The Orient RA-AA0810N19B (sometimes dubbed the Orient Kamasu II) is a new dive watch that rivals those around the $200 price point such as the Orient Kamasu, and previously the Seiko SKX prior to being discontinued.

#OrientWatches #OrientKamasuII #OrientRA-AA0810N19BReview
Featuring 200m WR, a sapphire crystal, and an in-house movement with hacking and hand winding, the Orient RA-AA0810N19B is quite an excellent value and a worthy consideration if you enjoy the gradient dial style it offers.

I just picked up the teal/green version and my god it's just fantastic. Love how dynamic the dial can be depending on angles and lighting. Sometimes it looks black and the next second it's a vibrant turquoise. In addition I prefer the nearly entirely brushed finished on the case as it gives it more of a tool feel. I think Orient really knocked it out of the park with this one.

It's worth mentioning that the new Kamasu has brushed sides of the case and nice polished lines between brushing. The old Kamasu, on the other hand, has just all polished sides. Orient will soon release a new color variant - dark red (such as in a limited version but with a steel case) and blue / gold (another limited edition).

Ordered this very same Kamasu, can't wait for its arrival. I think that the design is perfect; it has Orient's originality (hands, bezel), origins (gradient dial that reminds of older, 80s Orients) and respect for the historical diver aesthetics (circles and batons). Specifications are great and price is excellent.

@@dimper4562 Imo this watch is a little overdramatic for a main watch. Get the Original Kamasu, it's more timeless and appropriate in every situation, and as a first/main watch at 18, you will want something that can serve you well through a variety of situations: from pool parties to job interviews, and the original Kamasu (especially in black) can easily do both.

Why can't they put antireflective coating on the sapphire crystal? As you can see from your video, there is constantly glare. I assume it is a corner to cut that increases their profit margin, but no manufacturer should use sapphire without antireflective coating.
@ChronometerCheck
@ChronometerCheck 2 жыл бұрын
I do agree, and frankly, AR coating is one of the things that can take a watch from "good" to "great". In retrospect, some of my favorite watches either had some sort of AR treatment, or were generally a bit less prone to glare being an issue (think lighter dial watches as opposed to black). I couldn't imagine it would hike manufacturing costs too much, but then again, I'm no manufacturer.

I have 5 Orient watches(Mako2, Ray2, Kamasu red, Kamasu green, Kamasu 2021) now. They are all great watches, but if you shake them left and right softly for more than 10 seconds, they all speed up for 4 ~ 5 seconds immediately. Also, they all speed up approximately 10 ~15 seconds after walking for 3 ~ 5km or exercise in gym) Since all of my 5 Orient watches and SKX007 are same, I think it's normal for them. Anybody has comment for this here?
