- Is the Orient Mako RA-AC0Q02L good for swimming?
- Yes. It is rated to 200 m and has a push-pull crown, so swimming and snorkeling are fine. Avoid pressing the pushers or crown underwater and have it pressure-tested after any service.
- Does it have a sapphire crystal?
- Yes, this version uses sapphire glass, which resists scratches far better than the mineral glass on older Makos and many rivals.
- Is it a real automatic watch?
