Mako 40 RA-AC0Q16N Watch

The Watch

The Orient Mako 40 RA-AC0Q16N Watch stands out with its clean yet high-performance design. It features a round case crafted from stainless steel - a material synonymous with strength and durability. With a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 12.80 mm, it strikes the perfect balance between wrist presence and wearing comfort. The brushed matte finish gives this timepiece a distinctly modern, refined look. The sapphire crystal, known for its toughness and scratch resistance, effectively protects the dial. Its rotating bezel, fitted with a minute track, lets the wearer measure specific time intervals easily and accurately.

The Dial

The smoked dial of this timepiece is a study in understated elegance and functionality. Its shifting color creates a subtle play of light that naturally draws the eye. Luminescent hands and hour markers ensure perfect legibility at any time of day or night. Arabic numerals on the bezel add a sporty flair and make reading the time effortless. A date window is neatly positioned at 3 o'clock, adding a practical complication. The minute track reinforces the watch's precision and ergonomics, making every glance a pleasurable experience.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Japanese automatic movement - the F6722 caliber by Orient. Renowned for its precision and reliability, this caliber oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vph. This movement engine not only delivers top-level performance but also provides a power reserve of 40 hours, keeping the watch accurate and running even when left unworn. The mechanism incorporates a hand-hacking feature, allowing precise time-setting. This technical achievement reflects the expertise and innovation that define the Orient manufacture.

The Strap

The bracelet of this watch is crafted from stainless steel, featuring a brushed finish that harmonizes perfectly with the case. Its generous lug width of 20 mm ensures a perfect fit around the wrist, blending comfort and security. Equipped with a deployment clasp, it allows for quick and easy fastening while providing maximum security during wear. Its metallic grey tone highlights the contemporary, refined look of the whole piece, while the matte finish adds a touch of understated elegance.

Water Resistance

The water resistance of this watch is one of its standout features, rated at 20 ATM - engineered to withstand pressure equivalent to 200 meters of depth. This makes it suitable not only for everyday wear but also for more demanding water activities such as swimming, freediving, and scuba diving. The screw-down crown and screw-down caseback are key elements in achieving this excellent water resistance, providing an extra layer of protection against water ingress and enhancing overall durability.
