ORIENT Mako 3 divers sports watch
Quality that far outweighs it's price with this excellent divers watch from Orient, with ceramic bezel, 200m water resistance, tough rubber strap and Japanese automatic movement.
I've overlooked Orient for a long time, and sadly most of the watch buying public have too and that's a shame, because this 90 year old company, although now a division of Seiko Epson - technically a separate company to Seiko itself - are still producing watches, the quality of which for the price point is bordering on ridiculous. Most collectors consider the quality to be a step above Seiko watches at similar prices and I can now understand why.
Design and Aesthetics
The Orient Kanno Mako 3, better known just as Mako 3, is a superbly built watch from the Japanese brand who, unlike their larger parent company, only make a handful of designs which remarkably use their own in-house calibre movements.
The result is a modern divers watch with a high quality feel that defies it's price. The soft-touch padded box with riveted, brushed steel insert offers a glimpse of the quality on offer.
But rather than me waffling on, watch the video review from Teddy Baldassarre, one of the best known watch experts in the USA who has reviewed thousands of watches and usually deals in timepieces worth thousands of pounds - so if anybody knows about watches, he does.

Official Orient Reviews
AmazingWas gifted this watch for my birthday. & i’ve got to say the pictures do not do this justice. truly incredible in person. it features one of the best handsets on any diver i’ve ever seen. the 44mm size might seem big for most but it honestly wears a lot smaller. would definitely recommend
AS THEY SAY...ORIENT HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK WITH THIS WATCHOrient now has a classic diver watch which fits undeniably in the category of World's Most Classic Mechanical Divers. congrats!
The large but perfect size and archetypal pure design of this piece may be obvious in pictures, but in person it is stunning. there's not much that could have made this piece better
Ultimate Summer WatchI bought this watch specifically for my summer plans, and so far it hasn't failed me. For a summer that's so far filled with jet skiing and snorkelling, I'm glad this watch came with a rubber strap so its easy to clean. Set it, forget it, and it won't miss a lick.
