Orient Mako II | Automatic / Hand-Winding Movement | 41.5 mm Case Diameter | 200 m Water Resistance | Diver Style | Day & Date

Items Description

The Orient Mako II is an automatic dive watch that delivers reliable mechanical performance and a classic underwater aesthetic for enthusiasts and everyday wearers alike. Powered by the in-house Caliber F6922 movement, this timepiece offers both automatic and hand-winding operation, giving the wearer flexible control over power reserve management. With a stainless steel case measuring 41.5 mm across, the watch sits with a balanced presence on the wrist, while its unidirectional bezel and screw-down crown reinforce its diving credentials.

 

At the heart of the Mako II is a black dial marked with Arabic numerals and a day-and-date complication, framed by a mineral crystal that protects the face in active conditions. The watch is rated water resistant to 200 metres, a specification that places it firmly within professional diving territory while remaining practical for swimming, snorkelling, and daily exposure to moisture. The combination of the F6922 calibre, which hacks for precise time setting, and the robust 41.5 mm case makes this model a dependable companion for those who value function over flash.

 

Key Advantages of the Orient Mako II | Automatic / Hand-Winding Movement | 41.5 mm Case Diameter | 200 m Water Resistance | Diver Style | Day & Date

 

1. Reliable Automatic Movement with Hand-Winding Capability

The Mako II is driven by Orient's Caliber F6922, a self-winding movement that also supports manual winding for added convenience. This dual-winding approach ensures the watch can be started quickly after a period of inactivity, while the hacking function allows the seconds hand to stop for precise synchronisation during time setting.

 

• Caliber F6922: Automatic and hand-winding operation with an approximate 40-hour power reserve.
• Hacking Function: Seconds hand halts for accurate time adjustment, a useful feature for divers and daily wearers.
• Day and Date Display: Bilingual day wheel and date window positioned at 3 o'clock for practical readability.

 

2. Case and Crystal Built for the Water

The 41.5 mm stainless steel case provides a sturdy foundation for water-based activities, complemented by a unidirectional bezel that tracks elapsed dive time safely. A mineral crystal sits over the dial, offering impact resistance suitable for recreational diving and everyday knocks.

 

• Case Diameter: 41.5 mm with a thickness of 13 mm, offering a substantial yet wearable profile.
• Band Width: 22 mm lug width, compatible with a wide range of aftermarket straps and bracelets.
• Clasp: Fold-over clasp with a safety release for secure closure during active use.

 

3. Black Dial with High Legibility

The black dial of the Mako II uses Arabic numerals at key positions, paired with luminous hands and markers to maintain readability in low-light underwater conditions. This configuration prioritises legibility at a glance, a trait valued by divers who need to read elapsed time without distraction.

 

• Dial Layout: Arabic numerals for clear reading, contrasting against the matte black background.
• Luminous Elements: Hands and indices coated with luminescent material for visibility in dark environments.
• Unidirectional Bezel: 60-minute markings allow safe tracking of dive time, with a firm detent to prevent accidental rotation.

 

4. Robust Water Resistance Rating

Water resistance is a defining attribute of the Mako II, rated to 200 metres (660 feet) by the manufacturer. This specification supports recreational scuba diving, swimming, snorkelling, and water sports, while also providing peace of mind during hand washing or exposure to rain.

 

• 200 m Rating: Suitable for professional marine activity, including recreational diving.
• Screw-Down Crown: Reinforces the water seal and prevents moisture ingress during submersion.
• Case Back: Solid screw-down construction that contributes to overall durability and water resistance.

 

5. Diver-Style Design with Everyday Versatility

The Mako II adopts a classic dive watch silhouette with a substantial crown guard and a steel case that transitions between casual and semi-formal settings. While its purpose-built diving features dominate the specification sheet, the design language remains versatile enough for daily office wear or weekend outings.

 

• Case Finish: Brushed and polished surfaces that balance tool-watch ruggedness with a refined look.
• Strap Options: Typically paired with a steel bracelet or silicone strap that matches the 22 mm lug width.
• Weight: The all-steel construction offers a reassuring heft without feeling cumbersome on the wrist.

 

6. The Legacy of Orient Watchmaking

Orient has manufactured mechanical movements since 1951, and the Mako II continues this tradition through its in-house Caliber F6922. This vertical integration allows the brand to control quality and reliability at every stage, a factor that appeals to buyers seeking mechanical authenticity at an accessible price point.

 

• In-House Movement: The F6922 is designed and produced by Orient, ensuring component compatibility and serviceability.
• Heritage: The Mako series has long been recognised as a dependable entry point into mechanical dive watches.
• Value Proposition: The combination of automatic winding, 200 m water resistance, and day-date function represents strong utility for the price.

 

The Orient Mako II is best suited for first-time mechanical watch buyers and budget-conscious divers who want a genuine automatic movement with proven water resistance and a functional day-date display. For those seeking an affordable entry into mechanical dive watches, the Mako II offers the core features of far costlier models without unnecessary complexity, backed by decades of Orient's manufacturing expertise.
