The Oblvlo Multi-Function Automatic Starry Night is a mechanical dress watch that combines traditional Roman-numeral styling with an unusually elaborate calendar display and an art-inspired dial. Part of Oblvlo’s AM-FG series, the model uses an automatic self-winding movement and integrates day, month, date and 24-hour day/night indications into a single display.
Its most recognizable element is the upper sub-dial, decorated with artwork inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night. Together with the rose-gold-plated steel case, sapphire crystal and brown calfskin strap, this gives the watch a distinctive position between a classical dress watch and a more decorative multi-function mechanical timepiece.
Design
The Oblvlo Multi-Function Automatic Starry Night uses a traditional round dress-watch architecture with a 42 mm stainless-steel case, giving the model a substantial presence while retaining classical proportions. The case is finished with rose-gold IP plating, with predominantly polished surfaces that complement the warm tones of the dial. At 13 mm thick, the watch is noticeably more substantial than a conventional three-hand dress watch, a proportion consistent with its multi-function mechanical construction. The fixed, narrow bezel leaves a large opening for the information-rich dial.
The cream-colored dial is the defining visual element. Applied rose-gold-tone Roman numerals are arranged around the perimeter, with their size and positioning adapted to accommodate the multiple displays. Slender central hands maintain the classical appearance, while the day-of-week indicator occupies the left side of the dial. At 12 o’clock, the month display incorporates artwork inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, introducing blue, yellow and turquoise tones into the otherwise restrained color scheme. A framed date window is positioned at 3 o’clock, while the lower sub-dial combines a 24-hour scale with a Moon-Sun day/night display.
The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, providing greater resistance to scratches than conventional mineral glass. Completing the watch is a dark brown calfskin leather strap with crocodile-style embossing. Its 20 mm lug width maintains balanced proportions between the 42 mm case and strap, while the brown leather works naturally with the rose-gold case and cream dial.
Case & Construction
The case of this Oblvlo Multi-Function Automatic Starry Night is manufactured from 316L stainless steel with rose-gold IP plating and measures 42 mm in diameter, 13 mm in thickness and 48 mm from lug to lug. A 20 mm lug width allows the case to transition into a relatively narrow leather strap, helping preserve the formal character of the watch despite its comparatively substantial diameter.
A fixed polished bezel surrounds the sapphire crystal, while a conventional crown is positioned at 3 o’clock. The construction does not include an external rotating bezel or chronograph pushers, keeping the case profile visually consistent with a traditional multi-function dress watch.
Water resistance is rated at 50 meters (5 ATM). This level provides practical protection against rain, splashes and normal everyday contact with water, but the watch is primarily designed as an everyday and dress-oriented mechanical watch rather than an aquatic or sports model.
Movement
The Oblvlo Multi-Function Automatic Starry Night is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, meaning that a rotating mass inside the watch converts wrist motion into energy used to wind the mainspring. This allows the watch to maintain its power during regular wear without requiring a battery. Oblvlo’s current product documentation confirms the movement type as “Automatic Self-Wind“.
Some third-party descriptions associate this AM-FG configuration with a 21-jewel Chinese movement and suggest an architecture related to the Sea-Gull ST25 family. However, the current Oblvlo product page does not identify a specific calibre, movement manufacturer, jewel count, frequency, power reserve, stated accuracy or hacking capability. For that reason, identifying it definitively as an ST2528 or another specific Sea-Gull calibre would go beyond the specifications that can presently be verified.
What can be established is that the automatic movement drives the primary time display together with the watch’s day, month, date and 24-hour day/night indications, giving this model a considerably more complex functional architecture than a conventional three-hand automatic watch.
Functions & Complications
This Oblvlo Multi-Function Automatic Starry Night combines hours and minutes with day, month, date and 24-hour indications. The day of the week is displayed by the pointer sub-dial on the left, the month is incorporated into the upper Starry Night-themed display, and the numerical date is presented through the framed aperture at 3 o’clock.
The display at 6 o’clock requires an important distinction. Although Oblvlo and several retailers market the watch using “moon phase” terminology, available descriptions of this configuration identify the lower display as a 24-hour Moon/Sun or day/night indicator, rather than a true astronomical moon-phase mechanism following the approximately 29.5-day lunar cycle. This makes “Moonphase Calendar” useful as the model’s commercial description, but technically the function is better classified as a 24-hour day/night indication.
Performance
With a 42 mm diameter, 13 mm thickness and 48 mm lug-to-lug measurement, the Oblvlo Multi-Function Automatic Starry Night has a relatively substantial wrist presence for a dress-oriented watch. The 48 mm overall length keeps the dimensions reasonably controlled, while the 20 mm leather strap helps visually taper the watch toward the wrist. Its dimensions should therefore work particularly well for medium to larger wrists, although wearers accustomed to traditional compact dress watches may find it comparatively prominent.
Legibility is influenced by the complexity of the dial. The central hands and applied Roman numerals remain clearly distinguishable against the cream background, while the day, month, date and 24-hour displays require closer attention than a conventional three-hand layout. The sapphire crystal provides useful scratch resistance for regular wear, and 50-meter water resistance adds practical everyday protection. Overall, the watch is best suited to office, smart-casual and formal environments where its decorative calendar layout can remain the main focus.

The Oblvlo Multi-Function Automatic Starry Night reflects the brand’s emphasis on visually distinctive mechanical watches at accessible prices. Oblvlo describes its watches as French-designed and produced in China, with the company focusing strongly on unconventional dial treatments and decorative interpretations of mechanical watchmaking.
This watch expresses that approach particularly clearly through its Starry Night-inspired calendar display, Roman numerals, rose-gold finish and multi-function automatic architecture. Its sapphire crystal, mechanical movement and useful calendar indications add practical substance to the artistic presentation, while the Moon-Sun display gives the watch a celestial appearance without functioning as a true astronomical moon-phase complication.
