ORIENT STAR M42 Sports Diver 1964 2nd Edition RE-AU0602E

Background

Ryūsendō Cave in Iwate Prefecture is one of Japan’s three major limestone caves. More than 5,000 m long and designated a national natural monument, it attracts visitors with remarkably clear underground lakes whose glowing water is known as Dragon Blue.

If this enchanting scenery has left a lasting impression, this watch offers a way to carry a reminder of it on your wrist.

Following the first Diver 1964, the Diver 1964 2nd Edition takes inspiration from a different historic model, the Calendar Auto Orient. Versions include a black dial close to the original and a Dragon Blue theme inspired by Ryūsendō Cave.

Dragon Blue
Inspired by Ryūsendō Cave in Iwate, Japan, the dial evokes the clear, shimmering blue-green underground lakes. Round markers from the Calendar Auto Orient and a five-link bracelet with polished and brushed finishes blend vintage character with the modern Dragon Blue theme.

Specifications
Broadly similar to the first edition, the watch offers 200 m water resistance and meets ISO 6425 standards for air diving. A power-reserve indicator sits at 12 o’clock, with a date window at 3. Made in Japan, it uses Orient’s in-house F6N47 movement. An original silicone strap is included for easy changes.
