Our take on the Orient 200 m Mens Mako III Automatic Watch, Blue

The Orient Mako III (Kamasu) is a 200 m automatic dive watch with an in-house Japanese movement, a screw-down crown and a sapphire crystal. It stands out in its class for combining sapphire, 200 m water resistance and a hacking, hand-winding movement at a price below most Swiss and Japanese rivals. It suits daily wear, office use and light water sports. Against the Seiko 5 Sports and Citizen Promaster, it offers sapphire and higher water resistance but a less recognized brand name.
