These Orient Mako Divers watches show here are beautiful. I particularly like the blue dial one with the stainless band but I also like the orange dial one with the black strap. I presently don't have a favorite divers watch but have had some Seiko ones that worked very well. I appreciate the opportunity to win one of the Orient Mako watches. Thank You!!

Ohh and by the way my fav dive watch is my brand new TissoT-T-touch..
Best regards to y'all

The Mako is up with Seiko Monster. Yes I own both

My favourite one is Orient Mako and Seiko Black Monster

I currently wear a Mako, and to replace a Rolex from daily wear. It is a nice looking watch, and has held up for now pretty well.
The Rolex was passed down to me by my father, and is as old as I am. Durning that time it has only lost 1 minute and 3 seconds very month. Which is surprising since it has been abused in daily use; fish guts, dropped on a highway at 60 mph and driven over by a semi, and more. Other than replacement of the sapphire crystal and regular maintenance , it continues to have the same accuracy from the day it was purchased in 1968.
The only complaint I have of Mako, is a monthly gain to time of 5.1 minutes monthly. Otherwise it is a nice looking watch, and it's taking the daily abuse well.

Hi,
I have several divers my favorite is my Debaufre Triton 2000 meter. Real nice looking and quite durable diver. Rated for 2000m (6562 ft.) has helium release valve and is definately a deep diver. The quality of the watch is right up there with some more expensive swiss made watches. A steal for 850.00. Check out the website if interested at (Debaufre.com)

One of the best dive watch on the market.

ORIENT-mako-automatic-diver-real watch for real man !

My favorite is the rolex submariner,because it a classic,but i really like the Orient classic divers watch as it has the same classic appeal!

my favorite orient is FD0C001M w ss braclet and orange face

I like all variations of diver style watches, but the Orient is a great variation of the traditional look with a very accurate and well made in house movement.

My current fav dive watch is the Mako. Easy to read and clear at my depths.

Rolex Sub-Mariner

My current favorite dive watch is the Deep Blue 300M DayNight Ops. Wonderful watch with a decent movement for a good price.

Nice watch, and thanks for having this contest.

I just bought an Orient 2ER00002D, the blue dial 100 meter submariner watch that apparently has been discontinued. It is a classy watch that has consistent, day-after-day accuracy. It always loses 4 sec a day and has for the two weeks I have owned it. That is better than my Rolex Datejust. After it settles in I may have it adjusted.

Iv'e heard of orient wathches, but never seen oone. I'm a fan of automatic watches, I have a vintage 1950 omega sea master and an invicta diver. I love how the Makos look and would love to have one

Nice loking well made watch.

I have never heard of Orient until seeing your blog! They are striking and at a price point that would not "break the bank". It is a nice watch you could wear everyday, be sporty, and not worry about so much about losing it!

Had a orient watch till someone stole it off my wrist...Was jumped by 2 guys...Like to try to get anotherone...Thanks..Tom Gorman

Hi All,

My favorite dive watch, and I have two, the Seiko " Monster " one in orange with a rubber strap, the other black on the bracelet. the only problem I have with the Seiko monster is the autonomy of the main spring, I take the watch off on Friday night after wearing it all week, by around 10pm Saterday evening it stops, and as you know this piece can't be manualy wound. The 7S26 movement needs a good shake to get it running, just like me!
But' they sure are cool looking.

Regards to all watch lovers!

Very good website highly recomended very good watches to have

Seiko Monster and Omega Planet Ocean are my favorite diver styles. I never really looked too carefully at the Mako, but I'm starting to love the proportions.

That is a lovely array of watches... the color schemes and coordination are excellent, the interface is simple yet classy. just by looking at the straps you can tell it provides absolute comfort as well as exuding a sense of class and sophistication.

this is not your regular day to day use watch this one is one of a kind fave is an Orient!! It is the 300m saturation diver with black face. oh yeah i would love to win....

I am new to watches, but I have fallen in love with Orient and their affordable watches! As a poor student, they are a godsend. I know it's a boring answer, but I feel like there's no replacement for the original Rolex Submariner. If it's good enough for Bond, it's good enough for me!

I like the simple, uncluttered style. I currently wear a St. Moritz Data II. But I could retire it if I win...

Awesome looking watch. My favorite watch is the Omega Seamaster Professional - a bit too expensive for me though.

I absolutely love the style of this dive watch. Thank you for the giveaway. Pick me!

I have been admiring the Mako for some time so this may be my chance to add it to my small collection! My favorite watch is the classic Rolex sub, but alas can't seem to justify the expense when there are so many divers available at a fraction of the price. My Seiko Black Monster gets most of the wrist time these days.

Well my favorite bond is Pierces Brosnan and he has the Omega Seamaster Professional 2531.80 (But a bit more expensive for a student). But the orient sub 2er0 model and mako lock nice and a more affordable price for a student :P

My favorite diver watch is the Orient Mako.
Although it was released several years ago, it still looks better than many latest diver watches,including many Swiss made watches.

I appreciate it own style and quality, which separate it from other diver watches.

I don't dive, but I think diver watches are more reliable.

Timeless Clean lines
Favorite still the Breitling Superocean

The Orient Mako is a very nice diver's watch and the best thing about it is the affordable price. I would say my favorite diver style watch has to be the Rolex Submariner. It features a timeless style combined with a high quality Rolex movement.

One of the best Divers watch in my view is the Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph, with orange bezel. It iss clear, its luminous, its meaty on your wrist in the water.

Other more budget conscious models would be Citizen automatic divers watch, and Rotary Aquaspeed. They both do what it says on the tin.

My favorite dive watch is the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
The only thing I dislike aobut it is the price tag!

Good luck to everyone!

Hi, the blog is really great but it doesn't cover a lot of more expensive watches. I have a breitling Emergency and I think it is the best survival watch one could get. It saves life man. I was gifted that watch by my dad who is a pilot.

My favorite diver-style watch is the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Classic.

Seiko SKX007 is my favorite but this orient would be nice to have in my collection to :)

rolex explorer 11 is the best watch i,ve owned. for utility wear an orange monster seiko

Cool watch.

IMHO Any DOXA watch is a must for any diver that wants reliability.

I you want both reliability and the looks of a thing of beauty then:

BLANCPAIN's Fifty Fathoms is for you.

Greetings from Colombia!!!

I have to say the Submariner; there's simply no other real alternatives.

I like panerai style dive watches and the orange orient watch. Very nice giveaway.

That is truly a beautiful watch, especially the "Pepsi" one, wow. I own a low-end Casio diving watch (the model number escapes me at this moment) that was actually found in the ocean at the Outer Banks by my mom back in approximately 1993. It still worked which shocked her, so she kept it and tossed it into a bucket with her seashells. She found it again later and my dad said it was too big for him, so it sat in a drawer for years. He gave it to me around 2001 and I instantly fell in love with the watch because it just feels so sturdy and has such a cool story behind it. I don't wear it daily now because I want to keep it in good shape still, but I'd love to have another diver's watch like this Orient to become my new daily ;-)

My son is a navy diver, and I am sure would like a watch like this. I am retired Navy and would love to send a fine watch like this to him on his birthday to let him know that he is not forgotten while serving his country. Best regards, Robert E. Browne CPO, USN, Ret.

I like the look of the watch. I'm not a diver so I'll have to appreciate it twice as much, just like the Omega Seamaster which I would love to own one day!

Can I have three favorites? I like the Marathon gsar, Vostok amphibia, the one worn by Steve Zissou in Life Aquatic, and the Mako. I like each of these watches for different reasons although I have never used any of them. The Marathon looks like it could be hit with a hammer, run over by a Hummer and worn to 300 meters and keep on ticking. The Vostok is a great looking watch. The MAKO is a good crossover that is a pratical dive watch and a nice dress watch.
