Orient's Latest Mako, the Kamasu

The Orient Mako III, also known as the ‘Kamasu’, is the latest Orient diver from the Mako/Ray watch collection. The Kamasu is often compared to Seiko SKX007 and Citizen NY0040, in the category as best inexpensive automatic divers watch. In terms of visual, the theme for the Kamasu, is suppose to resemble the sharp teeth, fearsome barracuda, which in Japanese , translates to “Kamasu”.

The bulletproof material Kevlar has specific woven texture & non-shinny appearance, however poor flexibility. One of our best sellers is the Kevlar finishes synthetic watch straps, the material that can bend like nylon fabrics but looks like Kevlar. Here comes the new generation of Kevlar liked material, this time we applied it on genuine leather with improved fine texture and special touch. A special coating was applied to the watch strap to give an extra water-repellent protection which is not so common in the leather watch strap. Watch strap was made in extra long length also can fit larger size of wrist.

Just by looking at the Kamasu without checking the specs, you would already think its a great deal knowing you can add it to your collection for less than 300.00USD.

Here to chime in on the need for some quality aftermarket bracelets for this watch. Have you guys tried all the different 22mm endlinks in your stock? You might not even need to produce anything new if you find a fit out of existing stock!
