Orient Mako-3" Japanese Automatic/Hand-Winding 200m Diver Style Watch

Any Orient from the Mako 3, Ray 3, or Kamasu 2 series is an incredible buy. In fact, it's baffling that brands like Seiko can still sell their low spec, overpriced desk divers when these Orients are available. This is my second Mako 3, and just as it happened with the 1st one I have to report the watch is way more beautiful in life than in pictures. The watch is pretty enough as it comes out the box, but really levels up when you add a custom bracelet from "Miltat." These bracelets range in price between $60-$90 USD. And yes, the watch is beautiful enough to warrant such upgrades. The 1st pics are featuring the factory bracelet, then with some Nato Straps, then with the Miltat bracelet I recommend, and finally, I show it next to the Kamasu 2, the Ray 3, and many other Orient watches as well for comparison. Conclusion: A watch that cost less than $300 USD, yet comes with an automatic movement with 40 hours of power reserve, 200 meters of water resistance, unidirectional bezel with 60 mins markers, and a unique look and feel. Simply put, there's nothing else like it in the market.

This is an absolutely beautiful watch with a gorgeous Sunburst dial. I love the fact that it's now coming with a sapphire crystal, although I wish it was domed instead of flat. The bezel action is great with no playback. The style and dial color make it appropriate for just about any setting from sports to casual to business dress and with a strap change to leather, possibly even formal wear, although not black-tie. Timing of the movement is almost perfect and measured at less than minus one second per day! The only drawback is that the bracelet does not have solid end links in the clasp is only adequate, but it's functional and looks great on the wrist especially if you have a larger wrist. I have no need to replace it other than to switch it out with a leather strap based on the outfit and occasion. I highly recommend this beautiful watch.

I love this watch. Been eyeing it for a while before pulling the trigger. I’m not one to over indulge but wanted a nice reputable watch brand to wear as my daily. This has been a true warrior for over a year and I love the design. Would recommend to anyone looking for a watch.

I bought a blue Mako 3 as a daily work watch, and it is an amazing piece of equipment. The automatic movement is very quiet, even the self-winding rotor. The lume is pretty good, lasting most of the night. I like the color, and the 22mm bracelet gives it a look and feel of heft that you miss with some smaller sizes. Even my wife (who said "You bought another watch?") remarked the other night that it was a very nice looking piece. The movement runs about 20 seconds fast per day, but I'll give it a little time to settle in before I worry about adjusting it. It's within their stated tolerances, and I'd rather have it fast than slow. I've only once had it off my wrist long enough to have the movement run down, and their 40 hours of reserve power seems accurate. Definitely will not be my last Orient.

I have a collection of watches and I always come back to this one. It is my daily driver! Very sturdy and goes well with a lot. The bezel have a great click and the movement is accurate. It will die over the weekend cause I usually wear something else or nothing, but that is expected. Would highly recommend!

Great watch, excellent band, love it

This watch is special. It is an elegant diver with a unique dial color. It is very well built, easy to operate, and has very good dimensions. My only gripe is the weight of the bracelet. I changed it to fabric and it's great! Highly recommended!

The stock photo isn’t completely true to life, and it’s more attractive in person. The dial is more of a subdued brick red / dusty rose color. The bezel is mostly bronze colored with ruby red from 12 to 3. An unusual mix of colors, but they work well together. The bracelet gets a lot of criticism in online reviews, undeserved in my opinion. It’s nicely polished, substantial and classy. It’s a very nice watch that looks more expensive than it is. I expect that’s true of all the color options. Update: After a few weeks of wearing this watch, the accuracy has been really good. Mine runs about a minute or two fast PER WEEK! That’s remarkable for a self winder in this price range.

Description is clear about everything, except it doesn't say this is made in Thailand. Nothing against Thai made watches, but that you should know in advance. I still like it and will keep it.

La calificación debe ser acorde al precio y versión, dado que en esta misma publicación se ofrecen diferentes variantes y no todas tienen las mismas características, en mi caso adquirí la versión gris del mako III, y para esta versión, pese a las características que faltan en este rango de precios para la marca orient, como son un mejor brazalete que sea maquinado y que tenga un bisel cerámico, y que micromarcas si están ofreciendo en este mismo rango de precios esas características (250 a 300 usd) pero por lo demás es un excelente reloj, tiene un estilo relajado y versátil, es un reloj perfecto para uso diario y para casi cualquier escenario, viene con algunas mejoras respecto de los ray, mako y kamasu, por ejemplo el cristal de zafiro que en los primeros ray y mako no tenían, además viene con una corona más grande y fácil de manipular, tiene un toque de elegancia y refinamiento por los bordes de índices y manecillas, y el recuadro de la fecha que vienen remarcados en color dorado, los acabados se ven de gran calidad y se siente un reloj de un mayor precio, muy muy recomendado, por eso le doy 5 estrellas.

Nice clean looking watch. Keeps good time for a budget automatic. One thing to note, for watches in this price range the bracelet is light and feels cheap.

Réceptions rapide, bien emballé, bien protégé. Produit impeccable. Je suis très satisfait.

El famoso MAKO trapo! Excelente reloj. Ofrece más de lo que pagas por el. Luce muy bien en la muñeca. Orient es calidad sin duda. En rojo está muy bonito. Lo recomiendo sin duda. Los materiales son de excelente calidad.
