About this deal

In contrast to the Orient Sporty Chronograph, the tachymeter ring of the SSB359 is found on the bezel, effectively increasing the ease of use and readability. Another unique quality of this watch is that this model is also one of the few timepieces from Orient that doesn’t have a day and date window.

This Orient Star watch has 24 jewels and runs on a 40S60 caliber. Orient isn’t afraid to move away from traditional styles as well. Orient chooses to keep the design of the Mako 2 just like the original Mako. The dial or watch face actually is the same. Orient knows the looks of the Mako is well loved by fans and I really agree with their decision to keep it like that. These type of markers are usually referred to as “explorer markers” due to the similarity with Rolex Explorer, the watch that popularized this marker design. Orient Bambino Open Heart: A better option for those who prefer a more sophisticated dress watch. This is perfect for men leaning towards a more elegant style to complete their outfits. Just a few years ago, the Seiko SKX was the undoubted king of all affordable dive watches. With a reliable 200m water resistance rating and an affordable price tag, there wasn’t much competition. Heading into 2020, Orient changed the game by releasing the Orient Kamasu just as the Seiko SKX was being discontinued, the perfect storm for Orient to take over the affordable diver market.

The stopwatch accuracy is in increments of 1-second and can measure up to 30 minutes. The tachymeter bezel is located at the middle bottom window.

This seal of approval serves as a guarantee that a watch is suitable for professional SCUBA and diving activities with depths reaching 200 meters or 660 feet. For those that has passed on the Mako due to its old movement, then the new Mako 2 might spark that interest once again =) Where To Buy Orient Mako 2? With the Orient Mako, watch enthusiasts worldwide are the ones that benefited the most as there is an alternative to the Seiko SKX007& SKX009in the budget diving watch section. The Orient RA-AA0810N19B wears much like the Orient Kamasu on the wrist. Coming in at 41.8mm in diameter, the watch will have a very familiar fit to many considering 42mm tends to be the most common size for popular dive watches, such as the Seiko SKX. The conservative 46.8mm lug to lug helps keep the watch from looking too large on my 7″ wrist, filling the length of the wrist without overhanging. Wrists smaller than mine may find this watch wears a tad on the larger side, but not comically big that it would become unwearable. This move has created a base of loyal followers and ultimately contributed to the success of Orient.The market for high-end options behaves differently as it usually is unaffected by price nor product functionality.

The Mako 3, also known as the Kamasu, represents the most recent generation of Orient Mako watches. Like its predecessors, the Mako 3 has a 41.5-mm case that is water-resistant to 200 m (20 bar, 656 ft). It also features the caliber F6922, the same movement found in the Mako 2. However, Orient has also made some significant changes. These include the use of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and the design of the dial, bezel, and hands. Instead of sword hands, these watches have arrow-shaped hands with a luminous second hand. The second hand on first and second-generation Makos doesn't glow in the dark, making it difficult to tell if your watch is working properly under poor lighting conditions like those experienced underwater. For divers, this can be a matter of life and death.The main dial also holds the second hand of the chronograph. This also indicates that the sub-dials contain the main second’s counter.
