Orient Star has continuously worked on efforts to develop better movements. For example, in 1996, Orient Star released an evolved caliber 46 equipped with a power reserve for the first time. Then in 2017, it was further enhanced into F7 movement, opening up a whole new world with a semi-skeleton model featuring a mechanical moon face representing the phases of the moon. In 2021, Orient Star developed the F8 movement using a silicon escape wheel with cutting-edge technology.
