My son came home from school yesterday, all excited about a dive watch that he happened to see online. Being an expert swimmer, he has a liking for dive watches so I guessed he would be gaga over some new diver model from one of the famous watch brands out there. On questioning him further, he revealed it to be an Orient watch, precisely the Orient Mako III RA-AA0011B19B Sports Automatic 200M Men’s Watch. His enthusiasm was pretty infectious – enough to arouse my curiosity to find out more about the watch. My online research came up with a good deal of information on the Orient Mako III Sports Automatic.
Zeta Watches, having an online watch store at https://www.zetawatches.com had it on sale, in fact they have a huge collection of wristwatches from various brands on sale but for now I was interested only in the Orient Mako III. I found that the overall look of the latest offering in the Orient Mako series was quite impressive. The deep red, almost maroon coloured bezel lends a different definition to this beautiful timepiece.
I call it a beautiful piece because the colour combinations on this watch really stand out. The dial is black, perfectly contrasted with the hour and minute markers in white. The hour markers are large, readable indices and the sword-shaped hands add to the clarity of the watch. The design of the watch is such that you could tell the time even at a fleeting glance.
The Orient Mako III is powered by a Japanese automatic movement. The dial face is covered with hardened mineral crystal. The uni-directional rotating bezel, the screw down crown and a solid case back ensure that the watch remains sturdy and durable even with rough use.
Everything about the Orient Mako III Sports Automatic Men’s watch displays clarity, even the day and date window positioned at 3 o’clock is highly legible. Additionally, luminous hands and markers ensure easy reading of the time at night.
Being a dive watch, it is expected to have high water resistance and the Orient Maki III Sports Automatic doesn’t disappoint. This watch is water resistant up to a depth of 200 meters, great for people who swim or dive, just like my son. The watch comes with a rubber strap, again a good option for a dive watch.
Orient’s Japanese craftsmanship is known for creating some unique timepieces that have become an instant hit with watch fans. The Mako Collection from Orient has been well received by the customers. Orient Mako III Sports Automatic is an improvement over the previous models. Even if you’re not a diver, this is a great watch to have in your collection. It is very versatile – can be easily paired with formal or casual wear.
