Today we unboxing a very special Orient Mako. Made to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Mako, which is one of the most popular entry level divers, and one that was the first serious watch for many, it is a Mako that we know and love, but elevated on a new level looks wise thanks to some unique details. The wave pattern on the dial, the gold colored hands and logo and a black and blue bezel insert as well as Anniversary Edition placed neatly in an almost hidden way on the dial make for one of a kind Mako. Limited to 3000 pieces with each one being numbered, it is a gerat addition to a collection, especially if you are a Mako fan.
The watch is powered by Orient in-house made caliber F6922 that beats at 21.600 bph and comes with both hacking and hand winding, while at the same time losing the additional button for the day of the week setting, that the first generation had, and moving the said function to the crown, in my opinion a better and more elegant solution.
the crystal is sapphire, while the bracelet is left unchacnged with solid links but also hollow end links and stamped out clasp. That is the one area where Orient should step up their game as microbrands offer better specs at half the price. Of course Orient as a brand has more history and that brings some value to the table, but it was also always "bang for buck" watch, so it would be great to see them match microbrands in specs at least. None the less, the watch is gorgeous and just like any Mako, while still being original in design, manages to capture the 5 digit Rolex wearing feel due to its great proportions and size.
As usual, stay tuned for the full review

Your video convinced me to buy. Beautiful watch , instantly fell in love with it

[@S-Ltd1000]

Mako twin crown was my first auto. Some solid offerings from the brand. My current Orients are the Triton lite and the Orient diver nobody talks about, the ISO certified M-force.

[@awesomenessinstead]

Beautiful watch, thanks for the video!

[@Walnutman5700]

Great review! I like Orient and Orient Star watches. I wish there was more details on their movements. Keep up the great work!

[@ErvLekauf]

Beautiful watch and wonderful logo ❤

[@macguyverson9370]

Looks nice!

[@brianmsahin]

I really like the Orient brand. As well as a JDM Panda Chronograph and a Tristar Dress watch (now discontinued and selling for 7 times the price even if you can find one!). I have one diver but it is the original of the species, the orange bezel Mako XL, a 44.5mm diver that wears very well for its size. I've had mine since 2011 and it's a super watch except for the lume. It's quite long lasting which surprises me as it's very dull from the outset and you'd expect it to disappear in a minute!

[@plantemichel]

Nice review and nice watch but for me it’s missing minutes markers.😮

[@lk754]

Such a well designed piece from a reputable japanese brand, rough and reliable.

[@vavilov777]

Oh and I have these 2008/3000

[@user-ou8pv3qq2l]

nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much

[@jcshannon7388]

Great review, the only thing stopping me from buying it is the bezel. I guess Orient still haven't heard about ceramic yet. Odd.

[@ACasualCustomer]

Cost 💲

[@balazshajdu3018]

If they use ceramic it would cost more so then it would be you problem.

[@ericwilleke6613]

Nice.

[@childrolland]

The dial color and waves are stunning , but these silver frames on the markers and the day-date window mismatch quite a lot the golden hands and Orient logo.

[@MiguelBricaBrac]

I just got hit with the watch addiction in the past 2 years and when I saw a Mako I thought it reminded me of Longines hydroconquest.

[@B_L]

Should i buy this or the Kamasu?

[@spilart]

this

[@senotriusneo6354]

Isn't time in 2024 to also finally upgrade the movement to 28000bph and maybe a longer reserve.

[@chickencutlet856]

The red dial looks better

[@jayeyesacks1604]

The bracelets on these Orient models should be made in a limited edition of 0. Celebrating twenty years of no solid end links and a pressed clasp??? Guess we'll have to wait until the 50th anniversary.

[@abgiman6311]

still prefer mako 40 tho

[@peterlandbo2726]

Nice watch - horrible logo

[@gravynog]

Here we go 😄

[@user-oj1kk2wf1e]
