  • Our take on the Orient Mako III Automatic Diver RA-AA0001

    The Mako III (RA-AA0001) is Orient's third-generation entry-level dive watch, running the in-house F6922 automatic with hacking and hand-winding. It stands out for sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, 200 m water resistance and a unidirectional bezel at a size and finish level usually found on pricier divers. The 42 mm case and 12.8 mm thickness suit medium-to-large wrists; smaller-wristed buyers often prefer the 40 mm Kamasu or the older Mako II. Owners rate it as a solid everyday diver with a reliable movement, though the bracelet and clasp feel basic next to Seiko's comparable models.

    Questions and answers

    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.
