ORIENT Kamasu/Mako III Men's Automatic Manual Winding Sports Steel or Silicone Divers' Watch with Screw Crown and Sapphire Crystal

As a fan of Seiko watches, I've been looking to expand my collection and came across Orient and their catalogue of great looking pieces. At half the price of the RRP who could resist? I wasn't looking for over flashy design so decided on a black dial. The specs for this model speak for themselves. 200m water resistance, Sapphire crystal and "in-house" automatic movement with great looks and build quality. It is comfortable on the wrist once adjusted.. the clasp has 4 micro adjusents. Some reviews say that they think the bracelet is of lesser quality but I think it's fine.. certainly better than on my Seiko 5. This watch really is great value for under or around £200. I am so pleased I decided to buy it.

Beautiful watch. Bought for my 19 year old son as his first quality watch. He adores it. Accurate time keeping. Watch looks and feels much more expensive than it was. Bracelet is smooth and strong. Clasp is easy to use, Face is sooooo pretty and the watch stays comfy after wearing it all day. Vetmry versatile too as goes with most outfits he wesrs and different occasions. A great introduction to quality watches for my son. He will keep this watch and build his collection from it.

Overall, after a couple of weeks, I can report I am extremely satisfied with this watch, my first automatic. It has many features not typically found at this price point on similar Seikos, for example, sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, hacking and hand winding, the lume is great, and so offers industry-leading value for money. This stands as easily one of the best sub-300 USD / 200 GBP watches out there. I was debating between this great red Kamasu and the gun metal grey so-called "Dress-KX" from Seiko. Design wise, I would prefer a less busy face with a simpler logo and less text, but that's my personal preference. The crown is small. It can be a bit of a fiddle to unscrew/screw back in given its small size, and I would have prefered something more substantial (Seiko 5s typically seem to have quite fat crowns). Also the bezel is polished with indentations only on the top angle, making it fairly slippery. Great once you have set it, but a bit awkward if you like to twist your bezel. I bought via Amazon US and got English and Spanish on the day wheel, though I am told from the European marketplace you will get a seconday-language as French.

This watch is just amazing if an automatic is what you are looking for. It looks gorgeous and you can really feel the quality in this product. The dial colour is very difficult to get on camera, or looks much more impressive in reality. The bezel is a tiny bit unaligned with the chapter ring but that doesn't bother me that much. I did have to ask a replacement as the first unit had a small almost really unnoticeable scratch in the dial. I don't like the bracelet, but then I prefer rubber straps. It is quite accurate and precise. In 12 day test it ran faster 4 seconds a day, quite decent for an automatic. The other detail I didn't quite like it's the crown, it felt a bit too small for this watch. But even then, amazing lumen, gorgeous look, quality movement and an almost unscratchable sapphire glass. Quite a bang for the buck. No regrets. This is something that can make quite a long last meaningful gift for someone special, easily. Just a wonderful timepiece, I just can't stop checking the time. :)

Beautiful watch. Probably THE most beautiful dial I have ever owned. I keep checking the time just so I can look at the watch! Size is ok for my 6.5 inch wrist. Bezel is creamy yet just stiff enough. Accuracy is fine as mechanical and I never expect perfection there. Excellent value for money. Bracelet is ok, comfortable and has lots of micro adjust points BUT it's incredibly hard to remove links! Maybe it's just my bracelet but I broke my adjusting tool on this bracelet. Just really hard to push the pins out and I have stiff bracelets in the past but this is something else. I would still recommend the watch however as it is soooo gorgeous. Thinking about the teal one now.

If you are in the marked for at a budget friendly automatic diver watch, this is one of the very best there is. If not the best (of course subjective opinion). This watch is stunning to look at, easy to read and precise. In-house movement. Manual wind and second-hand hacking. Sapphire crystal is NOT the norm in this price range so the fact that this watch also has that is amazing. Some points to note: 1. The bezel clicks are not as tight as on more expensive watches. Although it has 120 ticks. 2. The metal band is rattles alot and does not have solid end-links. Again, not expecting this at this price so I can't call it a con really. Swap out the band to something else and you are good to go. I must once again stress that this watch blows my mind when it comes to bang for you buck! Look no further. The king of budget automatic diver, the Seiko SKX, has in my opinion just been knocked of the throne. Go check out some videos on Youtube. The green/blue/teal color on the dial is beautiful! Also shipping was fast and no problems.

The Orient Kamasu is a top quality watch with top quality features (sapphire crystal, hand backing, etc) at a affordable price; thus being the perfect watch for someone looking to dive into the expensive hobby of watch collection. The design is also very interesting and isn't just a straight homage of a submariner; the colours are especially beautiful when out in the sun but are otherwise tame. The only gripe I have is with the bracelet which I do find lacking and noisy but I plan on replacing it with a jubilee bracelet once I properly wear it down.

Very good build quality, read a lot or reviews that said the strap wasn't great however seems solid enough to me. Overall a bit heavier than expected. My only small criticisms are the indentations around the outside of the dial catch the light and give it a bit of a bling look which wasn't what I was going for and the green dial variant I got is a lot darker than the pictures - almost black, so in hindsight if the all black option is cheaper just get that one. Conclusion very well made watch for the money and keeps time well.

Great looking watch with plenty of lume. The red on this watch dial is another level, absolutely stunning. The watch has great accuracy too, variation of 3 seconds in a 24 hour period. Your mileage may differ. Wears smaller than a 42mm.

Bilekte harika duruyor . Orta

Me encanta esta versión con la esfera rojo burdeos que al recibir luz directa se ve espectacular... Volvería a comprar este Orient Kamasu sin dudarlo,el precio está bien por lo que ofrece,cristal zafiro,200m,un movimiento fiable ,fecha,día y que es Orient marca con tradición relojera y buen hacer. Personalmente para que fuera aun más de mi agrado yo le pondría una corona más grande,un bisel de cerámica y lo haría en 44mm de caja mínimo.La correa es básica aunque para mi no ha sido un problema pues ya tenía en mente cambiarla por una nato...

Exceptional value for your money! I absolutely love this watch. Mine is extremely accurate. I have the blue, red, and green models. By far my most worn watches.
