Unboxing 2 NEW Orient Makos 3s! (For real this time) 

Orient needs to pump out a GMT like yesterday. C'mon!

I like the chrono, but wow, that burnt-orange Mako looked really nice!

Glad to see more solar powered watches from brands. Perfect blend of being reliable with longevity.

Thanks Dave, your videos are straight fire! 🔥

That close up of the orange Mako sold me. It's a great looking Orient.

Mako 2 (black dial) is my first mechanical watch. At first considered Seiko 5KX's, but needless to say, I have no regret whatsoever to finally landed my choice to bought it and wear it daily as my beater. Had no worries acquiring scratch here and there on the watch considering the price, yet knowing its build quality provided assured me that the little guy can go everywhere, anytime. And those 'tear' only give certain characters uniquely mine, added with its distinctive 6912 arabic. "This is my MAKO 2 !", I proudly showed to people when wearing it. Such a strap monster, from rubber to leather, handsome on nylon/nato(s), in any colors! Very proud that Orient continue this lineup by releasing Mako 3, hoping that this variant heritage as affordable (for the commoners)-high spec (desk)diver watch will continuously grow strong as years gone by. I'm looking forward to see your full in depth review for this new little guy!

I like the railroad second markers on the dive watch. And the chrono does seem like an interesting counter to the Seiko Speedtimer, particularly on price. But those bracelets probably won't win too many fans. All in all, good to see Orient progressing over time....

Very nice watches. Love that burnt orange dial! I'm actually wearing my venerable orange bezel Mako XL as I watch this. 12 years old and absolutely perfect. Still one of my favourite watches.

The new Makos look amazing. I really like the dial on the diver, and having a sapphire crystal makes it a very compelling alternative to the Kamasu.

What a cool couple of watches. I love my Red Kamasu. I wish I had another wrist and room in my collection.

Absolutely love that Mako in Orange, shame they are so hard to get in the UK.

Most excellent, doood! The 24h hour register will help all of us who dwell in total darkness! If they can get their chrono all charged up that is 🤔.

I’m really happy to see a solar added to the mako line I’ve got my Orient Neo solar and I think it’s fantastic

I have a crush on that orange dial Mako! Thanks for posting.

The orange dial looks really cool.

Both great looking watches and nice to see a solar dive chronograph !

I have always liked the Mako. I have a Mako gen 1. I am glad they added sapphire crystals. I will have to see what other dial colors they have. I might have to get one. I am going to have to look at the chronograph also.

Have a Ray 2, but I've weary of going with another Orient due to the crown. I wish they'd change it up, make it a lil bigger or get rid of the crown guard all together.

The diver has a stunning colour ! I need one.

Love the mako3 orange dial!

Very cool to see the new releases on the Mako family; the four new Mako III, two JDM uniques and the chronographs (into which i would like to see a GMT bezel instead - but i won't be picky). A lot of attention and a lot of colours. I hope the traditional Ray family get some upgrades like sapphire as well, and i would definitely like to see a Kamasu GMT to complete generations I and II. Orient is doing great things in the $160 to $300 range.

They are both good looking watches and nice to see a solar dive chronograph !

the orange one looks sharp and vibrant !!!

that jdm release is banging!

Loving the new divers. Hoping to buy one as soon as it's available here. I can't make up my mind between the silver beige RA-AA0821S or the light blue RA-AA0818L.

The big improvement of this model is the crown. It's a lot more grippy than the Kamasu. It also does accept Kamasu strapcode bracelets.

The Burnt orange is amazing I want one!

Orange is beast 🎉🎉🎉

WOW! When should we expect them to be available in the US!!! Great Review!

Just WOW! Good job Orient!

Orient is kicking ass and taking names when it comes to absolutely kick a$$ value!

The date on that Mako looks really 🔥🌙

The bezel is aligned on the chrono, you just didnt quite put it back in the correct place :) Check the shot before you turned it the first time

Comparing to Kamasu, what I like is new Mako has nice unique colour on dial and bezel. However I still prefer the hands of Kamasu because it is easier to read at one glance, even so inside a dark room from the lumed hands. One can easily tell which is hour hand and minute hand. More so the long sharp minute and second hand reaching the minute markers.

I'd like to see the chrono's crown style on the new Mako/Kamasu.

I wish they would offer a version with a brushed/satin/beadblasted finish, similar to whatever finish the Citizen NY0040 has.

Very nice, thanks for the review. Curious if the kamasu bracelet fits the Chrono. Need a jubilee on that one..

The chrono seems to be a very interesting release.

Wow that orange is great

That orange one 👌

The Ray and Mako are not actually dive watches (according to Orient) but dive style sports watches. They fall short everywhere when you look at the ISO standard, from the thin springbars to the water resistance. They still look good though but I gave mine away because of the tiny crown and difficult to grip bezel when it was wet.

Thanks Dave. Do you know what the full range of colourways will be for both the Divers and the Chronos? I am more interested in the Chronos - I am still thinking about going for the Red Kamasu.

Glad to see that the new Chrono has a brushed bezel edge. I wish they would tone down the mirror polishing on the Kamasu, or perhaps offer a fully brushed/satin/beadblasted version, because IMO when the regular bezel (like on the orange one) reflects direct light it kinda looks like it has diamonds set in it - am not really stoked about that. I love the watch and own the green one, but don't wear it often because it's like having a disco ball on the wrist with all the mirror polishing.

i like the second one wauw thats lovely

that orange diver is beautiful

Orange dial looks nice, hopefully the rest of the world will get similar. The solar chrono is a decent Seiko alternative but unusual to see a misaligned bezel. I still think the Triton mini is the pick of the range should you have at least a 7 inch wrist. Also, am I the only one that doesn't think the bracelets are that bad?

I would love to see from all the videos on watches with day/date to see at what time date change and how it changes as well. thanks!

You've got to feed the cat. LOL

That chrono feels like what the Seitona should've been in terms of pricing. I am a little perplex though about having a dive-style bezel on a chronograph, if you want to time things why would you use the bezel over the chrono ? But I guess it allowed them to reuse the parts from their mako lineup and just jam that solar chrono movement in there, keeping it cost efficient. The panda one looks great and if it werent for that useless bezel and 24 hours subdial I would probably buy one. Thanks Dave for yet another great video !

Excellent video

Nice! Is the mako 3 bracelet stainless steel ?

I really like that orange one, so I've been looking for that orange and can't find it anywhere. Any recommendations on where to get it? Or do we just need to wait for them to get to the public.

One thing that I noticed that you did not touch on is that the the seconds hand in the new Mako 3 is noticeably shorter than the one on the original Kamasu. That may seem a but nit picky, but I prefer the seconds hand on the original Kamasu.

Both look good, I'd rather the auto, chrono's aren't working for me right now....the orange is fantastic....I'm not usually one for being negative but must say I'm disappointed at the excessive size of the box, bit of waste....looking forward to the review of these....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

Could you put a link in the description as to where to buy the orange Mako III?

Dave, Have you done a review on the Casio Oceanus?

Lots of Makos recently :D

Great review! I am looking for a diver watch but confuse between RA-AA0819N19B and RA-AA0810N19B can you do a comparison between two. Thanks

The Orient divers are ISO standards unless it says Diver's 200m on the dial. These are more of a recreational dive style watch but has the 200m capability. The only ISO dive watches Orient has in their lineup are the M-force and the SKX style 43.5mm RA-EL0001B. Picked up the Mako 3 with the white dial and olive/gold bezel, really a stunner for the price.

wow.......... amazing!!!!!

Nothing beats the red Kamasu

It always weirds me out when 200m chronographs don’t have screw down pushers. Can somebody reassure me? Cuz I kinda want one.

Great first look. You got me excite for the orange. But I can’t find it anywhere. I wish you would of put the model number in the video.

Can you manually set the position of the seconds hand like on the Seiko solars?

I have the green kamasu, and now I need the orange Mako.

Would pay a bit more for a ceramic bezel though, since when the aluminium ones scratch it is really visible

What a wanderfull watch

Orange is awesome

What's with 24hr complications on chronographs are they any use at all? But the Mako colours are really out there!

Feels more like a kamasu 2 just based off of the case & crystal. The railroad track seconds, fume orange & Arabics make for a great combo though. Odd that its JDM only

What's the REF of the Kamasu that was used for comparison?

Same crown size though 🗿

Dig the orange on the diver. Hopefully that color scheme makes it out of Japan.

I don't own an Orient but the green Kamasu is the one I've had my eye on for a while. With 2 babies and 1 income, it's heard to justify a luxury purchase. Will the release of the Mako III drive the Mako II price down? This broke dad might settle for a Mako II if it the price is right. It will replace my casio duro and invicta pro driver.

So the first one looks like a rebadged Seiko solar chrono with non screw down pushers something like an SSC019.

Cool watches...is JDM only?

11:58 You need to hold the case at 90 degrees perpendicular to the caliper arms when measuring lug to lug. I question your measurement of 45.6mm.

Is it asking too much to provide a milled scissor clasp? The pressed clasp just makes my current Mako 2 look and feel cheap.

Any idea when these are slated to hit the US?

Orient is KILLING it!!! Now I have two new watches to go buy…. Ughhh. Seriously, these Orient dive watch lines are smoking Seiko.

I have seen the RN-AA0816L, the blue version of the new MAKO III on the ORIENT online japanese store. But, I am unable to select another country than Japan for the shipping... I am in France I can't have this beautiful little thing... Too bad... Even on e-bay you can't find it... T_T

Still got my Ray 2. The bracelet finally left this earth so put a Zulu on it. Still looks great. Have s Padi Turtle...nothing but problems. Will keep for memories but Orient knocka it out the park.

That chrono should fit really well with the female end links. I prefer female ends.

Weird that the old one, you are using for comparison, looks a lot better than the new ones.

I wish the Hands would be longer like of the Kamasu.

I don't have an orange dial watch. Thinking this will be my first

Let’s make the crown even smaller! I sold my Kamasu on that point alone: that tiny crown is a painful nightmare to operate.

a 20mm bracelet would of been an improvement. That's the one thing I don't like about both of my Kamasu's and this seems to be basically the same watch.

Is the crown larger than Ray and Kamasu? It looks like it is.

Anyone else getting an omega planet ocean vibe from the orange watch's case design and colour too?

How did you get them shipped? I can’t seem to find an option that will ship to Canaca. 😩 16:24

Interesting. The boxes are different from the boxes in europe.

What's the difference between RA Nd RN series they both looks identical

I want that orange mako but I can’t find it anywhere

Does anyone know how to find the orange diver. I've looked at all the jdm sites that google has and couldn't find it. I love that watch, it's a must have.

All my watches with aluminum bezel inserts end up getting scratched almost immediately. I look for ceramic or sapphire bezel inserts, or a watch that I can find a replacement insert.

Saphire crown @12:17 :D

Great vid as usual. Gotta say though, I really miss your intro music.

The movement has so much resemblance with the Seiko one. Curious

Would be cheaper to buy at Yodobashi or Bicamera?
