About this deal

While I don’t religiously record the performance of the movement on a daily basis, I’ve spent enough time with enough of these to tell you that the 40 hour power reserve is about there and that I get a pretty good accuracy of between +6 to +12spd across the board on these movements.

Well needless to say, I absolutely love this watch. So much so that it has actually taken over my Orient Defender II as my go to daily watch, the one that I grab whenever I can’t or don’t have time to decide on what to wear. The dial refresh really did it for me and has caused my diver collection to expand beyond what I had originally limited it to. The most intriguing characteristic of the blue dial is its sunburst pattern. It is functional, uncluttered, clean and visually pleasing. Readability in a glance is warranted, same is valid for day and date.It comes in 4 designs, 3 standard models in grey, blue-green and blue gradation dials and a 2000pc limited edition burgundy dial in a copper plated case. The 3 standard models come on a metal bracelet while the limited edition comes on a vintage style leather strap.

ref. RA-AA0002L with a blue dial. Even though it is technologically identical to the previous model, this watch costs slightly more at 280 USD. The There are a few common features across all Kamasu watches: a 41.8-mm case, screw-down crown, unidirectional diving bezel, and a depth rating of 200 m (20 bar, 656 ft). The dials have a beautiful sunburst pattern that appears to change color depending on how the light hits it. The bar indices boast a generous coating of luminous material, which guarantees optimal readability under all lighting conditions. While the refs. RA-AA0005B and RA-AA0006L come on rubber straps, the rest of the collection is outfitted with three-piece link stainless steel bracelets. The straps and bracelets are each 22 mm wide. Because of the folded end links however it does rattle a bit which could be off putting to some. I do however like the sound of the rattle as it reminds me of the sound of armour clinking about when worn. I know many people have swapped them out for a Strapcode bracelet with custom solid end links and I do intend to try one out and compare them in the near future. Keep a lookout for that review.

Seiko SKX Vs Citizen Vs Orient Kamasu

You've got broad and lumed indexes complimenting the handset, which reminds me of those divers of the 1960s from Cimier, Longines, Iaxa, Rotary (to name just some). The bracelet is not that bad and lest we forget rolex used to use stamped clasps and hollow end links. The model I am reviewing today is the grey gradation dial variant. This piece I personally bought with my own money from BigTimeSGP. Hi there folks! My blue Kamasu has finally arrived, so for those of you wondering which of Orient's budget divers is for you I thought I'd record my initial impressions and make a few comparisons to the standard at the price point, the Seiko SKX 007. I will also make a few remarks regarding the original Orient Ray. I gave my blue Ray to my father and two years later came to miss the blue beater. The Kamasu is the replacement, and a bit of an upgrade.
