Orient Mako - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

This watch is truly an icon of watchmaking, its quality/price ratio is incredible: a manufacture movement, sapphire crystal and water resistance to two hundred meters. For less than two hundred and fifty euros, who can do better? The case is made of steel (mirror polished), as is the bezel (120 clicks). The baton indexes offer real readability. The date, meanwhile, is displayed in two languages: English or Spanish. Of course I would have preferred a date in French and the original steel bracelet is really not great…

It's again a purchase of love at first sight, pleasure, that's why I fell for this numbered anniversary model, certainly more expensive, but which also offers more visually compared to the Mako range. It has everything I like and more, the textured dial in gradient blues similar to the undulation of the ocean, a pattern that is reminiscent of the Omega Seamaster from before 2006. The applied indexes that in this context could serve as ships. The Arabic numerals at 12, 9 and 6 have other shapes and make it easier t…

I was looking for a colorful watch to change from the blue and dark colors. When I saw this watch in the window, it immediately attracted me. Its salmon-colored dial with sunburst finish combined with the shiny metal indexes and hands give me the feeling of a certain visual softness. My other watches have a larger diameter, the bezel of this little Mako is a hair under 40mm. I was afraid that its size would not fit my wrist too much (I am a novice), but I quickly got used to it and it's cool to have a watch that is…

Ouch Ouch, I can no longer enjoy this watch, but I sense that it is just temporary, the time to put other watches on my wrist, I will one day have to find in this Mako 2 everything that one can ask of a utilitarian watch .... and let's admit it, refined. Because yes, what currently bothers me about the very popular Mako 2 is its shiny, sun-kissed jewel side, with its polished surfaces ..... that's not what I ask of it. Originally, this watch was supposed to accompany me on mountain bikes & other cycling practices.…

Here is one of my divers that I love, it's my 4th, the story of this watch is funny, it's the 4th that I own in fact I always sold the other 3 and I always regretted it, and I took this one back a mako 1 and I fell in love with this second crown at 2 p.m., its slate black dial, it follows me everywhere now and I don't plan on parting with it!

When you want an automatic watch for less than 200 bucks, with which you can go spearfishing, prepare a beurre blanc, and roll around on the ground drinking Guinness with your buddies, without worrying about your watch: then take this Orient Mako III... It rocks without fear of the consequences!! With as a bonus the most anti-stress bezel "click" I've ever had on a diving watch, and a pretty cool color variation! A watch that you buy like a tool and that you learn to love like a watch that completes your collection…
