frequently asked questions
What movement is in the Orient Star RE-ND0024E?
Japan-made Orient Star calibre 55C40: automatic with hand-winding, 20 jewels, over 40 hours of power reserve, 21,600 vph. It is the ladies Classic Semi Skeleton calibre, not the larger F6F42 used in the men’s RE-AV0001S.
Is the RE-ND0024E a ladies watch, and what is the case size?
Yes. Official Classic Semi Skeleton ladies dimensions are 30.5 mm width, 36.6 mm lug-to-lug, 11.0 mm thick, 14 mm bracelet. That is the compact pair to the 40 mm men’s Classic Semi Skeleton.
Does the RE-ND0024E have a sapphire crystal?
No. This reference uses boxed mineral glass on the front and a mineral exhibition back, matching the Classic Semi Skeleton ladies family. Sapphire appears on other Orient Star lines (Contemporary sports, many F6/F7 models), not on this boxed-crystal ladies case.
What is the water resistance of the RE-ND0024E?
50 metres (5 bar). Fine for rain and washing hands. Not intended for swimming, showering, or diving.
Does the RE-ND0024E have a date or power-reserve hand?
No. The ladies Classic Semi Skeleton layout is time plus the open heart at 9. Power-reserve indication belongs to larger Orient Star calibres such as F6F42 / F6R42, not 55C40 on this case.
