Orient Launches 'Orient Stratus' Contemporary Collection with 75th Anniversary Commemorative Models
News Release
September 4, 2025
Epson Sales Co., Ltd.
Introduction
Epson Sales Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the release of three limited-edition models in the new 'Orient Stratus' contemporary collection, representing the pinnacle of Orient's offerings. These watches will be available starting September 18, 2025. The 'Orient Stratus' series is highly appealing to watch enthusiasts due to its modern design, diverse variations, and accessible pricing.
Design Philosophy
The series name "Stratus" originates from an Italian musical term that accelerates tempo to create climax, evoking a sophisticated urban lifestyle. This series is based on the popular "Semi-Skeleton" model's design, with its theme expressing urban scenery. The wedge-shaped indices on the dial represent towering skyscrapers, while the concentric circles beneath them evoke the arcs found in modern architecture. The unique mirror finish on the case lugs, featuring an inverted R curve, adds a distinctive shine.
New 75th Anniversary Models
To commemorate Orient's 75th anniversary, three new models are being introduced:
- 'Orient Stratus Sun & Moon': Limited edition of 2,500 units (200 domestic, 2,300 international).
- 'Orient Stratus Semi-Skeleton': Limited edition of 2,800 units (200 domestic, 2,600 international).
- 'Orient Stratus Date': Limited edition of 2,900 units (100 domestic, 2,800 international).
Common features across these models include the italicized "Orient" logo from 75 years ago on the dial and an overall sophisticated grey tone. The grey nuanced color dials harmonize with the distinctive radiating finish and three-dimensional wedge-shaped indices, enhancing the series' urban design. Orange accents around the hands and luminous indices provide a striking contrast. The see-through case back reveals the mechanical movement and is engraved with the italicized "Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary" mark and a limited-edition serial number. Each watch comes with a specially designed 75th Anniversary box.
