About this deal

Orient Bambino Open Heart: A better option for those who prefer a more sophisticated dress watch. This is perfect for men leaning towards a more elegant style to complete their outfits. Also, the way in which the bracelet’s endlinks meet the case is done so well to the point where the bracelet becomes an organic expression of the case and vice versa. I’ve handled other pieces before when the bracelet was nice and the case was nice – but when they were together they just weren’t jiving. That’s not what’s happening here with the Orient Mako II – there’s magic where case and bracelet meet. By having a manual winding capability, the F6922 movement just makes life easier. If you are thinking of laying down the Mako for a few days, just give it a good 20-30 rotations on the crown each day to keep it running.

Also made of stainless steel, a great alternative would be the Orient Ray II or the Mako XL dive watch. The bezel can also be too stiff to rotate at times, so you have to put in a little effort in turning it.

This marks the COURAGE and CREATIVITY of Orient to merge modern designs with traditional features of a watch. Seiko: A Classic That Never Gets Old As a result of this case cloning, any replacement Kamasu bracelets will apparently also fit on the Mako III as well.

For a simple and clean look, you can’t go wrong with a jubilee bracelet. Strapcode’s Kamasu bracelets fit the ‘Kamasu II’ perfectly. Alternatives to the RA-AA0810N19B Orient ‘Kamasu II’ / RA-AA08 Models Also, numerals and indices are slightly thinner on the Mako II. Additionally, the dial's color is a bit more matte than the first edition. This new model, though…I wish I'd remembered to turn my mic on when unboxing. The words that came out of my mouth were "this is FIT!". I like Orient watches; they are great value, some of them already look decent, but this is the first one I've seen that I think truly looks sexy. Orient is now a sexy watch brand! This is the first Orient I've seen that I think would undoubtedly upgrade your style and I truly hope this comes across properly on camera. If you're not convinced, I'd urge you to try and see one of these in the flesh as this version at least is absolutely stunning. Although not the top-selling models in the watch industry, field watches are durable and affordable options.However, improvements in production allowed Orient to put this quality calibre into more affordable models like the Mako II. From a glance, Orient and Seiko dive watches have a lot of similarities. The two options sport a minimalist yet functional design with durable stainless steel bracelets. Orient chooses to keep the design of the Mako 2 just like the original Mako. The dial or watch face actually is the same. Orient knows the looks of the Mako is well loved by fans and I really agree with their decision to keep it like that. The Mako USA II has a higher quality bracelet with improvements such as solid end links (compared to the Mako II's hollow end-links).
