What to know

Orient’s Stretto Semi Skeleton combines an exposed balance with an overlapping small-seconds display. Faceted markers and obelisk-shaped hands preserve the broader Stretto design language, while the open-heart aperture makes the automatic mechanism part of the dial composition. Blue, red, green and gold-tone executions were included in the collection.

The in-house F6S22 offers hand winding, stop-seconds and approximately 40 hours of reserve. A steel bracelet uses a folding clasp. Gear Patrol’s August 2026 article concerns a final restock of references introduced in 2024, with promotional pricing at that time. This entry documents the missing watch without presenting that restock or its temporary discounts as a fresh model launch.
