Orient’s Mako line sits in the brand’s affordable automatic dive watch range, often cross shopped against entry level Seiko Prospex and Citizen Promaster models. This Limited Edition Mako 40 keeps the classic tool watch feel but trims things down to a more wearable 40mm case, paired with a grey sunray dial that shifts from charcoal to silver depending on the light.
Who is this for?
If you like the look of a dive style watch but find many divers too bulky, the Mako 40 makes sense. The automatic movement means it runs from your wrist motion rather than a battery, which appeals if you prefer a more traditional, mechanical feel. The sunray dial adds a dressier edge, so it can work with casual clothes and smarter outfits without looking out of place.
- 40mm case, a balanced size for most wrists, less slab sided than larger divers
- Automatic movement, mechanical, no battery changes, needs regular wear or winding
- Grey sunray dial, more character than a flat matte finish, changes with lighting
