This time, Orient introduces a new addition that is sure to captivate watch enthusiasts—four new models from the Semi Skeleton series in the Contemporary Collection, showcasing vibrant new dial colors.
New Dial Colors for Watch Enthusiasts
On February 14, 2024, Orient unveiled four new color variations for its iconic Semi Skeleton model. Shades like white, red, green, and light blue have been added to the dial lineup, offering even more options for watch lovers.
The Semi Skeleton is celebrated for its distinctive dial featuring a semi-transparent aperture at the 9 o’clock position, partially overlapping the small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, along with its signature case design. Its contemporary style has garnered worldwide admiration from users.
Casual Elegance Meets Luxury
The new dial colors lend a more casual vibe to the collection, making it particularly appealing to a younger audience. Among the new additions is a model with a gold-colored case and bracelet—a first for the Semi Skeleton series. The white dial paired with gold hands and indices creates a unique aesthetic, combining warmth with luxury.
Vibrant color combinations are also present in the red, green, and light blue dials. The red and light blue dials feature silver hands and indices, while the green dial showcases gold accents. The striking harmony and contrast of these colors make the Semi Skeleton even more captivating.

Retrograde hand — how does a retrograde hand work?
Retrograde is a watch complication that immediately catches the eye. Instead of making a full rotation around the dial, the hand moves along a designated arc, and upon reaching the end of the scale, it instantly returns to the start and begins the countdown anew. It can be used to display the date, the day of the week, minutes, seconds, power reserve or a second time zone. This striking movement is therefore not merely decorative, but part of a precisely engineered mechanism. Find out how the retrograde display works and in which watches you can see it in action.

A watch is an elegant and personal gift, which is why its packaging should make a good first impression even before the box is opened. It’s not just about pretty wrapping paper or a ribbon; it’s also about ensuring the watch is securely positioned so that the dial, case and strap do not shift around inside or rub against any hard parts. A well-chosen box, soft padding or a carefully folded gift bag make the present look more premium and immediately show that it has been prepared with a specific person in mind.
What does ‘Swiss Made’ mean, and what legal requirements must a watch meet?
‘Swiss Made’ is not merely a decorative inscription on the dial or a simple marketing slogan, but a legally protected designation of origin for a watch, confirming that it meets specific Swiss requirements regarding the movement, assembly, quality control and production costs. That is why Swiss Made watches are chosen not only for their prestige, but also for their association with precision, durability and high standards of craftsmanship. Before you compare the available models and choose a watch for yourself or as a gift, find out what ‘Swiss Made’ really means and why this detail can make a big difference when making a purchase.
