ORIENT: Mechanical Revival Watch, Metal Strap - 40.8mm (RA-AR0201B)

Orient Star RA-AR0201B – Retro Future Camera Automatic Watch (Black Dial, Metal Strap, 40.8mm)

The RA-AR0201B, part of Orient Star’s Retro Future Camera Revival Collection, pays tribute to the mechanical artistry of both cameras and watches. First launched in 2005, this reimagined version integrates modern upgrades while retaining the signature design elements that made the original iconic.

Inspired by analog camera mechanisms, the dial mimics aperture blades, the bezel resembles an aperture ring, and the crown design evokes a classic winding lever. Unique details like the crown guard and the case back—shaped to resemble a camera’s viewfinder—further enhance the nostalgic, mechanical aesthetic.

Inside, the in-house Caliber F6S22 automatic movement offers reliable performance, complete with hand-winding and hacking capabilities. This watch blends vintage inspiration with contemporary refinement, making it a standout for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
