I really love my Orient Star. I bought it a few years ago when I was working in Japan.
It is very accurate and eye catching.

Sure can John,

What attracted me to this watch was the inspiration behind it. The design team at Orient Star a few years ago wanted to capture some of those retro artifacts from our past that we were so fond of... cars, cameras and motorcycles. This model is based on a vintage (British or Italian) motorcycle.  One has to use their imagination to create the connection in one's mind's eye. To me it has the essence of a vintage mechanical object... the body may remind one of a piston, the section where the Orient Star name is located to me resembles the motorcycle gas tank, the white lower part could be the lower down-frame of the bike. Just use your imagination ;)  That is what the designers try to do... not recreate the actual object but recreate it symbolically or metaphorically.
