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.

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.

If you are deciding between Orient Mako II and Orient Ray II, the real decision is usually about fit, features, and current pricing. They both touch the diver and tool use case, so smaller spec differences can matter more than brand preference.
Bottom line
Orient Ray II is the better dive-watch choice because its dot-and-bar markers provide stronger at-a-glance legibility and lume area. Choose Orient Mako II if you prefer its cleaner numeral dial; the movement, case, and core capability are otherwise very similar.
