Orient Men's 42mm Steel Bracelet & Case Sapphire Crystal Automatic Black Dial Analog Watch RA-AA0001B19B, Black, Bracelet

I've owned several Orient watches, this one continues their tradition of excellence. Well made, good lume, nice finishing. The rotor is a little loud, and the bezel isn't particularly 'clicky', but it does have a nice feel to its rotation. This watch stacks up nicely against Seiko/Citizen pieces 2-4 time the cost, as well as entry level Swiss such as lower tier Tissot/Hamilton/Victorinox (as long as you don't care about the swiss origin). Finishing on the entry level Swiss watches will generally be nicer, and somewhat thinner, but it depends on the model. Very pleased with it. **Oooh edit** very important- my review is for the watch itself. The bracelet is acceptable at best. Hollow end links. Kinda loud. Finished ok, but not great. I wear mine on a NATO or silicon tropic style strap and love it.

I got it for around 2700sek (~€260) and love it. Good price and quality, it's a little quick doing about +5-10 seconds every day which racks up pretty quickly. I used a third-party band for a while before going back to the included one. The included band feels pretty okay-ish, doesn't feel that special but that is to be expected for the price. Other than that, I would say this is a great watch for under €300 and would recommend anyone getting it! Don't forget to look at a couple of YouTube videos to make sure you like the dial :D

Versátil, elegante y de muy buena calidad

As I had recently sold a budget automatic diver, I wanted to 'invest' in a new one. And, after some research, I came across Orient's line of divers - namely the Mako/Ray II models, as well as the Kamasu that I eventually ended up deciding to buy. So let me begin by explaining why I picked the Kamasu. To be completely honest, I was much more drawn to the design of the Mako II. But the simple fact that the Kamasu provides a sapphire crystal for roughly the same price (sometimes even less), it was a no-brainer. Initially, the things that worried me were the 'yellowed' indices/hands in the photos, but in reality, especially on the black model that I have, they actually look very tasteful. Additionally, the size of the watch is truly amazing - anyone with smaller to average wrists will love it. The weight is also well-balanced - not too heavy for activities, but heavy enough to feel like the premium product that it is. Now I'll get onto the main pros/cons of the watch, starting with the cons: 1. Loud rotor: whilst this is common in Orient watches and doesn't get in the way at all 99% of the time, it is important to understand that this will be present. 2. Firm bezel: this is my first more 'premium' diver, and perhaps dive bezels are supposed to be rather firm. It is very high quality, but at first was a bit stiff to my liking. 3. Bracelet: out of the box, it was not only very squeaky and relatively annoying to adjust with its push-pins, it's quality is also undermined by the lack of solid end-links. However, when I eventually managed to adjust it to my liking and clean with soap (to remove squeakiness), its been holding up very well and just as the watch itself has really grown on me. Now onto the pros: 1. Unique, legible design: whilst this was initially one of my main concerns, I love the watch more every time I put it on. Every colour looks absolutely stunning, and it is finished very well. 2. Movement: the prestige of an in-house movement with reasonable accuracy and frequency is an absolute pleasure to bear on one's wrist. 3. Loom: although never a priority for me, it is cool to see just how powerful it is in practice. 4. Crown: although it was one of my primary concerns when i was buying the watch, it is solid and easy to use. It doesn't look or feel too small for me in reality, and the stock photos don't really do it justice. So, for the price of 200€ that I paid for this watch, you may as well pull the trigger. It won't lose its value unless damaged, and is an absolutely stunning piece to at least try out.
