- Is the Mako III worth it over the Mako II?
- Yes for most buyers. The Mako III adds sapphire crystal and a refined case and bezel, while keeping the same reliable automatic movement. The Mako II is still fine if you prefer its slightly different dial and hands.
- How does it compare with the Orient Kamasu?
- Both use the F6922 and sapphire, but the Kamasu is 40 mm and slimmer, so it fits smaller wrists better. The Mako III is larger and has a more classic diver look.
- Does it have hacking and hand-winding?
- Yes. The F6922 movement stops when you pull the crown and can be wound by hand, with about 40 hours of power reserve.
- Can I swim and snorkel with it?
- Yes. It is rated to 200 m with a screw-down crown, which covers swimming and snorkeling. Have the gaskets checked before serious diving.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, a manual and the warranty card. Orient covers it with a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
- Does the bracelet have solid end links?
- The end links are solid, but the clasp and links are stamped and feel basic. Many owners swap to a leather or rubber strap.
