Orient
Watches are known for their functionality, reliability and good looks.
An affordable range of Orient Diver watches is available in the Orient
Mako Series which is perhaps the most popular in the market today.
Although the Orient Mako is a classic diver’s watch meant to be worn
while in the water, it looks good on your wrist outside water too.
While Orient offers a whole range of
watches including diver watches to suit every budget, the Mako is
specifically designed to meet the needs of divers. The watch is water
resistant up to a depth of 200 meters making it perfect for swimming,
snorkeling or scuba diving. The dial colors of the Orient Mako range
from black to stunning blue to a sporty orange and the large face of the
watch make it easy to read the time even under water. Additionally, it
has luminous hands and hour markers that light up at night for easy
reading of time.
The watch straps of Orient Diver Watches
are specifically designed so that they can be adjusted to fit over a
diving suit. The strap material is also water friendly so that you can
wear Orient Diver watches while on your swim. The watch case is usually
made of stainless steel which is again a good feature for a diver watch.
The Orient Mako series is competitively priced making it an affordable
diver watch with all the essential dive related features.
Before you get the impression that Orient
makes only an affordable range of diver watches, let me tell you that
they offer some seriously high-end models as well. The Orient Diver
Automatic Saturation Diver is a solid, masculine watch that incorporates
all dive related features. I wouldn’t say it falls within the
affordable range, but considering the features on offer, it is
definitely worth the price.
As its name suggests, the
Orient Diver’s automatic watch is specifically designed as a saturation diver watch and is water
resistant up to depth of 300 meters. Being a saturation diver, the
watch case is tightly sealed so it does not need a release valve for
helium buildup as you resurface from the deep seas. Another attribute
specifically designed for diver watches is the fact that the case is
made of anti corrosive material. Also, the watch bracelet is well
constructed and designed to be adjustable so as to fit over a dive suit.
Minute markers are essential in a diver’s watch and the
Orient diver watches does not disappoint – bold minute markers appear on the chapter ring of
the watch. It also has a power reserve indicator to show how long the
watch will work. To recharge the watch, simply wear it for a while.
The crystal on the watch face is
anti-reflective allowing you to read the time even at angles. Large hour
markers and hands filled with luminescent material add to the clarity
of the watch. Perhaps, the most important feature that adds to the
watch’s worth is Orient’s automatic movement that is manufactured
in-house. Japanese movements as we all know keep perfect time and are
extremely reliable.
All said and done, the Orient Saturation
Diver watch is specifically designed for some serious diving although it
looks handsome on the wrist even otherwise.
