Since its introduction in 2004, this series, affectionately known as the “Orient Mako,” has developed a wide variety of dial colors and details, and has become widely popular among watch enthusiasts around the world. Orient, which was born as a watch brand in 1950, has built credibility through its in-house integrated production of mechanical watches and sales in more than 70 countries, and will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2025. To commemorate this occasion, we are releasing three types of chronograph models: the Orient Mako and Orient Mako 40, which are limited to 6,000 pieces each (1,000 domestic and 5,000 overseas), and the Orient Mako 40, which is limited to 750 pieces. The theme of the limited edition model is “Blue skies and an exhilarating feeling like cutting through the wind.” Common
specifications such as the sky blue dial that stands out in active situations, the radiant embossed pattern reminiscent of the wind, the second hand inspired by sunlight (chronograph second hand for chronographs), and the old Orient logo in cursive that was used in the 1950s emphasize the special feeling. Additionally, the back lid of the case, which is water resistant to 20 atmospheres thanks to the screw back and screw-down crown, is engraved with the words “Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary” in cursive and a limited edition serial number. “Orient Mako” with a case diameter of 41.8 mm and “Orient Mako 40” with a case diameter of 39.9 mm have a running time of 40 hours Equipped with an in-house self-winding movement (with manual winding) that achieves stable precision over time, it is extremely practical for both outdoor and town use. The Orient Mako chronograph model uses a light-rechargeable movement that converts energy obtained from light sources such as the sun into electrical energy to drive the watch, making it useful when frequently using the chronograph function in a variety of situations. In addition, a new regular model has been added to the 39.9mm diameter “Orient Mako 40” with the theme of compact, simple, and light (lightness), which uses the popular color red on the dial. The bright red color stands out even more with the silver rotating bezel, and the yellow tip of the second hand creates a sharp image. In addition to the sophisticated diver design and ease of use regardless of the occasion, the pursuit of high quality also enhances the appeal of the Orient Mako 40, such as the sapphire crystal windshield, 20 ATM water resistance, SUS316L stainless steel metal band, and caliber F6722, an in-house self-winding (hand-winding) movement that achieves stable high precision.
