Orient Men’s ‘Ray II Rubber’ Japanese Automatic Stainless
Product Overview
The Orient Men’s ‘Ray II Rubber’ Japanese Automatic Stainless Steel Diving Watch (Model: FAA02007B9) represents a thoughtful evolution of a trusted diver’s design, blending functional engineering with enduring style. At its core lies the in-house Orient caliber F6922 automatic movement—a self-winding mechanical engine that captures the natural motion of your wrist to maintain accurate timekeeping without batteries. This movement, fully developed and manufactured by Orient, reflects decades of Japanese watchmaking expertise and delivers consistent performance for daily wear and underwater use alike.
The watch features a silver-toned stainless steel case that balances durability with a refined appearance. Its corrosion-resistant properties make it well-suited for exposure to saltwater, while the polished finish ensures it remains visually appealing over time. Designed specifically with diving in mind, the Ray II Rubber includes a unidirectional 120-click bezel—a critical safety feature that allows divers to track elapsed time during immersion. The bezel rotates with precise tactile feedback, offering 120 distinct clicks per full rotation, and can only turn counterclockwise to prevent accidental overestimation of remaining air supply or dive duration.
Complementing its robust construction is a high-quality rubber strap engineered for comfort and resilience. The strap resists degradation from saltwater, chlorine, sweat, and prolonged sun exposure, making it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, or any active outdoor lifestyle. Its secure fit ensures the watch stays in place during movement, while the lightweight design enhances all-day wearability.
With a case dimension of 4.72 inches and a total weight of just 3.49 ounces, the Ray II Rubber offers a substantial yet balanced presence on the wrist—large enough to read easily underwater or in low light, but not overly bulky for everyday use. Its clean, sporty dial layout features luminous hands and hour markers for enhanced visibility in dark conditions, a practical detail for divers and nighttime wearers.
This model continues Orient’s legacy of producing reliable, accessible automatic watches with heritage-inspired designs. As a non-discontinued item first introduced in April 2016, it remains a current offering from the brand and has maintained steady popularity, reflected in its Best Sellers Rank of #6,974 in Men’s Wrist Watches. Whether you’re a recreational diver, a mechanical watch enthusiast, or someone seeking a dependable timepiece with classic styling, the Ray II Rubber delivers strong performance and lasting value.
