ORIENT Kamasu/Mako III Men's Automatic Manual Winding Sports Steel or Silicone Divers' Watch with Screw Crown and Sapphire Crystal

This watch is just amazing if an automatic is what you are looking for. It looks gorgeous and you can really feel the quality in this product. The dial colour is very difficult to get on camera, or looks much more impressive in reality. The bezel is a tiny bit unaligned with the chapter ring but that doesn't bother me that much. I did have to ask a replacement as the first unit had a small almost really unnoticeable scratch in the dial. I don't like the bracelet, but then I prefer rubber straps. It is quite accurate and precise. In 12 day test it ran faster 4 seconds a day, quite decent for an automatic. The other detail I didn't quite like it's the crown, it felt a bit too small for this watch. But even then, amazing lumen, gorgeous look, quality movement and an almost unscratchable sapphire glass. Quite a bang for the buck. No regrets. This is something that can make quite a long last meaningful gift for someone special, easily. Just a wonderful timepiece, I just can't stop checking the time. :)

If you are in the marked for at a budget friendly automatic diver watch, this is one of the very best there is. If not the best (of course subjective opinion). This watch is stunning to look at, easy to read and precise. In-house movement. Manual wind and second-hand hacking. Sapphire crystal is NOT the norm in this price range so the fact that this watch also has that is amazing. Some points to note: 1. The bezel clicks are not as tight as on more expensive watches. Although it has 120 ticks. 2. The metal band is rattles alot and does not have solid end-links. Again, not expecting this at this price so I can't call it a con really. Swap out the band to something else and you are good to go. I must once again stress that this watch blows my mind when it comes to bang for you buck! Look no further. The king of budget automatic diver, the Seiko SKX, has in my opinion just been knocked of the throne. Go check out some videos on Youtube. The green/blue/teal color on the dial is beautiful! Also shipping was fast and no problems.

This watch is Very Comfy, a perfect size for my modist wrists. it's a 41.5mm watch but it wears closer to that of a 40mm thanks to a short lug to lug measurement. The Sapphire crystal is defiately a brilliant feature for the under £200 range, outclassing all of its main rivals and is extremely impressive value considering you also get a hacking and handwinding in-house automatic movement - not only this but mine is running at an incredible +0.5 seconds a day. With a 200m water resistance you will never have to worry about getting it wet, its perfectly capable of going diving in the sea and lounging in pools. The lume is also incredible, extremely legible and long lasting. The dial is a beautiful sunburst effect, looking just as welcome on a desk as it does in the ocean. This is complimented by the applied indices, date window and uniquely charming hands (especially with the seconds hand and its red tip), all surrounded by a grippy 120 click bezel with an aluminium insert, it feels good and lines up perfectly with little play. Honestly the only drawbacks are that the crown can sometimes be awkward to screw down and the bracelet. Although better than many bracelets it is let down by hollow end links and a stamped clasp, both very prone to rattling, which can be easily fixed with a strapcode bracelet or a good nato strap in my opinion. Overall this watch offers extremely good value with a great movement, 200m water resistance, a fantastic brand and sapphire crystal. I would 100% reccomend this to anybody looking for a dive watch at this price range especially given that the iconic Seiko SKX has been discontinued. The Kamasu is a worthy spiritual successor to that watch and is superior in a number of ways, which is why i now think it should be your obvious choice in this segment f the market.

As a fan of Seiko watches, I've been looking to expand my collection and came across Orient and their catalogue of great looking pieces. At half the price of the RRP who could resist? I wasn't looking for over flashy design so decided on a black dial. The specs for this model speak for themselves. 200m water resistance, Sapphire crystal and "in-house" automatic movement with great looks and build quality. It is comfortable on the wrist once adjusted.. the clasp has 4 micro adjusents. Some reviews say that they think the bracelet is of lesser quality but I think it's fine.. certainly better than on my Seiko 5. This watch really is great value for under or around £200. I am so pleased I decided to buy it.

EDIT: I absolutely recommend a leather strap on this particular watch, any complaints i had about this watch with the stock bracelet, completely disappeared after trying a decent leather strap on it. Love the dial colour, goes from almost black in low light conditions to green and even blueish in the sun. Very accurate, maybe I was lucky, it gained 35s in two weeks, that brings it down to an average of 2.5/s fast per day. The watch wears small thanks to it's sleek case, it is on the bigger size on my 6 inch wrist but it fits well. I accidentally changed the date on the watch between 8PM and 4AM once, the movement was not affected or damaged and continues to operate fine. The brushed finishing on the case does not match the one on the bracelet, the bracelet has hollow end links and a pressed clasp, the hollow end links are quite thick so I wouldn't worry about their durability, they do however squeak for the first 3 days of wear, after the squeaking goes away just the mild rattling remains which I don't dislike. My biggest gripe would be the clasp, it is very rattly and prone to stretching, I replaced mine with a milled clasp I found on ebay for £6. The bracelet pulls hairs sometimes but it is comfortable, I wear mine slightly loose. Overall happy with the watch, I do not expect £1000 watch quality in a £200 watch. You may be able to get better value for the money with some microbrands, specifically chinese ones but it is up to you to decide if that is watch you seek.

Beautiful watch. Bought for my 19 year old son as his first quality watch. He adores it. Accurate time keeping. Watch looks and feels much more expensive than it was. Bracelet is smooth and strong. Clasp is easy to use, Face is sooooo pretty and the watch stays comfy after wearing it all day. Vetmry versatile too as goes with most outfits he wesrs and different occasions. A great introduction to quality watches for my son. He will keep this watch and build his collection from it.

Orient is certainly a brand that you won't know if you don't have an interest in horology. You won't know that their watches exist... but still, within the value/entry price category there is pretty much nothing that compares with Orient's models. The Kamasu does the same thing that Bambino does to the dress watch category. Under any comparable aspect, it is better than its competitors... and sometimes in line with a category above. The highlights of this watch have been widely expressed by other reviewers. I would agree with all the positive ones. Unexpectedly, I'd also like to highlight the lume. Very powerful and visible even when you are in a shaded area (see my pictures... we are talking better than Luminox). On the negative side, the bracelet is just average (but not worse than what Seiko do at this price). Not surprising, but very easy to work around as you can see from my pictures. The watch can be easily paired with leather straps that recall the colour of the dial and the bezel. This watch is thoroughly recommended and I think that I will keep due to its versatility and peculiar dial, even if I own more sophisticated pieces. Talking again about the dial, for this price range it is really noteworthy. Note that as the material is reflective, it might not be to everyone's liking.

This is a great watch, you get a lot for the money. Considering you get a good movement, hack, wind, style, finishing, saphire crystal from a good brand. I swapped out the strap for a blue shark skin strap in the pictures. The blue dial is subtle. A favourite watch now. So much so that when I was wanting a black and gold trim diver watch I ended up getting this model again. I have small wrists at 6.25 inches, normally I wouldnt get a diameter this big, but the short lug to lug and style makes it work. I can stop daydreaming about that seamaster... ...for now.

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.

Great looking watch with plenty of lume. The red on this watch dial is another level, absolutely stunning. The watch has great accuracy too, variation of 3 seconds in a 24 hour period. Your mileage may differ. Wears smaller than a 42mm.

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.

Orient Kamasu Blue Dial to bez wątpienia najlepszy automatyczny diver na początek przygody z zegarkami. Japoński mechanizm in-house, szkło szafirowe, obrotowy bezel i wodoodporność do 200 metrów w tym przedziale cenowym zdecydowanie plasują Kamasu na 1 miejscu. Zegarek jest bardzo dobrze wykonany, nie jest zbyt ciężki a wymiary koperty są w moim przypadku idealne. Luma jest ok, indeksy i wskazówki są bardzo dobrze widoczne w ciemności. Oryginalne wzornictwo, zegarek nie upodabnia się na siłę do innych modeli i przykuwa uwagę. A na koniec kolor tarczy - według mnie wersja niebieska (a raczej granatowa) jest najpiękniejsza, cudownie wygląda i zmienia się w zależności od kąta padania na nią promieni słonecznych. Jestem zachwycony tym zegarkiem i nie żałuję zakupu, w tej cenie to absolutny killer.
