FOR SALE is my high end Orient Star Classic Retrograde MODEL WZ0021DE, which at the time I purchased it, was only available in Japan. I am the first owner, and this watch comes complete with inner and outer boxes, manual and warranty card (warranty now expired) and all original links. The watch is in lovely condition, mostly kept on my watch winder as I'm starting to reduce my collection of more formal watches. But if you are in the market for something that looks gorgeous in any formal setting, this watch is perfect. In lovely condition, with some minor swirling on the clasp (see pictures). Feel free to PM me for any questions or further pictures. Asking $475 + $25 shipping anywhere in Canada. No trades at this time.

ate Indication
Movement: Automatic (with Manual Winding), Retrograde
The Retrograde inherits the heritage of mechanical watches, while featuring more sophisticated designs and specifications. A new indication for day of the week has been added. The movement of the retrograde mechanism that was developed after a two-year effort offers a unique hand movement function that returns the hand to the Monday position as soon as a week has elapsed. This is a watch fit for diverse life settings, with substantial mechanisms lying behind its subtle, yet sophisticated appearance. Features include:
1. A retrograde mechanism (day of the week hand) The word "retrograde" literally means a return to the starting point. The unique mechanism makes the hand return to the starting point in an instant, from the Sunday to Monday position, when a week has elapsed.
2. Incorporating highly visible hour and minute hands The hour and minute hands have been cut in peak shape and feature different finishes on the two sides: matte and mirror finish. The design further enhances visibility.
3. Modern rotor design A see-through caseback panel that enables the movement to be seen on the rear of the case has been adopted. The rotor is also of elegant and modern design, very representative of ORIENT STAR.
4. Secondhand halt mechanism
5. Self-winding & Hand-winding movement
The Orient Star Retrograde watch is powered by an Orient made 40A50, 22-jewel automatic (self-winding) movement that can be hand wound and has hacking capability. It has a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating and a power reserve of 40 hours which can be monitored via a power reserve at 12:00 on the dial. It has a retrograde mechanism (day of the week hand). The word "retrograde" literally means a return to the starting point. The unique mechanism makes the hand return to the starting point in an instant, from the Sunday to Monday position, when a week has elapsed. The date is shown in a sub-dial at 9:00.
The beautifully decorated Orient Star movement and rotor can be seen in action via an exhibition window case back. The hour and minute hands have been cut in peak shape and feature different finishes on the two sides : matte and mirror finish. The hands and hour dots are treated with a luminous material for telling time in the dark. The watch comes with a high grade Orient Star stainless steel bracelet with a dual push-button deployant clasp. It is a beautiful timepiece with a gorgeous textured black dial.
