This one surprised me quite a bit. How do you feel it compares to the original Orient Kamasu? Pick up this Orient "Kamasu II" on Amazon: amzn.to/3LbES5U

Have worn mine for 2 years now and love it! Amazing watch

I just picked up the teal/green version and my god it's just fantastic. Love how dynamic the dial can be depending on angles and lighting. Sometimes it looks black and the next second it's a vibrant turquoise. In addition I prefer the nearly entirely brushed finished on the case as it gives it more of a tool feel. I think Orient really knocked it out of the park with this one.

It really is a stunning watch, and the dial is unlike any other. Enjoy it!

any update about the watch??

It's worth mentioning that the new Kamasu has brushed sides of the case and nice polished lines between brushing. The old Kamasu, on the other hand, has just all polished sides. Orient will soon release a new color variant - dark red (such as in a limited version but with a steel case) and blue / gold (another limited edition).

Very subtle change but it looks so much better! In addition it was done to the sides of the bracelet links too.

Ordered this very same Kamasu, can't wait for its arrival. I think that the design is perfect; it has Orient's originality (hands, bezel), origins (gradient dial that reminds of older, 80s Orients) and respect for the historical diver aesthetics (circles and batons). Specifications are great and price is excellent.

​@@ChronometerCheck finally received it about a week ago. It's absolutely wonderful and versatile; not too large at all for my skinny 6,25" wrist. The sole problems are the small crown and bad-fitting end links, but these are usable nevertheless. Definitely planning another Kamasu this year!

Nice review! I have that red original Kamasu and that's one of the best dials in my rather extensive collection and a permanent family member.

Thank you very much, Scott. The red dial continues to impress - it stands out from any other watch I've ever seen, in a good way. Cheers.

Great review orient make great quality watches at affordable prices I have two ray 2s both with strapcode bracelets and after market sapphire crystals and they look awesome plus I have just managed to get my hands on an orient Neptune with the power reserve meter,I've already ordered the strapcode bracelet for it 👍👍

Thanks for doing a side-by-side of both watches. A lot of other videos on the 2nd gen don’t. I prefer the 1st gen though. More original.

side by side kamasu gen 1 red dial looks gorgeous

The new one is so nice❤

I much prefer the new markers. And I love the grey gradient dial. I think the new version is a definite step up in design. I'm still carrying a Mako II so it might be time to treat myself...

Haha, have you pulled the trigger yet? From experience, the temptation only grows...

Are the metals the same color tone? I like the after market bracelet on the red, but like the brownish black dial more. Ideally would like to get the after market bracelet you have, and put it on the brownish black dial! Also, is the Kamasu after market bracelet even compatible with the Kamasu 2?

Absolutely love the Kamasu 2 in gray. Just upgraded from Ray 2, also gonna swap the bracelet for the milanese mesh

Hi, what would you choose between this or seiko srp775 turtle? Thank you and hope you could help me choose.

Hey loved your video! One question, for the days on this watch they dont seen to be the typical sun, mon, tues, wed, etc. is this a different language? or am i just dumb haha

Thanks for the video I do prefer the circular hour markers makes it somewhat more dive style, but then again I would like to see the dial all black, gradient is just not for me.

Does that Strapcode Jubilee fit the Kamasu II?

Did they fix the wobbly crown issue in the kamasu II?

The bezels when new are nothing like the bezels after a few months of use. My Kamasu bezel is now soft and mushy, barely any sound and I can turn it with one finger like a fidget spinner. I am very bummed by this. Does anyone think this is fixable?

I had triton and now i order this one .please can you help me tell me if this is much smaller? Because i dont want to be very small.i have almost 7inch wrist

Get the Original Kamasu, it's more timeless and appropriate in every situation, and as a first/main watch at 18, you will want something that can serve you well through a variety of situations: from pool parties to job interviews, and the original Kamasu (especially in black) can easily do both.

Why can't they put antireflective coating on the sapphire crystal? As you can see from your video, there is constantly glare. I assume it is a corner to cut that increases their profit margin, but no manufacturer should use sapphire without antireflective coating.

@ChronometerCheck

2 жыл бұрын

I do agree, and frankly, AR coating is one of the things that can take a watch from "good" to "great". In retrospect, some of my favorite watches either had some sort of AR treatment, or were generally a bit less prone to glare being an issue (think lighter dial watches as opposed to black). I couldn't imagine it would hike manufacturing costs too much, but then again, I'm no manufacturer.

I have 5 Orient watches(Mako2, Ray2, Kamasu red, Kamasu green, Kamasu 2021) now. They are all great watches, but if you shake them left and right softly for more than 10 seconds, they all speed up for 4 ~ 5 seconds immediately. Also, they all speed up approximately 10 ~15 seconds after walking for 3 ~ 5km or exercise in gym) Since all of my 5 Orient watches and SKX007 are same, I think it's normal for them.
