Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This limited-edition professional diver watch is an exclusive model for Amazon. This model commemorates our Brand's USA launch as well as our new direct relationship and we found it appropriate to use an Amazon yellow for our dial color choice. This series of diver watches has been an international success and we are proud to extend this limited opportunity to USA Orient Watch Enthusiasts.

Orient is an international watch company, with representation in over 70 countries. Since their inception in 1950, Orient has focused their attention to mechanical self-winding watches. This technology simply means that the energy of the movement of the watch is used to power a micro-mechanical timing device. This "green" technology, although may sound futuristic, was designed over a hundred years ago.

This collection is no different and is completely mechanical. The dial for this watch comes with both day and date indicators located at the 3 o'clock position. The day indicator is adjusted by unscrewing the push-button, located on the 2 o'clock position, and pushing the button for the specific day. The date indicator is adjusted by the crown (time-setting piece) located on the 3 o'clock position.

This watch has a two-level crown which adjusts both the time and the date. The 1st level corresponds to the time while the 2nd level corresponds to the date. To adjust either level, you must first loosen the screw-down crown. The purpose of a screw-down crown is so that water does not enter the case. Not only does the crown have shoulders for added protection, but it also has the official orient logo engraved on the crown.

Another attribute that adds to the value of this watch is its unidirectional bezel. The purpose of this feature is so that you can adjust the time bezel to the minute hand to see how many minutes have gone by. The time hands, as well as the hour indicators, are both luminescent. This allows for the owner to view the time during the evening.

The band for this series comes in either stainless steel metal or black urethane. In the metal band variation, the links come in matte finish. You will notice the fold-over-push-button-clasp-with-safety and how it gives added protection so that the watch does not come off inadvertently. Unlike the metal band, the urethane variation comes in a buckle clasp.

Since this collection is so popular, Orient offers a total of 8 variations to this watch: 4 with metal bands and 4 with urethane bands. Within the metal bands, there are different dial and bezel colors: black dial on black bezel, blue dial on blue bezel, blue dial on blue/orange bezel, and orange dial on black bezel. Likewise, the urethane band variation has different dial and bezel colors: black dial on black bezel, blue dial on blue/orange bezel, blue dial on blue bezel, and orange dial on black bezel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Mako, February 21, 2009

By	Bam (Singapore) - See all my reviews

the Orient "Mako" is a very popular watch, good value, good build, good movement. The blue "Mako" has achieved cult status among Orient fans. This yellow 1, imho, will join it. I'd always wanted a yellow dial diver but did not want to pay >1k for the other yellow divers. At this price and this being an exlusive to amazon, makes it a worthwhile piece to have and collect.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first automatic and I love it!, July 2, 2009

By	GunsNGlory (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

I tend to do a lot of research on a product before I commit to purchasing it. I have always wanted one of the higher end watches (for me Omega, Oris and Ball applies) and I couldn't see spending so much money at this time on a watch. I've had a Luminox which is a great watch, but I wanted something a little more dressy, a little classy and a little different for my job. I read about the Invicta watches and I was back and forth with the pros and cons. I read a review mentioning Orient so I thought I'd check them out.
There are not so many reviews for Orient, but from what I've learned they haven't been sold in the U.S. for as long as other brands. The movement of their watches is made in-house.
Once I saw this yellow one is an Amazon exclusive, I was sold. This is my first automatic so I'm no expert nor do I know all the technical watch jargon. I'm just a guy who wants to wear a nice looking watch. Every few days I check the time against my Casio atomic watch and find the Orient is off usually 30 seconds to a minute which is just fine for me. I wear it all the time except when I'm getting ready for work. I've received a few compliments at work from co-workers who like it as well.
There are a couple things that could be better that I've found. The illumination of the markers doesn't last long at all and depending on the lighting, the hands can be a little difficult to see against the yellow face. Overall the watch is beautiful and I feel it is well made. The band is brushed on the front and on the sides it is polished. The watch has a great overall weight too. The watchband tool that came with is worked flawlessly. I took one link out from each side and it fits perfectly.
I'm now trying to figure out which Orient I want next. I think I'll get my brother one who'll be getting married in a couple weeks.
Try one out. I believe you'll like it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Yellow Mako Five Stars, July 11, 2009

By	Lee M. Reeves (Goodyear, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I researched watches for two years, and decided to order the Yellow Mako as a gift for myself on Father's Day. When I received the watch, it was defective and didn't work. I sent it back to Amazon, and they refunded my money. I debated whether to buy another Yellow Mako or choose another watch. The reviews for this watch were so high, I decided to take another chance. This time, the watched worked wonderfully and I am very happy with it.
