help Orient Kamasu FAQ

Is the Orient Kamasu solar-powered like a Citizen Eco-Drive?

No, the Kamasu uses an automatic mechanical movement powered by its mainspring and rotor. It needs neither sunlight nor a disposable battery, but it will stop after its power reserve runs down.

Can the Orient Kamasu be hand-wound and hacked?

Its Orient F6922 movement supports hand-winding and hacking, so the seconds hand stops when the crown is pulled for precise setting. It also displays both the day and date.

Is the Kamasu suitable for swimming and diving?

The Kamasu is rated to 200 meters and has a screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel. Owners should still verify crown closure and seal condition, especially on a used watch that has not recently been pressure-tested.

What distinguishes the Kamasu from the Orient Mako and Ray?

The Kamasu is especially known for its sapphire crystal, a feature often missing from older Mako and Ray models. All three offer affordable automatic diver styling, but dial design, hands, bezel grip, and crystal material vary by generation.
