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 watchBrand 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

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

El reloj ofrece una calidad excelente por su precio, gama de entrada a los relojes diver o de buceo. Compré el de esfera roja y de momento muy satisfecho: cristal de zafiro, movimiento automático japonés con reserva de marcha de dos días, corona a rosca, bisel unidireccional de 120 clicks (desplazamiento suave y no baila nada), lumen increíble, todos los detalles muy cuidados. El único punto negativo que le veo es el brazalete, que se debe ajustar bien a la muñeca para que no suene (un punto por debajo de la calidad general del reloj). Pero si se ajusta bien, sin problema. En resumen, un reloj para usar a diario que desprende calidad y además queda perfecto en la muñeca, si lo compras no te arrepentirás. Muy buen trabajo, Orient y Amazon como siempre de diez: envío en 24 horas y como recién salido de fábrica.
