description Orient Mako II Overview
The Orient Mako II pairs classic dive-watch styling with an automatic mechanical movement. Wrist movement winds the mechanism, and the watch also supports hand winding and stopping the seconds hand for time setting. Its 200-meter water-resistance rating, unidirectional timing bezel and luminous display give it practical sports-watch features, while the familiar analog layout remains suitable for everyday wear. The Mako II fits people beginning to explore mechanical watches as well as wearers seeking a straightforward daily watch with maritime styling.
It offers the appeal of a traditional movement without relying on light-powered charging. Its defining character is that mechanical experience combined with a functional bezel and solid case construction. Water resistance should be understood alongside the condition of the seals and crown, rather than treated as an unconditional diving guarantee.
help Orient Mako II FAQ
What movement is inside the Orient Mako II?
The Orient Mako II uses Orient's F6922 automatic movement, which added hacking seconds and hand-winding compared with the older Mako. That matters because you can stop the seconds hand for setting the time and manually wind it before wearing.
Can the Orient Mako II be used for swimming or diving?
The Mako II is rated to 200 meters of water resistance and has a screw-down crown, so it is commonly used as a swimming and recreational dive watch. It is still an affordable mechanical watch with a mineral crystal, not a luxury dive computer or ISO-marketed professional tool.
Is the Orient Mako II an Eco-Drive watch?
No, Eco-Drive is Citizen's solar-powered technology, while the Orient Mako II is a mechanical automatic watch. The Mako II winds from wrist movement and can also be hand-wound through the crown.
What is the practical difference between the Mako II and the Orient Ray II?
The Mako II and Ray II share the same F6922 movement and 200 meter water-resistance rating. The difference is mostly design: the Mako II has Arabic numerals at 6, 9, and 12, while the Ray II uses rounder dive-style hour markers.
