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

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.

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.

Great watch, excellent band, love it

This is my first orient watch. A lot of online reviewers have respect for the brand, and I liked the specs and color scheme of this Orient, so I thought I would try it. It arrived in a decent box and was well protected, but it barely fit inside the box. The Orient has a pleasantly dense feel to the band and case and the finishes are glossy and beautiful. The face is a lovely champagne color with a sunburst pattern. I love the mix of champagne, brown, and deep moss green. It’s very 70s, but in a good way. The face is nicely detailed and has great attention to detail. The second hand moves smoothly and the watch is easy to read at a glance. It keeps time well and isn’t noisy. It stays wound in my automatic winding case. The band is made from dense solid links. It looks great, and feels mostly nice, but something about the way the band moves and the sounds gives it a slightly lower grade feel than my similarly priced Timex, Bulova, or Citizen watches. It’s hard to put in words, and extremely subtle, but it feels like the bracelet does not match the quality of the rest of the watch. The clasp also feels a little “hollow” when locking closed. I love the size. The case is a touch thick, but overall it’s a moderate sized watch and fits me perfectly as a 5’7” and 135 pound male. I had to remove a few links, but it was easy to do with the right tools. All in all… a lovely 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.

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 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!

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!

Sehr schöne Uhr… war ein Geschenk und ist gut angekommen

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.
