Orient RA-AA0004E19B popularly known as Mako III is my first automatic watch, and I can admit with a clear conscience that it was an ideal choice. I was guided in my choice by three principles - legibility, versatility and elegance. I found all these three principles in the Orient watch.
The Mako III attracts not only by its appearance but also by its quality - it is equipped with a reliable in-house automatic movement from Orient and, which deserves high praise, the possibility of tightening the mechanism with the crown, which is known from high-end watches. The watch has - as befits a diver - a high water resistance of 20 atmospheres, making it possible to dive in it even to 200 meters without fear. An incredible asset of the watch is the sapphire glass used, which is scratch-resistant and provides the effect of a "salon watch" regardless of the time of use. The bracelet is made of stainless steel, so we don't have to worry about it rusting, while the downside of the bracelet is that at the very beginning of use it can be mildly annoying, because it slightly creaks and is sometimes noisy with more violent movements of the hand.
The above Orient is also a very functional timepiece, as it is equipped with a rotating bezel, with which we can easily mark and measure the time, for example, from parking the car in a paid parking zone or set a reminder of what time our train departs. Of the other very useful features of the Mako III watch, it should be noted that it has excellent lume, which will allow us to easily read the time in the dark. The watch also has a date display with day of the week and month indication. It is worth mentioning that we can choose the language of the day of the week date tracker from two language versions - English and Latin.
