Side-by-side comparison of specifications and features
Compare visual case presence and physical footprint on one shared wrist. Measure your top-down wrist width for a stronger result; lug-to-lug is used when the catalog has it.
Medium (6.7″)
Estimated top width: 56.7 mm
Preliminary range: 54.7–61.8 mm.
Watch A

Proportional guide only: visual presence and physical footprint do not predict comfort. Weight, thickness, caseback shape, rigid lugs, strap stiffness, wrist-bone prominence, wearing tension, bezel design, and case curvature change how a watch actually wears.

1 field is excluded from the differences view because one watch lacks comparable data. Use “All specs” to inspect those gaps.
Orient Kamasu and Orient Mako II can look close on a spec sheet, yet the tradeoffs that matter most are usually entry price versus premium finishing or specs. They both touch the diver and tool use case, so smaller spec differences can matter more than brand preference.
Bottom line
Orient Kamasu is the better buy for most people because its sapphire crystal is a meaningful durability upgrade over the Mako II while retaining the same practical automatic-diver formula. Choose Orient Mako II only when its numeral dial or a substantially lower price is the deciding factor.

Movement and upkeep
Orient Kamasu: automatic movement
Orient Mako II: automatic movement
Both use the same movement type, so maintenance differences are limited and fit or feature details should decide the purchase.
Size and wearability
Orient Kamasu: 41.8mm · L2L 47mm · 169g
Orient Mako II: 41.5mm · L2L 47mm
Their size profiles are relatively close, so fit comes down to shape, weight, and how each watch sits on your wrist.
Water resistance
Orient Kamasu: 200m
Orient Mako II: 200m
Water resistance is similar on paper, so focus on fit, features, and price instead.
Price and value
Orient Kamasu: $375
Orient Mako II: $230
There is a real price gap here — treat the more expensive option as an upgrade decision and confirm whether the extra spend buys something you will notice in weekly use.
Style and use case
Orient Kamasu: diver
Orient Mako II: diver
Both lean into a similar diver use case — the choice is more about fit, features, and price than category.
Crystal and materials
Orient Kamasu: sapphire crystal · steel
Orient Mako II: mineral crystal · steel
Crystal choice can change long-term wear expectations — one may prioritize scratch resistance while the other keeps cost or vintage feel in check.
Orient Mako II is often the value play at current pricing, while Orient Kamasu makes more sense if you will use its extra features regularly.

Neither is clearly smaller: case width is 41.8mm vs 41.5mm and thickness 12.8mm vs 13mm. Pick on strap and looks instead — the size difference is not what will decide this for you.
They are rated the same, so water resistance will not decide this. Choose on strap material and how much you mind scratching the case.
Orient Mako II is the value pick at roughly $145 less. Pay more only if a specific difference above matters to you — otherwise the cheaper one is the smarter buy. Confirm live listings, since marketplace pricing moves.
