43.4mm diameter, that's a Maxi Neptune! Nice looking watch but it would drown me 6.1inch lady wrist.

More like, Neptune Lite. Nothing mini about that chonker

Just bought this watch , wear it for a day , and my first impressions is as follows: 1. Very nice and readable dial and big round indexes. Great lume! Hands are great too. Logo and text above 6 could be better. Red arrow in seconds hand is very nice. 2. Very nice (and comfortable) crown at 4 that feels robust. 3. Case beautiful designed and built. Thickness at 13mm (thinner than most dive watches i saw) gives a classy look. Diameter is perfect for a 17 cm wrist. 4. Bezel perfectly aligned, clicks nice, no return, feels robust. 5. Movement has been +5 sec in 24hours. Date change immediate ,a little before 12. 6. Bracelet could be better , but for me is ok, gets the job done. Overall, it is a very nice sporty watch, that is easy to wear (not very heavy) and looks away more expensive that it is. Very Happy to own it. Recommended!

That’s a sharp looking watch. And, once again, your camera work is outstanding. You can make anything look awesome.

Have this in the dark green color. It is such a nice looking watch & has become one of my favorite everyday wears. I don't like the day feature on the Kamasu, I like the simpler cleaner look of this watch. Also being less weight & slimmer than the Neptune is a big plus. Very happy with this one.

This made me really consider this model. Thank you as always!

Just bought this watch and its amazing. Feels kind of small for the ones asking (7.25 in wrist).

Deffinitly considering picking this up as an alternative to the similar looking Seiko 5, the higher water resistance and sapphire crystal deffinitly mstvh up with what I'd want for this style of watch, especially with that neat looking 4:00 crown style

My Pepsi version of this arrived today from Amz. Looks great on the wrist...reminds me of an SKX with hacking and sapphire. Price is much more reasonable than an SKX these days.

I was soo close to buying a Seiko SKX...for 650?.....bought this Orient Baby Triton for $200 shipped.....Absolutely LOVE IT!!!!

I think I heard somewhere that starting sometime in 2020, Orient no longer assigns a "nickname" to their watches. They simply use the reference number for ID. I could be wrong, but; pretty sure I heard that from a reliable source. I like they looks of that black. If I were currently in the market for a diver, I would pick that over any Seiko in that price range. 8.5 inch wrist, so; no problem.Very cool watch, sir!

Grabbed this watch after your vid pushed me over the edge. Love the style with the 4pm crown, and I’m not a pro diver so extra certifications and stuff on the Neptune would just be overkill

SKX meets Kamasu + Ray II, I have been eyeing one of these for my collection, would definitely upgrade to a milled clasp

Nice review, very detailed and objective. Nice watch.

Kamasu or Ray 2 are a great size. I own a Ray 2 and love it. Compared, for example, to a Seiko SKX or SRPD, it looks so much slimmer (to me, it's the bezel design that makes it look slimmer, on the Seikos they are more vertical). The one shown in the video is still too big for my liking - but if you like the 43mm case and 51mm lug to lug go for it - the design is beautiful.

I am amazed, I always thought that you have to pay thousands for a quality watch and that if you cannot afford that, and buy something cheaper, that you'll be seen as a poser. You and Nico made me buy this and probably more to come...

This is actually my first mechanical watch that bought just a couple of weeks ago, in the pepsi color scheme. Really enjoy it. The only i dislike is a sound which i guess is from the rotor, which sounds as if metal is grinding against metal. Not always though, only sometimes. Will remove bracelet when i have some time to confirm its from the rotor.

I do believe this is my favorite Orient diver on your site.

With a case size of over 43mm unfortunately it will not be more wearable for a lot of people. I have a Kamasu which is perfect for most wrist sizes.

Why so many complaints about the size??? 43 mm is enough for a man's wrist

Loved my first watch, the black Kamasu, so much I ordered the black mini Neptune and seiko SNZG13 with a nato strap as my budget Hamilton field khaki. Now I got a collection and love it. All watches were under $250 each. Of course, I also got the gshock casioak with my Kamasu. Only wish they came out with a Ray 3 that has sapphire crystal. Orient is killing the budget dive watch market though and even the Ray 2 out specs seikos dive watches up to $600 being 20 bar. And is still better then Casios haha

Love the range of Orient dive watches. I call this one 'Tako'

I have had a blue Triton for over two years. When I saw this new model, I realized Orient was probably discontinuing the Triton/Neptune and picked up a black Triton while I could. I do like the longer minute hand of this new model and that it wears a little thinner, but like having a power reserve and full minute markings on the bezel (not just 15 minutes). My other Orient divers are a blue Ray II, a green Kamasu and a blue Orient Star Diver (RE-AU0302L00B). The Tritons have the best configuration of indices and lume of all my watches. I do not like totally losing an index to a date or day/date window. The combination of round and quadrilateral indices makes for very rapid reading of the time in dark conditions.

I recently bought a Kamasu. I admit I do like the cleaner dial here with the single date at 4 and the round markers. The bezel also looks better with the Sub style lines. However the size and value of the Kamasu is better. Also I think you really need to replace the bracelet with a Strapcode miltat one to really enjoy this watch. I replaced mine and it made a big difference. 400 plus 100 for a strap starts to get expensive for entry level. Good review video. Would be cool to see Orients line of divers all lined up to compare sizes.

Beautiful. Interesting how all watches that I like never get the size I want, few years ago when I wanted 44mm all were too small, now when I transitioned to 40mm watches all are too large. :)

Awesome,much better for the money than Swiss made!

You can get this much cheaper at New York Watch Store. I love this watch

Hollow end links and pressed clasps do not bother me; they allow the watch to be sold at a price point that falls nicely into my preferred range. This is the watch for anyone who complains about the Kanno's mineral crystal and the Kamasu's smallish crown.

I can recall watching this video a while back and had to come back after grabbing the green dial version at a bargain price Wears very well considering the dimensions. Quick question : Does anybody know if anything from Strapcode or any other aftermarket bracelet manufacturer fits this piece. Definitely would add something solid to the head of this thing.

Hi, please advise buying on orient mini Neptune or Kano black. Which one is better?

This is really just a prettier (subjective I guess) and probably better in a lot of areas SKX inspired. More expensive though. At this price I would have love a ceramic bezel and maybe a bettet clasp.. but hey, this is no microbrand.

Does anyone know of a bracelet that can be used to upgrade this watch? Solid end-links and milled clasp ideally

I actually see exactly what they did there. I really love the looks of the Neptune but am not willing to carve the cash for it since i don't really need all it's offering. This model on the other hand is perfect. It has the same good looks and feel, less clutter on the dial for a lower price. My wishlist just keeps growing..

If anyone is scared of the size and weight, on paper its seems like it wears heavy and clunky, but this watch wears super light. Its about the same weight as the SRPD, and it even feels more comfortable than that watch for me

It is a beautiful watch! Mini sounds good, after all it is not as big or as tough (expensive) as the Neptune. Fantastic review as always! Greeting form Scotland!

This watch suffers the same problem as the Kamasu - sapphire crystal with no AR coating. I would rather have mineral crystal at a lower price, or sapphire AR at a higher. Index of refraction for mineral crystal is 1.5, and sapphire is 1.76. That means uncoated sapphire has much more glare and dial washout.

With 500$ you can buy a Lorier Neptune 3, witch is a much better value, the bracelet is much better quality and the clasp is much more solid, you are getting a miyota 90s5, thaa as f is males better than the one orient is offering with this watch and you are getting a lug to lug of 47 mm, that suits a lot more wrists than 51 mm.

A somewhat confusing model line-up but it cannot be denied that Orient produce amazing watches for the money. Kamasu is my choice.

As of today the RA-EL0001B does not seem to be any longer manufactured. I found a 2018 new but 5 year old is risky.,,

Would it kill Orient to make a sub 40mm diver?
