In the history of the Orient, models with the design of a diver’s watch can be said to be a representative collection that has built a lineage for many years since the 1960s. In the lineage of Orient Divers, the “Orient Mako” series, nicknamed “Mako”, which means blue shark, was born in 2004. This season, a limited edition model was announced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this “Orient Mako”.
The feature of this work is the blue dial with Arabic numerals, which has continued since the first model. A blue gradient paint inspired by the beautiful sea surrounding Japan was applied from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock, and a pattern with a wave motif was adopted. Orient Mako’s unique unidirectional rotating bezel, which has six indentations, divides the aluminum plate into blue and black at the 20-minute mark of the triangular marker and scale for a stylish coloring. In addition, the gorgeous golden hands and the words “Anniversary Edition” written at 4 o’clock emphasize the special feeling of the 20th anniversary.
The stainless steel case is water-resistant to 20 bar thanks to the screw back and screw-down crown. The company’s own F6922 calibre with automatic (manual winding) movement achieves stable accuracy with a daily difference of plus 25 seconds to minus 15 seconds and a drive time of more than 40 hours.
Suitable not only for avid enthusiasts and collectors, but also for users who want to coordinate diver designs with fashion, the 20th anniversary “Orient Mako” is a rare model limited to 500 pieces in Japan. The price is 57,200 yen.
