Orient’s Mako is Lauded As the One of the Best Affordable Dive Watches Available Today

I’ve reviewed a lot of watches on WYCA to date, and yet I’ve only ever reviewed two divers: the Tissot Seastar Powermatic 80, and the now-discontinued Cadence Buccaneer. The Tissot is excellent (and expensive), and the Buccanner can’t be bought anymore. It’s time we check out a new diver, and since we’re on the subject, let’s pick a diver that’s got a bit of a history and legacy to it.

Of course I’m talking about the Orient Mako. Every watch site, blog, and forum has at least one review of the Mako, and I suppose today’s the day we join their ranks.

So, here I am with the Orient Mako Rubber (FEM65003DW). This is the least expensive Mako I could find, snagged for under $185. Let’s check it out.
