Orient Mako II Blue AA02002D Watch

The Watch
Crafted by Orient, the AA02002D presented here is a must-have for any collector of high-performance timepieces. This watch will appeal especially to diving enthusiasts thanks to its impressive water resistance. With a rating of 20 atmospheres, you'll be fully equipped to explore the depths of seas and oceans. The diver features a stainless steel case in grey, measuring 41.5mm in diameter and 13mm thick. A unidirectional blue rotating bezel frames the case and lets you track your best underwater achievements. A mineral crystal protects the dial from scratches, while the case back is screwed down. A crown at 3 o'clock allows you to wind the movement.

The Dial
Inspired by the color of the oceans, the dial of this timepiece is dressed in a magnificent blue hue. It features three hands indicating hours, minutes, and seconds. The seconds hand stands out with a red tip that adds a dynamic touch to the overall look. The hour indexes running along the dial edge are silver-tone baton-shaped markers, with 12, 6, and 9 o'clock displayed in Arabic numerals. The hour and minute hands, as well as the indexes, are luminescent-treated for easy reading in the darkest environments. The indexes are surrounded by a minute track for flawless precision. Two windows sit at 3 o'clock: the first shows the day, the second the date. Finally, the brand name appears at 12 o'clock and the water resistance rating at 6 o'clock.

The Movement
This timepiece houses a Japanese-made automatic movement, developed entirely in-house for undeniable reliability and outstanding precision. The Orient F6922 caliber features manual winding and drives the hour, minute, and second hands, as well as the two windows at 3 o'clock. It also offers a 40-hour power reserve.

The Bracelet
This timepiece comes with a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet. Featuring a three-link design, it delivers a decidedly masculine look. It is fitted with a deployant clasp with two push buttons for added security. The lug width measures 22mm.

Water Resistance
With a water resistance rating of 20 atmospheres - equivalent to 200 meters - this model is what you can confidently call a dive watch. A word of caution, though: while our watch experts agree this timepiece handles showers, baths, active swimming, and freediving with ease, it is not intended for professional scuba diving with tanks, where the pressure would exceed its rating. For professional divers, we recommend models rated at 30 atmospheres or more. We also recommend keeping the pushers and crown dry while in the water, to maintain a perfect seal.
