Great video as always Ben. I love these new models and happily upgraded from my old one. The redesigned bezel and crown, the sapphire crystal, the stunning dials - yes they're worth the extra and still good value

Mind-blowing honest presentation as always !!! Well done !!! Am planning to get one from Jomashop

I really like your videos. I once, many years ago, lived in Harrogate and visited Leeds a few times. Marvelous city with great shops. I only wish I had been interested in watches when I was living there, 1969 to 1974. I may well order an Orient Mako III soon based on your video. Cheers - Dick from Florida

I have the blue one, because I hadn't seen a watch in that color that was affordable and I liked the look of as much. Been happy with it so far.

A really nice looking watch. I wasn't aware of this Mako III before now. I really like the dial and colour of it. The dial style and bezel looks similar to my Casio MTD 1053's that I have which are quartz diver watches as you know. I would definitely purchase the Orient though if it was 40mm like my two Casio's. Nice review Ben and thanks for showing us this watch.

Nicely done video here and I’m glad to have run on it. I’ve been following Orient watches for only a year but I liked the Kamari specs and dials so much, that I bought three dials (black, green and red) last year. I’d always liked the styling of the Mako II but held off due to some lesser specs, especially the Mineral crystal. Now the Mako III? That spoke right to me just 2 days ago and I just watched this one. Thanks to the dial styling (I love the green and beige) and the Sapphire Crystal, this one’s a beauty! And, Ben, you’ve give this new Mako iteration a well-documented take that helps the rest of my decision. Overall, this watch gets nearly a 9/10 for a lot of reasons. Thanks again for this video!

Thanks Ben for showing off this new line up. All color variants are really interesting and I've decided to give the champagne variant a try to replace my Seiko SPB143J1, which I've fallen out of love with.

That’s a huge upgrade! Love the color

I really like this Orient. Sized just right and better equipped. Very nice color as well.

Orient knows how to make a watch no doubt i like how they market their products too. I think they're the underground powerhouse the citizenry likes. Not a fan of the 2 tone bezel though. God be with you

Thanks for sharing an enjoyable and informative review. How about reviewing the new Orient RA-AC0Q01B Mako 40?

Wow love the dial color you don't see that everyday and the bezel very cool colors 👌

Bro I saw your movie Split! You were awesome

I did buy an Orient Mako III exactly like the orange one shown in the video. I think from a looks standpoint it is stunning. I haven't been able to wear it yet because the bracelet is way too big. I was able to adjust it a bit using the tiny holes in the clasp. But I need some links removed and that will have to be done by my local watchmaker. Thanks for making this video. Without it I wouldn't have this nice Orient Mako III. Cheers

Orient is great. I love this brand.

Love the color scheme. Maybe I'll try to build a seiko mod that captures that

The Mako III are fantastic developments, but i will expect until next year when prices may get down. I'm considering the blue, looks quite different from other blue divers in my eyes.

Gorgious. Only two glitches in otherwise perfect design this red touch on a bezel snd daydate.

That's the crown from the original Mako, nice to see it back. They really cheapened the dial, crown, and lume on the Mako II, so I swapped mine to the II.

I bought the off-white "ivory" version some time ago. It looks really classy.

Tasty looking watch that 👍🏻

The red dial version is nice......it is about the style these days for me as well as the spec. I now wear a watch to tell the time, stop watches and GMT etc....are ok but an app on your phone can do all of this and much more, so a watch can be for many, a way of telling the time at a glance and of course the styling has to be good !

do you have descriptive video about your camera setup ?

You completely overlooked the Triton mini which imo is the best of the current range of budget orient divers.

Can you go casual swimming with the orient kamasu? Ive gone swimming with my orient kamasu and forget to screw down the crown.. is it still fine? Or does the water could potentially get in. (Swimming dept is around 1.5 meters)

I like the red on the kamasu

Will you review new 5kx 38mm Seiko 'divers' (more like diver style..)?

A Beat Error of a whopping 4.3 ms doesn't seem "ok" to me, but rather "catastrophic" on the verge of "defective", even for an affordable movement... but then again, there's a good chance it could be improved by adjusting. The colour is loveley though :)

Bro Could you please do a review on watch brand :- Daniel klein, Guess, kenneth cole. This watch brands are really doing great in indian market and I want to know If they really hold any value in watch expert eye, I really looking forward towards your response.

Is there a nice Orient diver with size od 38mm or 39mm ?

It's lovely wow

How about cover the fact that Hardlex and mineral crystals are more scratch prone, but less likely to shatter.

Was That beat error terrible or did I see that wrong?

I've been looking for an excuse to purchase an Orient watch since I learned of their existence years ago. I thought this new release would finally compel me to pick one up but I thoroughly dislike the gold/gilt accents on the black dial. Eh, I guess I'll just wait for the Mako IV

Can someone please tell me what the difference is between the MAKO III and the Kamasu? Thanks

So this is now more expensive than a Kamasu? I think I'll stick with the Kamasu then. The Mako has a better crown but I don't don't think rhat is enough reason to turn my back on the icon that Kamasu is. Now if they bring out a no date Ray 3 with this specs I will have a serious reconsider

I’ve had my Mako 3 w/ Champagne face for about a month now. The dial has no looseness or “play,” so that must be luck of the draw. My only complaint is the bracelet, as it’s quite cheap & “tinny” feeling to the point of also squeaking before mineral oil is applied. I swapped for a silicone strap. Overall, great watch for $240 US. 👍🏻

I got the Kamasu for about 100$ (best value I have ever seen pending the arrival of a Tandorio that I recently ordered for 50....) I dig the new style a lot too but paying 250 is a 150% up-mark which yeah... NO!

I used to own a gen 1 Mako. I liked it at the time but, after a while, you wish you had hacking, hand-winding and a higher beat-rate. For starter watches, there is nothing better though.

Already have the best Orient, the green teal Kamasu.

Should I get a Kamasu or the Mako 3?

Please please make a Mako,Ray,Kamasu 38 mm and 45 mm lug to lug

I hope Ben could make a video addressing this issue. The watch community needs to be notified…people out there are still buying those defective Mako 40 at retail price!

If they reissue the Orient Saturation Diver 300 m I think they might sell a few. I want the Beast, not the Twirp.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I prefer the old Mako II colours. This new one looks more like a Seiko mod gone wrong, like someone threw it together with the only spare parts they had lying around. If they lose the red accent on the bezel and replace the yellow seconds tip with a silver one I might be interested.

I don't much care for the 3 colors colorway they are using. Almost looks like they just weren't quite able to match the dial and bezel colors. I've got a Ray II in blue sunburst, love that watch. Grip on the polished bezel sucks though.

I got the white dial one for around 220 usd, I am happy with it. Thou the first thing I did was removing that bracelet, and buying myself a nato strap. The bracelet is horrible, it feels finicky and light weight.

Wished they would do a no date/day one

Hands and shape with crown guards look like an Omega Seamaster 2254.50

I dislike orient's jingly end links. Anyone know of an aftermarket replacement?

Maybe it’s me but I don’t see how this new Mako 3 looks any better than the Ray 2 (which I own in black on the bracelet) or the Mako 2-maybe you gave to see it in person… I also think the four new colorways are bizarre including this burnt orange/ brown version. Sapphire crystal aside there is no other material upgrade justifying a 100 quid price increase. The new Mako 3 chrono panda on the other hand is a real looker and offers something different with the solar movement.

As usual, the first thing to do with an Orient is replace the bracelet. At this price, I want solid end links and machined clasp.

It looks great.

And also they released Mako 40mm.. hope Orient won't become another Seiko

On one hand, I really like Orient's more elegant design. I absolutely love how legible and good looking Rays and Makos are. On the other - I find their bezels kinda hard to grip and incompatibility with SKX007 adds insult to injury. Oh and if one strips the thread on Ray 2 crown tube, the entire case has to be replaced since the crown tube is an integral part. And of course parts availability for Orients simply doesn't exist. Bezel click spring? Can't buy. Crystal gasket? Can't buy. The only way to get them is to send the watch to the only "authorised watch repair service" in my country, which inflates the prices at will simply because he can.

Most of the "improvements" are purely subjective. The two significant improvements are the crystal and the crown.

I do like it, but I definitely prefer the Kamau models over it. Also found it rather comical that you gave it an 8.6, are you trying to trigger everyones OCD!? Top video as always Ben.

I wish they'd cut the bracelet down to 20mm. 22 is out of proportion to the case.

I like all the colors, but I just don’t like the 6, 9, 12 numerals
