So how does the new Mako 2 fares up against the original Mako? I’ve summarized the details in below table: 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. The main dial also holds the second hand of the chronograph. This also indicates that the sub-dials contain the main second’s counter. Our Verdict: Which Is For You?

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.

Being a relatively new company, Orient was forced to shut down. After the war ended, they introduced the company as “Tama Keiki Company” before rebranding themselves a year later to “Orient Watch Company”. The Orient Mako II and Orient Ray II are both divers from Orient Watch Co., Ltd. They share many similar features, including the same movement and water resistance rating. The main differences are in the design and style of the watches. The Mako II has a more classic and traditional dive watch look, while the Ray II has a more modern and sporty look. The Orient Kamasu II case is made of 316L stainless steel. The watch has a mixture of brushed and polished finishes that is nothing to write home about, as they’re not done any better than other watches in this price range. It also has a luminous triangular pip at the noon position which is the standard for diver watches. 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.

x 47mm x 13mm – beautifully classic case shape with excellent mix of polished and brushed surfaces – bezel can be hard to turn at times Dial Also made of stainless steel, a great alternative would be the Orient Ray II or the Mako XL dive watch. Most of these calibers haven’t gone through technical improvements or innovations, even if the technology is present and sufficient. However, this doesn’t mean to say that the quality is subpar. This advancement was a breakthrough in the watch industry. This sped up and enabled the production of more accurate and cost-efficient pieces. Although this Seiko watch doesn’t have a power indicator and less amount of power reserve compared to Orient Star timepieces, it still has a good amount of power reserve amounting to about 41 hours.This watch from Orient made its way to the hearts of the diving community because of its price point and the fact that it comes with all distinct features of a genuine dive watch: luminous hands and indices, a screw-down crown, and a one-way rotating bezel.
