Orient Mens Automatic Diver Style Wrist Watch Kamasu, RA-AA0003R39B

If you're looking at this watch, there's a good chance that you've been seeing all these positive reviews on the Kamasu. I don't blame you for wanting to see it for yourself. This watch is what I consider to be THE watch that every watch enthusiast should own. Even if you're not into watches and you happen to see this watch and this review, there's a good chance that you'll end up buying this when all is said and done. I got the red dial variant of the Kamasu. The first thing I noticed when unboxing was how rich the red dial was. Red dials are not very common and this red dial is what I consider to be perfect. The dial has a sunburst to it that comes alive in the light and gives off rich hues of red. The 120-click unidirectional bezel rotates counterclockwise and on mine, was a bit stiff at first but eventually broke in and gives a satisfying click with the stiffness substantially subsided yet will not turn by mistake. The bezel features an aluminum bezel insert and having the dive bezel makes perfect sense as this watch has a 200m water resistance rating. It's not ISO 6425 rated, but you can certainly get away with the occasional rain shower or spilled drink. Powering this bad boy is Orient's in-house F6922 movement with 21,600 beats per hour/3Hz with the accuracy range being -15 to +25 seconds per day while mine is +5 seconds a day. Your mileage may vary. It features a day/date complication with an English/Spanish day wheel. One thing to be aware of is to avoid setting the day/date between the hours of 9pm-3am so as to not damage the movement. Power reserve is 40 hours before you need to wind it and set it up again. Sitting on top of the dial is a flat sapphire crystal with no anti-reflective coating on it. The inclusion of sapphire makes this watch a great value for the money you pay for. Despite the lack of AR coating on the crystal, this watch is very easy to read at a glance. My only gripe is the bracelet. While perfectly serviceable, it comes with hollow end links and rattles/squeaks slightly when wearing it. This wasn't a problem for very long as I swapped it out for a Strapcode Super-J bracelet, but apart from that, the default bracelet features solid links and a foldover clasp with a flip lock and four positions of microadjustment for that perfect fit. This watch is a spec monster. It has all the goodies that you would want in a watch and will perfectly serve as your next tool watch. I love this watch so much, I also purchased the green dial variant. No matter your color choice or what watches you like to gather, this Orient Kamasu has a spot in everybody's collection, whether you know it or not. The Spec Beast From the East. Japan's hot value diver. This is probably the only tool watch you will ever need.

It's a beautiful watch and great quality for the price point. It inspires lots of compliments.

After one week of ownership I can honestly say I love this watch. The maroon face with black bezel is striking. The weight, lume and overall quality appears to a great value for a watch under $400. The band is just "OK" and not nearly as bad as some previous reviews have suggested. I was able to re-size through adjustment pins in the clasp...no big deal. My watch gains 4 seconds per day, which is good in my opinion. It's a new watch so we'll see what happens as it wears-in. Overall I would highly recommend.

Amazing, beautiful watch Brand New as advertised

Others have pointed out that there are many reviews rating this a top buy for the money and I’d have to concur. The red (almost ruby really) dial is stunning in natural light. The bracelet isn’t the best but it’s adequate for the job. It uses simple pins so its easy to resize yourself even if all you have is a paperclip. And you can always buy secondary straps/bracelets if you don’t like it and that would still keep this timepiece in the great value for money category. But as some have noted, the bezel isn’t really “perfectly aligned” at the 12 and 6 markers. Basically, if the 12 arrow mark is sitting right over dead top noon/midnight, the bottom 30 indicator will be slightly off from dead bottom 6. And vice versa. I don’t think it’s a bezel alignment issue (it may be, can’t really tell) but more likely a haphazard choice of fonts for the numeral markets that creates this. I’ve seen one on someone else at the airport and walked up to compare and his had the same issue. So it’s possible they are -all- like this, or a huge batch at least, and it’s just not that much of a noticeable issue to anyone other than a perfectionist. Which, for the price, I am not. As a nice looking highly water resistant diver, I’ll accept the flaw but I do hope Orient addresses it if it’s a design issue and not that the bezel was just mounted improperly. Honestly, I can’t see how it’s a bezel mount issue at all as no matter how I view it I can’t get the top and bottom to line up perfectly. I’d still buy it again….but I’d caution perfectionists from doing so.

This is a really good looking watch. I was not a fan of the bracelet, so I switched it for another.

The best dive watch under $500. Period. The red dial is stunning , especially in sunlight. The build quality is terrific and the size is ideal for a wide range of wrist sizes. Orient punches way above it's weight with all their models.

Nice watch

Great looking watch with plenty of lume. The red on this watch dial is another level, absolutely stunning. The watch has great accuracy too, variation of 3 seconds in a 24 hour period. Your mileage may differ. Wears smaller than a 42mm.

Bilekte harika duruyor . Orta

Me encanta esta versión con la esfera rojo burdeos que al recibir luz directa se ve espectacular... Volvería a comprar este Orient Kamasu sin dudarlo,el precio está bien por lo que ofrece,cristal zafiro,200m,un movimiento fiable ,fecha,día y que es Orient marca con tradición relojera y buen hacer. Personalmente para que fuera aun más de mi agrado yo le pondría una corona más grande,un bisel de cerámica y lo haría en 44mm de caja mínimo.La correa es básica aunque para mi no ha sido un problema pues ya tenía en mente cambiarla por una nato...

Best red Watch at this price point. The sunburst effect is amazing and doesn’t shout too much red. Highly recommend if you got more than 1 watch

Es gibt schon viele positive Kommentare. Ich möcht einfach kurz (neben der aus meiner Sicht, ganz hervorragenden Verarbeitung ++ ausgereiftem Uhrwerk) betonen, dass ich eher selten auf Anhieb so begeistert bin. Dies war in diesem Fall echt anders. Begann mit dieser = 'schneller als erwarteten' = Zustellung und dann: 'Diese wunderschöne Uhrenbox mit Samtkissen.. und Garantie + Minibüchlein, Rechnung.. ++ dieser perfekten Uhrenpräsentation und 'irgendwie sehr liebevoll + hochwertig".. UND UNERWARTET !!! Tja, dann diese Uhr = 'roter Sonnenschliff', der schöne Zeigersatz.. und ALLES einfach makellos und Hochglanz, bishin zum Logo. Genauigkeit nach 24Std. bei +9 Sekunden, (ganze Zeit am Arm getragen), da bin ich 'sehr glücklich' und für mich ist grad diese Kamasu 'einfach wunderbar', sowohl technisch- als auch optisch.. und - mag es, wie das Ziffernblatt 'mal fast schwarz und 'mal bordeaux-rot-metallic. so schimmert und NACHTS ist ALLES 'ganze Nacht' gut zu erkennen und diese Lumi-Farbe ist wirklich SEHR GUT, da braucht niemand Bedenken zu haben und Seiko's Lumibrite mag wohl 5% heller sein, aber - wenn doch SOGAR das Minidreieck des Sekundenzeigers, =so 'die ganze Nacht' SICHTBAR ist.. dann sind diese Indizes und anderen Zeiger es wohl erstrecht.. und auch die Verarbeitung des Armbandes war einwandfrei.. und scheint sich wohl auch 'verbessert' zu haben, weil da garnix quietscht (wie berichtet wurde) und auch die Bandstifte sind sehr robust.. und bleibt also erstmal dran, weil es auch sehr hochwertig verarbeitet ist + makellos. Von = Saphirglas + 20 bar + verschraubtem Boden + Day-Date + Sekundenstopp + Möglichkeit des Handaufzugs = bei 40 Kronen Umdrehungen (=40 Stunden Laufzeit), bishin zur verschraubten Krone, die zusätzlich unter Druck einzuschrauben ist (so löst sie sich "NIE" von selbst.. und vorallem "NIE" unter Wasser), und DANN zuletzt noch diese 120 Klick Lünette und präzise Einstellung- ob als Timer für 'ne Pizza, oder auch Nordrichtung (mit 3° per Klick..) und eben AUCH 'sehr vielfältig' und vorallem SINNVOLLE Ergänzung ++ auch dieser Leuchtpunkt ist = plan geschliffen + versiegelt.. und irgendwie könnte diese Uhr ECHT das Doppelte "wert sein".., bzw. eine entsprechende Seiko mit Saphirglas liegt ja Preis-Faktor um 2,5 bis 3 mal höher.. UND wiederhole mich kurz, aber an DIESE Optik, dieser schönen Kamasu,.. kommt diese Konkurrenz, aus meiner Sicht, NICHT heran. (Tja, ich bin begeistert.. und wollte aber Niemanden beleidigen.. und Orient gehört ja Epson Gruppe, wie Seiko.. und ALLES ja irgendwie einfach "eine Familie" und wer da nun DER oder DIE Schönste ist, .. darum geht es eigentlich ja weniger.. als hingegen um jene Verlässlichkeit = (hier japanische Uhrwerke) und "einfach TOLLE Familie" und trotzdem gefällt MIR ""diese rote Kamasu'"" mit schwarzer Lünette + Edelstahl.. ECHT ziemlich, ziemlich gut, wie man vielleicht gemerkt hat.. und auch der Verkäufer hat sich ein ganz dickes Lob 'verdient'.. und möchte mich an dieser Stelle ==> GANZ HERZLICH bedanken und BESSER geht es NICHT !!! ..Liebe Grüße aus Oldenburg..
