I have no idea where you see the rolex homage thing. The case shape is no way near to a submariner. The crown is different. It features a day date rather than a date complication. The hands and indices are different. IMHO its pretty stupid to say its a submariner homage because it has a 3o clock day date?

Sorry a correction I spoke too soon: 42 mm automatic in my opinion is too big, heavy and clumsy for everyday use. I think a Heuer 150.501 would be perfect for someone that wanted a throw away replica.

Ofcourse. Watches are tools, even when used just for a desk diving they get scratched. Plus, service costs are also different and funny enough service for high end watches is often necessary. With few exception spending on a watch over 1000 $ isn't that smart. Unless one has really big bank account.

I have had the red Kamasu for several months now. I fell in love with the beautiful, rich dial color and as you noted, the specs are amazing, especially at the price. I totally agree about the clasp, but haven't found it interferes with my enjoyment or the large amount of wrist time this watch gets. Between this and my blue Ray II, I think Orient really has the low price end of the diver market well covered.

I love this piece with the green dial and a strap code bracelet. Definitely my new favorite diver. Oh, also I would argue that the date window does go with the rest of the dial quite nicely. It's got the metal frame to match the indices and the white background too. If you look at it and squint it looks just like the other hour markers, just a little bigger.

Hey T3, we've had a Seiko company product or two in our house with a similar jiggly clasp. We've been replacing just the clasp, not the whole bracelet. We usually put one with a ratcheting extension so it's more comfortable in the heat and humidity. Just a thought for someone that might like the bracelet but not the clasp.

I have a Ray II blue dial. It is a very similar model. After seeing this review I have checked the dial with a magnifying lens and...it is alright! No visible defects! When I was a teenager, my uncle gave an Orient to each nephew. It resisted everything for many years. Never heard about Orient since then. Thought the brand was over. Recently I discovered that Orient was still in business and the Ray II model reminded me of my old Orient...but in blue. I am looking at it right now! Great watch. I recommend it.

My only other comment is I suspect the power reserve isn't quite hitting the advertised number, but nothing terrible.

This watch is a beast. It’s the ultimate tool watch. The lume also lasts all night, I never have an issue reading the time during the night. It also offers something the Submariner does not - a day complication. I bought a Strapcode Oyster-style bracelet which is perfect for it. 12+ seconds a day, but it’s not an issue as I use it for weekends and holidays. My Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT is my “business/work watch”.

I'm still a big proponent of the Orient Raven Ray II, a little smaller (40mm) and mineral crystal but, apart from that, same specs and PVD! Mine has hold up very nice going on for two years, and swimming in two oceans, already. Incredible for the price bracket and massively underappreciated. I have my eyes on the blue-bezel Kanno or the Bronze diver next.

The orient DOES use lumabright. The difference in brightness comes from the thickness and wideness of its application. In terms of longevity: others tested this already and came to the conclusion that they are the same even though surprisingly kamasus hands do tend to shine a bit longer than other Seiko's or even their own indices.

For those of us to whom $300 is a sum that isn't spent lightly, Orient is a powerhouse brand! Almost ALL of their models are a tremendous value, in my opinion. All things considered, (specs, design, brand legitimacy, overall quality...) one might say there are other "entry level" divers that are in the same league with the Kamasu, but I can't think of any that are clearly superior. And that red dial model? FIRE BABY!

I own several Orients, including a red Kamasu. Following this review I checked my dial for similar flaws that you found and fortunately for me I couldn't see any, so now I'm ultra pleased. My intention when I purchased it was to wear it as a daily banger, the price was right. I also own a Hamilton Khaki Scuba, and of course had to draw comparison. The Hamilton is a sub $1k piece and I have to say the Orient compares favorably. There are clear differences in the elevated finishing of the Hamilton and the movement is nicer. That said, It's pretty much three times the price. I'm glad to own both, but, honestly, if I had purchased the Orient first I may not have purchased THAT Hamilton, the Orient is that nice!

I have the red dial and the green dial. By far my favorite watches in my collection hands down.

Absolutely a contender. My blue dial Kamasu is one of my favorites.

While a color matched date wheel is smaller, I do enjoy the legibility of having it white.

Very good run-down. I have the RA-AA0810N19B Kamasu with mostly circular applied indices, and a subtle black sunburst. I feel lucky to not have those dust spots which would annoy the hell out of me. Also my signed crown is perfectly aligned when screwed down, but if it wasn't I'd be more annoyed at the dust.

I rock my black dial Kamasu on a Strapcode super j. Louis bracelet! 😎👌 It's a gorgeous, rugged little daily driver!

I bought a Kamasu for myself for Christmas and I've been wearing it since the day I got it out of the mailbox, on 12/6/22. I didn't care for the bracelet that it came on because it isn't tapered. So, I bought one that is tapered. My wrist is 6.75" and this watch fits me quite well. The thing that is most interesting, to me, is the timekeeping accuracy. I check my watch every morning against WWV. When I first put this watch on it was losing 5 seconds per day. After a week or so of 24-hour/day wearing, it was losing 3 seconds per day. I started taking it off and laying it down, face up, overnight and it was gaining back 2 seconds while I slept. In the last few days, it has stopped losing time during the time that I'm wearing it so I've stopped laying it down overnight. Now, I'm back to wearing it 24 hours per day and it hasn't lost or gained any time over the last three days. I know that isn't a really long time for proper observation. But, it is what I have to offer. All in all, I'm quite surprised by the watch and I'm very happy with it. I paid $197 USD, new, from a seller on Amazon.

Love my red Kamasu. It‘s dial is spectacular. Two things could be betterr though: accuracy and the crown. Mine runs at about +15 per day. Not bad, but not very good either. The crown is small and the crown guards are large, so the crown is hard to operate. Other than that the Kamasu is just beautiful and comfortable. Also looks good on small wrists like mine (6 1/4 inches).

I’ve got the Ray ii. I much prefer the hands and indices of the Ray over the Kamasu. I just wish the Ray had sapphire as I’ve got a scratch on mine. I don’t wear it much but proud to have it in the collection as my first automatic watch.

I got the green kamasu a few months back and I got to say nothing comes near it for the money, i already had the orient ray but i bought the kamasu with it having the sapphire. The green dial is very subtle appearing black until you get the sun on it then it shows a beautiful teal shade.

Orient build great watches, and their dive watches are seriously good. So good I just ordered a new Triton ( Green) after looking at a lot of contenders 👍

I bought my Kamasu for around $150 almost a year ago. I JUST bought a Heimdallr Monster for essentially the same price as my "beater" red dive because the Kamasu is just a more elegant office wearing watch that I want to keep nice. The red Kamasu is literally the best looking red dive watch for less than $500 (and I'd have to wear it if I was looking at the new Oris just to see if the Oris was worth it).

I have the green one. I wanted a 20mm bracelet so I took the (hollow) endlinks from the stock SKX007 and paired it with the Uncle Seiko 20mm jubilee bracelet for the Sarb 33/35. This works very well. Yes it will set you back some bucks but it's worth it. And thank me later.

Amazing watch. My only beef is the day/date complication. They should have went with a dial color matching one.

Cant decide between the blue and black dial. Also, slightly worried about possible future maintenance work as spare parts are apparently hard to get hold of in the UK. What a great looking watch though and a ridiculously low price. It’s between this and the casioak at the moment for my next everyday watch

A red one has been my daily driver since mid-2020. My wrist is about the same size maybe 7.25" and it wears extremely well. I put it on a rubber strap and that is a good pairing for a working watch (I'm on a construction site). I'd be good with just this and my Seiko Cocktail Time for when I have to dress up.

I just received my kamasu Friday. Black, silicone band. I set it to NISC time gained 75 secs in 48 hours. Lovely watch comfortable to wear. On the back along with the other expected info it was stamped EPSON. I'm not sure I see another Orient in my future. Btw, the black finish Orient should include a polishing cloth. But with this spec sheet whadya want for 2bills?

Okay, point of information: it's the Kamasu in the USA; if you are shopping elsewhere, like on JS or Creation Watches, look for the Mako III. To this end, it would be helpful to have the reference in the info bar. Great video again, Jory.
