Orient Mako 3 Review With Strap Alternatives! (RA-AA0821S19B)

Orient has recently released the Mako 3 in several new color combinations! The watch is virtually the same as the Kamasu, but with a different dial and different colors. I opted for the ivory dialed one with the reference number RA-AA0821S19B. The Kamasu has been one of the best value for money dive watches out on the market for several years. This Mako 3 model is currently a little bit more expensive than the Kamasu, but I suspect that prices will come down to a similar level after some time, making this a superb value offer.

In Finland, you can get your Orients from Timanttiset:

My one watch collection is now complete. Great Review.

Good detailed review. I've had mine since May 2023 with no regrets, but I would say I've sacrificed a bit of legibility with this one in low light. Its such a good looker though, and performing really well.

[rdstone]

Great review as usual. At this point I feel quite settled with my red dial Kamasu. But I really liked that silver dial, which is a kinda nice change from mostly dark dials usually on divers. And of course it's always interesting learning about new Orient models.

With your video now I can make my final decision, thanks a lot. Please continue doing the straps change and close captions of each part of the watch please consider doing it for 2 scenarios: 1.- under almost direct sun light and 2.- indoors light. Thanks and regards.

I really appreciate that you mention your own wrist size, exactly equal to mine, so this video has really made me sure that I will buy this watch.

After years with dozens of classic black dial divers, I experimented with what Seiko called a champagne dial on their recent 38mm series and found that I really like it. This Orient has a similar sunburst color on a more substantial case, so it really caught my eye.

Again, great review.

An excellent successor to the traditional Mako II. I'm highly inclined towards rhe blue, looks very fresh and pleasing.

[todddewell]

Very good review. Thank you for the strap pairing I found that very helpful.

[adrianvg]

The light-brown leather strap will look awesome on this watch, after the strap gets patinated just a bit!

[alexbramley]

Fantastic review, thank you! You clearly know the Orient range well, which can be a little confusing given the lack of official names for the divers.

I bought my first watch DW-5600BB back in February after seeing your video. So this comment is kind of word of appreciation to your channel. Thank you sir!

As for the Orient Mako 3, I've already seen it on the pictures and now seeing your review I think I'm going to take a look at it at my local dealers once it is avaiable. I want to expand my collection with some diver's watch.

[toshitominaga]

Thank you Anders! Nice to hear your thoughts on Orient!

[emmyr]

Thank you for the review. I didn't watch the whole video, so I maybe missed, but what's your wrist size?

[akash.randhawa]

I’m having a hard time deciding between this and the burnt orange/red colour as my first watch. Any suggestions?

[abioqaas]

Ordered this model about a month or so ago but upon receiving it I noticed that the dial had a scratch on it. Returned the watch and haven’t ordered a new one as of yet.

[deanP.]

I like this one. I already have a Kanno but will probably get this one next year if the price drops or I can catch it on sale.

[MyEnemy]

Great-looking watches. I love my Ray II. Can't wait to add this one to my Orient collection.

[ansonlan]

Nice review! the crown seems way more easier to adjust than Mako 2 as well, crown on my Mako 2 is just so slippery

[pareshkhanwani]

Hi superb review....my favourite part was the strap combinations....can you tell me whether the sunburst dial and lack of antireflective coating affects the readability?...thank you🙂

[Jason-hveu]

My Mako 3 looks just like a Kamasu. It says Mako 3 on the box. I've had it for several years now.
