Orient Star has introduced the Sakigake Three Hand for its 75th anniversary, removing the power-reserve indicator and date found on many of its watches. The automatic watch comes in four dial colors, with prices starting at €880; the copper version is limited to 900 pieces.
Orient Star has introduced the Sakigake Three Hand, a 75th-anniversary automatic watch that removes both the power-reserve indicator featured on its dials since 1996 and the date display. The change gives the Japanese brand a simpler everyday model, with prices starting at €880.
The Sakigake Three Hand has a 38.7mm case made from 316L stainless steel and a newly designed bracelet. Its sunburst dial features faceted, petal-shaped hour markers and skeletonized hands. Orient Star is offering four dial colors: gold, silver, light blue and copper. The copper version is limited to 900 pieces.
Inside is the brand’s in-house F7542 automatic movement, which offers more than 50 hours of power reserve, according to the source report. The watch also has sapphire crystal on the front and back, 100 meters of water resistance and a screw-down crown.
The light-blue model is priced at €880, described in the source as just under $1,000. The copper limited edition costs €960, or about $1,088. The report does not give prices for the gold and silver versions.
A Simpler Dial for Orient Star
Removing the power-reserve indicator marks a visible shift for a brand whose watches have carried that feature since 1996. The Sakigake Three Hand also drops the date, leaving a dial focused on its markers and hands. That makes the model a notable addition to Orient Star’s anniversary lineup, while keeping the familiar practical details of an automatic watch, including 100-meter water resistance and a screw-down crown.
Its listed prices place the watch below €1,000, while the copper edition carries a higher price and a stated production limit. The figures give buyers a clear starting point, though the source does not provide pricing for every color or details about availability by market.
Orient Star’s 75-Year Milestone
Orient Star has made watches since 1951. The Sakigake Three Hand is presented as a different direction for the company as it marks its 75th anniversary: a three-hand design that omits two elements often used to add information to a watch dial.
The power-reserve display had been part of Orient Star dials since 1996, according to the source report. On this model, the movement still has a power reserve of more than 50 hours; the change is that the indicator is no longer displayed on the dial.
“The new Sakigake Three Hand does away with the power-reserve indicator that has appeared on Orient Star dials since 1996.”

Retail Details to Watch
Buyers will need to look to Orient Star’s regional listings and retailers for release dates, local pricing and availability by dial color.
