The Orient Classic Sun and Moon RA-AK0007S is the ivory-dial, rose gold-tone version of Orient’s large dress automatic with a 24-hour sun-and-moon disc. Roman numerals, day and date, sapphire crystal, and a brown leather strap. It is a statement Classic, not a slim Bambino and not a 200 m diver. Shop it as a Japan-made Orient from Chronospride in Australia.
Orient’s UK catalogue lists the F6B24 at 42.5 mm across, 55.0 mm lug-to-lug, and 14.0 mm thick, with 22 mm lugs. That length is why it wears bigger than a 40 mm Bambino even though the diameter looks similar on paper. Water resistance is 50 metres. The exhibition back shows the in-house automatic.
Who the RA-AK0007S suits
Buyers who want the sun-and-moon complication on a warm ivory dial rather than a white steel RA-AK0008S. Rose gold-tone case and brown leather read dress or evening; the 14 mm thickness and 55 mm lug-to-lug need a wrist that can take a tall Classic, not a 36 mm dress watch. If you want the white-dial steel sibling, see Orient Classic Sun and Moon RA-AK0008S. Collection context: Orient Sun and Moon Australia buying guide and Orient Classic.

Why this Sun and Moon is different
Orient’s Classic Sun and Moon is a stacked module watch: the 24-hour sun-and-moon disc sits with day and date, which is why the case is 14 mm thick. The disc is a day/night indicator, not an astronomical moonphase that tracks the lunar month. Ivory plus rose gold-tone is the warm set; RA-AK0008S is the cooler white-and-steel set on the same F6B24 architecture.
F6B24 adds hand-winding and hacking versus older Orient sun-and-moon quartz or non-hacking automatics. Sapphire on the front is the practical upgrade over mineral-crystal Bambinos. It is still a 50 m dress watch. Ignore template pages that list 200 m on this reference — Orient UK, and matching retailer spec sheets for RA-AK0007S, state 50 m.
Size and wear
42.5 mm diameter with 55 mm lug-to-lug is a large Classic. On a 16–17 cm wrist it will cover a lot of the arm; on smaller wrists a Bambino Sun and Moon (about 41.5 mm, shorter lugs) is the easier daily. Thickness of 14 mm means it will print under a tight cuff. The 22 mm leather strap with a folding clasp is the intended fit; the lug width is 22 mm if you swap straps.
Water resistance, crystal, and care
50 m is splash and rain, not swimming. Sapphire on the front handles desk wear better than mineral. The leather strap does not like water. Hand-wind if it has stopped; hacking seconds lets you set the time against a reference. Do not force the day/date around the danger zone near midnight — set time first, then calendar, as with other Orient day-date automatics.
Frequently asked questions
What movement does the Orient RA-AK0007S use?
In-house Orient F6B24: automatic with hand-winding and hacking seconds, 22 jewels, about 40 hours of power reserve, made in Japan. Same calibre family as the white RA-AK0008S.
Is the sun-and-moon disc a true moonphase?
No. It is a 24-hour day/night display (sun and moon on a disc), plus separate day and date windows. It does not track the 29.5-day lunar cycle.
What is the case size of the RA-AK0007S?
Orient lists 42.5 mm width, 55.0 mm lug-to-lug, 14.0 mm thickness, and 22 mm lug width. It wears larger than a 38.4 mm or 40.5 mm Bambino.
Does the RA-AK0007S have a sapphire crystal?
Yes — sapphire on the front, with an exhibition case back. Water resistance is 50 metres.
How is RA-AK0007S different from RA-AK0008S?
Same F6B24 Classic Sun and Moon architecture. RA-AK0007S is textured ivory with a rose gold-tone case and brown leather. RA-AK0008S is the white-dial, steel-case counterpart.
