Orient Men’s ‘Mako II’ Japanese Automatic / Hand-Winding

Product Overview

The Orient Men’s ‘Mako II’ is a Japanese automatic diving watch built for men who appreciate precision engineering, rugged durability, and classic design. Crafted with a stainless steel case and rated for water resistance up to 200 meters, this timepiece is designed to perform in demanding environments while maintaining everyday versatility. Whether you’re exploring coral reefs, swimming in open water, or navigating city streets, the Mako II offers reliable functionality and enduring style. Powered by a Japanese automatic movement, it operates through both self-winding—driven by the natural motion of your wrist—and manual hand-winding, ensuring consistent timekeeping without reliance on batteries. This mechanical approach appeals to enthusiasts who value traditional watchmaking and the tactile satisfaction of a self-powered instrument. With its heritage of craftsmanship dating back to 1950, Orient delivers a dive watch that balances professional capability with timeless appeal, making it a solid choice for both recreational divers and watch collectors.

Key Features

• Japanese Automatic Movement – The heart of the Mako II is its self-winding mechanical caliber, which harnesses energy from your daily movements to keep accurate time. For added control, it also supports manual hand-winding, allowing you to start or maintain power reserve when the watch hasn’t been worn. This eliminates the need for battery changes and ensures long-term reliability for users who prefer mechanical timepieces.
• 200-Meter Water Resistance – Engineered to meet the demands of serious water exposure, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational scuba diving. The screw-down crown plays a crucial role in maintaining this level of protection by sealing the case against water and pressure, ensuring internal components remain dry even at depth.
• Stainless Steel Construction – Both the case and bracelet are made from high-quality stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion, scratches, and daily wear. This robust build ensures the watch holds up in marine environments and urban settings alike, offering long-term durability without compromising on style.
• Unidirectional Rotating Bezel – A vital feature for divers, the bezel allows you to track elapsed time underwater—critical for managing air supply and dive duration. Its one-way rotation prevents accidental movement that could lead to overestimating remaining dive time, enhancing safety during submersion.
• Luminous Hands and Markers – The hour markers and hands are coated with luminous material, enabling clear visibility in low-light or dark underwater conditions. This practical feature ensures you can read the time accurately, whether exploring a dimly lit reef or checking the time at night.
• Scratch-Resistant Mineral Crystal – The front crystal is made from mineral glass, offering strong resistance to scratches and impacts while maintaining clarity over time. It protects the dial from everyday abrasions, helping preserve the watch’s appearance through years of use.

Important Notes

While the Mako II is built for diving and rated for 200 meters, it is not intended for high-velocity water sports or technical saturation diving. To maintain water resistance over time, periodic maintenance—including gasket inspections and pressure testing—is recommended. The watch arrives in compact packaging measuring 4.4 x 3.6 x 2.9 inches and weighs 6 ounces. For warranty details, customers should consult the manufacturer’s official policy. Orient has been committed to producing high-quality, attainable timepieces since 1950, with a focus on enduring style, precision, and reliability. This dedication is reflected in every aspect of the Mako II, from its mechanical movement to its rugged yet refined design.
