Men's Japanese Automatic / Hand-Winding Stainless Steel 200 Meter Diving Watch

4 and a half stars if it were an option This is an aweaome timepiece, looks good and makos(and of course rays) keep great time once they've settled in I personally have 3 beefs with these watches. First, the crown on the new makos and rays is definatly too small. Hard to grip and a pain in the neck to screw in becuase its so small. Not a deal breaker, but should certainly be addressed when (if?) They ever decide to come out with a mako/ray 3. Second, the bezel on these watches looks great, and I dont mind that they're a bit stiff, I actually kind of prefer that, as it won't accidentally move. However, because the watch crystal isn't sapphire, I think the bezel should be tall enough to create a buffer for the crystal, 2 or 3 mm taller and it would greatly reduce thw chance of scratching the glass. Third, I know they make a 'usa' version that addresses this, but. The watch braclet and the crystal. The end links on the braclet alone could be so much better, presumably for not too great a cost to orient. I'd gladly pay an extra.. Say 10 or 20 bucks to have that improvement. The same applies to the crystal. Call that 30. Really amazing at 150-170 bucks, could be mind boggling at 200 -230. The lume isn't amazing either, but the ray has chunky hands amd indices, making that not really even a problem. I own several makos, and this is my first ray. My work watch for the last few years was a black dial mako(original) on a leather cuff/band. I still runs great but the crystal is scuffed to the point I allmost want to buy a crystal press and attemt a repair The ray (in blue) is now my work watch, and I'm gonna try to remeber to take it off if I get into anything particularly rough going forward Don't take me wrong though, I would highly recomend this watch, it's pretty, it's low cost, and remarkably well built, especially for the price. It can dress up or down well enough for 95% of most peoples day to day lives. I just see that a few details can be improved upon, and in my mind, the first 2 alone would make this watch the last I would want to own. Last thing, why doesn't Amazon carry the USA Version?

As many reviews have already echoed, this is one of the best automatics available at this price point, and it punches above its weight class in many categories. Pros: - Lume is better than most watches at this price. - This is a great looking watch. I didn't initially love it after wearing a Submariner clone for years, but it has really grown on me and I think this is a fantastic, unique design. - The case feels and looks thin, making this a relatively low-profile and non-bulky diver. - The band feels and looks sturdier than similar watches at this price point (i.e Invicta Pro Diver) and the clasp is smooth and strong. - The movement is quite accurate, and certainly for this price point. I'm seeing ~5spd fast, however other reviews have reported that this will change as the movement wears in (they are assembled in a non-used state). Cons: - Lume is not as good as 'nicer' watches - The mineral-crystal glass seems to 'smudge' more easily than other watches I've used. Reviews mention scratching, which is probably likely, and a sapphire replacement is a common upgrade. - The crown is a little too small and not knurled enough, as has been reported ad-nauseum. - Some reviews complained about the bezel being hard to turn. It *is* harder to turn than some other divers, but I haven't had a significant issue. - I would love to see a clear case back for this. - The date wheel in the second language is a little weird and it takes a bit of time to change over. If you're up in the early morning you may get an unexpected date reading.

This is my first automatic watch and I must say I have mixed feelings about it. The thing is that you should consider if automatics are for you, cause they are not for me. For the uninitiated this is not your typical mall boutique watch. This is NOT a quartz watch which means there is NO battery. It holds mechanical energy in a spring that is wound up by either wearing the watch or by manually winding it using the crown. This also means that the watch will only work for so long as the sprint has tension on it. This is referred as the power reserve. This watch has about 2 days power reserve in my experience. So you should expect to find the clock "dead" after a few days of not wearing it. THIS IS NORMAL every mechanical watch works like this, not matter if is an Orient, Citizen, Omega or Rolex. Of course some watches have longer power reserves, but purely mechanical watches usually only hold a few days of power. Automatic watches such as this are also way less accurate than your $10 chinese quartz watch. Yeah you read that right a $10 chinese no brand quartz watch is way more accurate than a $9,000 Rolex Submariner. This is just part of how the technology of the 2 differ. You should NOT expect a mechanical watch to be sure accurate. Even Omega and Rolex high end models are only about +/-5 seconds a day. This Orient has about +/-40 seconds and is under $200 which is pretty amazing. You should also keep in mind that every watch has a slightly different deviation in accuracy so you model could be +/-8 secs a day while mine is +/-30 secs a day. You might find it almost as good as some watches worth 10 times more. For me it's a pain to have to rewind the watch every 2 or 3 days.I have several watches and I constantly change between them in the week, but I notice I tend to use my battery quartz watches and my citizen solar way more than this specially when I'm a bit late in the morning and I notice the watch died in the middle of the night and doesn't have the correct time or date. For those used to large watches I would say that you should first make sure the size is good for you. Coming from slightly bigger watches this feels like it needs 1 or 2 more millimeters in the diameter department for my taste. ::Looks of the watch:: The watch looks amazing, the details on the orient logo, the crown logo, the finishing in the bevel coinage, everything is spot on. I must say the logo on the dial is specially amazing. The details and size and how is applies amaze me every time I look at it. However while the dial looks nice I would say there is nothing special about it, while also nothing wrong, it just doesn't wows anyone. The band of the watch is not bad by any stretch for this price range but nothing amazing. Everything works well, there is almost zero rotor noise unless you can hear a needle dropping this won't bother you. It was a screwdown crown, hacking and manual winding. The crown action is very satisfying and every step is clearly defined. The bezel action is magnificent and I really meant it. The bezel has a 120 click action and is rock solid not a chance it moves by accident. Too be honest is a little hard to move but it also means it has zero and I mean zero play in either direction, the bezel action is amazing every click is very satisfactory. However the aluminium insert is a bit underwhelming since it's like a matte color it doesn't pops.

Ho voluto regalare questo diver a mio figlio quindicenne come "premio" per la sua promozione. Il suo primo "Orologio" con movimento automatico con la O maiuscola. Si sta appassionando al ramo (come già sono appassionato io …ahia) e ci stava girando attorno da un po’ di giorni documentandosi con recensioni e video. Alla fine …sorpresa e l’ho acquistato. Sorvolo sull'effetto "unboxing" perché andiamo fuori tema ma siamo rimasti entrambi di sasso. Bisogna ammettere che solo aprendo la sua scatola/cofanetto l’orologio fa un figurone addirittura inatteso. L’impatto è importante, il contrasto di colori conferisce un aspetto splendido. L'orologio non è minuscolo, ma è di misura molto adatta anche ad un polso relativamente piccolo. In una parola lo definirei "sbalorditivo". Il contrasto tra i colori blu e l'acciaio della cassa e del bracciale è spettacolare e sembra un orologio decisamente più costoso di quel che è. L’ho pagato al momento 165€ e dico che sono soldi spesi bene. Difettucci per chi ha il palato sottile ma visto il prezzo …trascurabili: la chiusura del bracciale ha delle mollette laterali (a me non piace) il bracciale non ha prolunga per la muta la lunetta girevole è scivolosa con mani bagnate la corona è troppo piccola e scivolosa ha un vetro minerale … ed è un peccato perché nell’uso sportivo può capitare di graffiarlo. Se ne fate uso rigorosamente sportivo/impegnativo potrebbe avere qualche limite. Ma è veramente molto molto elegante. Non sfigura affatto se portato anche tutti i giorni per andare in ufficio o in altre situazioni non necessariamente sportive o estreme. Ha un peso discreto che lo fa sentire quando è al polso e si tratta comunque di un orologio dall'aspetto relativamente massiccio curatissimo nei dettagli e di ottima fattura, costruito con grande precisione. Davvero un bell’oggetto che consiglio assolutamente senza remore, maneggiandolo e anche a vista sembra molto più costoso rispetto al prezzo a cui viene offerto. Orologio giunto ben imballato con la sua scatola originale sigillata completamente "pellicolato" e nuovo di pacca con istruzioni e tutto quanto perfetto come atteso. Essendosi trattato di un regalo - molto desiderato dal destinatario - anche l'unboxing, con la bella scatola-cofanetto dotata internamente di cuscinetto bianco e tutte le pellicole sul bracciale, ha avuto un suo perché, ed è stata un’esperienza molto piacevole. Amazon ha consegnato come oramai ci ha abituati con tempistica eccellente.

Brilliant watch - and at this price I wouldn't consider any other watch anywhere - to cut a long story short - if you have a budget of £400 and are looking for a dive watch - forget anything else - get this - sure the Seiko SKX is more iconic, along with the Turtle - but they aren't versatile - too toolish and would look odd with a suit. This on a bracelet is versatile - And forget any Quartz diver by any other brand - this is a great watch - spend the money, enjoy it and wear it as it'll last a lifetime too. This is a high quality piece, nice finishing throughout - under a loupe (8x) reveals good finishing on the dial, hands and indices All in-house - forget boutique trash - this watch is made in Japan along with every component (made by Seiko Epson) Strong lume - a high quality bezel with 120 clicks Signed crown engraved caseback - hacking handwinding and excellent time keeping with a very durable movement water resistant to 200m and ISO certified - enough for any sort of scuba diving (not saturation diving) Very well made and finished case with polished and brushed elements Beautiful sunbust blue which catches light and looks different under different light - very interesting and a pleasure to look at - coupled with the red marker on the second hand and the nicely shaped hands - makes for a gorgeous watch. Only downside is the bracelet features no screw in links, no solid end links, a pressed clasp and doesn't taper - replace with a Bonetto Cinturini italian rubber dive strap (22mm) in navy - suits this watch perfectly. Bracelet options - available but pricey - (forget the Oyster style one and go for the Endmill) - on a quality bracelet this will match a far pricier watch. This is a proper watch, a proper dive watch and looks and feels fantastic Buy it

良い商品です 品質も文句なし この値段でこのつくりは素晴らしい 贅沢をいえば ケースサイズをあと1ミリか2ミリ 大きくしたい

No entiendo cómo venden este reloj a este precio, está increíblemente bien hecho y con una atención al detalle que enamora en cuanto lo ves. El bisel es ligeramente duro pero eso está muy bien, no quieres que se mueva por si solo como con marcas más caras con biseles excesivamente suaves. La pasta luminosa es de muy buena calidad y se mantiene brillante al menos media hora y visible cerca de dos (no lo he probado en agua, solo en aire). La corona roscada me da mucha seguridad de uso en el día a día. No es un reloj caro que me de miedo usar para todo, pero es tan bonito que dan ganas de cuidarlo. Una correa nato le da una vista diver aún más auténtica y lo hace algo más cómodo para la época de calor, vale la pena el cambio si lo paga usar de diario. Ya estoy viendo si comprar más relojes de Orient. El margen de exactitud que yo he notado no pasa de +-10 segundos al día

Orient Ray II Automatic! Absolutely stunning watch, so happy with this purchase. Great design, sturdy build, goes well with casual and business attire. Ignore any smudges on the watch, I’ve been wearing it for a few days now. When it’s fresh out the box there isn’t a single blemish. My only gripe with this watch is that the crown is hard to use (tight) and bezel is a bit stiff to rotate. But those are both positive features for dive watches as the tight crown prevents water from getting in the unit and the stiff bezel prevents slippage which means you won’t lose track of time. My unit keeps time at +3 seconds per day which is great accuracy, but this may differ between units. The value for money in this watch is fantastic and I highly recommend this for anyone looking to purchase their first automatic/divers watch. You can’t go wrong with this colourway either.
