About this deal

By having a manual winding capability, the F6922 movement just makes life easier. If you are thinking of laying down the Mako for a few days, just give it a good 20-30 rotations on the crown each day to keep it running.

Orient suggests that deviations from the accuracy claims should not be regarded within one day but within a one week period of results. All in all, this is a pretty typical dive watch case design. At this price, very few manufacturers put much effort or R&D into the case design or level of finish, so I can’t fault it here, but I do appreciate how Orient will still attempt to go even slightly above and beyond with the design itself. Dimensions, Comfort, WearabilityIt seems that the orange dial and pepsi bezel versions from the original Makodidn’t make the cut. It’s a shame though because I know there are a lots of people on that loves the orange dial and pepsi bezel. This advancement was a breakthrough in the watch industry. This sped up and enabled the production of more accurate and cost-efficient pieces. The Orient Mako has been something of an insider tip among watch enthusiasts for several years.With prices often below 200 USD, it offers world-class quality at remarkably affordable prices. Even the most popular entry-level Seiko watches can struggle to compete. Despite its low price tag, the Orient Mako is a robust diving watch that can stand up to the challenges and stressors of everyday life. It even offers practical functions like a day-datedisplay and unidirectional rotatable diving bezel. Thanks to its 60-minute scale, you can use the bezel to measure periods of time, such as dive durations or when cooking time-sensitive recipes. Orient Mako II: A cheaper and smart option for those into recreational water activities. A good investment with sleek design and reliable quality for any watch enthusiast Not only does Orient top the charts for cost-friendly watches but also in the premium or high-end timepieces. Orient is the more sensible option for those interested in premium watches.

Here are some points to consider that will help you decide whether you should buy the Orient Mako II or not. Movement The original Orient Mako had an Orient 46943 automatic movement which was notorious for having inaccurate movement and weak functionality. Both brands create high-quality options for different types of watch categories. However, there are areas in which one brand performs better than the other. Mako II, Ray II (Ref: saa0200ab9, saa0200bd9, saa0200cw9, faa02009d9, faa02001b9, faa02002d9, faa02003b9, faa02004b9, faa02005d9) The Epson caliber YN56 (see Epson caliber YN55) appears to be essentially an F6922 without the Orient branding, for use in non-Orient watches. The finishing on the F6922 VS. YN55 is not the same. The finishing on the YN55 is closer to the Seiko NH35, which it is often compared to.

The choice between the two boils down to the type of activity, budget, and of course, personal preference. To me, the end result looks like Orient was going for a polished look but decided to cheap out halfway. I would have just preferred that the entirety of the case was brushed. It would also help to bring out the dial by keeping the case more subtle. Since then, the growth and presence of Orient watches have grown exponentially. It has grown to be one of the TRUSTED BRANDS in the watch industry. The Breakthrough of Seiko If not, then the watch will stop and it’s really a bother to have to adjust the time, day and date. Keep in mind you also have to adjust the am/pm for the watch too which is a pain in the arse. The screwed down crown has Orient logo engraved on it (which is a very nice detail btw). It is protected by a crown guard that is extended beautifully from the case. The sides of the case is polished while the top is brushed. There is a slight sloping on the bezel which is quite nice to look at.
