It is worth noting that the Mako 3 has a large crown compared to Kamasu and thanks to that there are no strange-looking gaps between the crown guards as in the case of Kamasu.
The ivory/champagne dial has a color pallet I’ve used on many custom cars in Gran Turismo. Champagne + green + bronze + orange = me! I must have that watch!!!
All four of these watches are great. I wouldn't say no to any of them. It's so hard to choose. The champagne-colored dial is very different and beautiful. And the combination of dark gray and yellow attracted me. I think it might be gray.
I preferred the Mako II to the Kamasu but chose a black dial Kamasu only because of the sapphire crystal. The black Mako III is my favourite being the most versatile. Blue second favourite.
Great video. I am a huge dive watch fan with a decent collection across a variety of brands. I don't have any Orient models, so I've done some recent YT searching. The Mako III has started appearing in my feed, including this vid, so your review is really helpful. I like the blue and gray versions. I don't have many gray-dial watches, so this one has sparked my interest. The blue-dial is pretty cool and I like the fact that it's a matte blue. Liked & subscribed.
This is my first Orient. Also the first time to spend quite a bit on a watch. I was eyeing the blue one, and then got tempted by the red version 😅 In the end, I chose the silver watch as it would go well with my current wardrobe. Happy with it so far!
Can you confirm that The burgundy one doesn’t t seams to have the sunburst effect that the kamasu has ? Too bad the kamasu doesn’t t have a burgundy bezel. it would be eye catching !!! Great job for having the 4 of them !!! The champagne dial is eye pleasing and very versatile not too loud but still pleasing to the eyes
I have never been a fan of multi-colored bezels but that blue kano 3 looks great. I would have loved to see the minute hand from the Kamasa on this watch, that would have made it an instant buy for me. I'll definitely be picking one up down the line as a replacement for my Kamasu after the stem broke a while ago.
@3:52 It's got two lions and a crown. The logo is both regal AND metal as fuck. How could they possibly improve upon it? Besides giving the lions guitars and sunglasses.
my 1st orient watch is bambino 38mm vintage dial. I'm planning to get a mako new updated version but i don't know which color to choose. Which color do you recommend? I prefer a versatile color
Appreciate this review. I love the sword hands on this watch. I wish other watch makers (Omega!) would go back to this style. I'd call that red Passion Fruit.
At the very beginning.. When Kamasu introduced people think that there won't be any more Mako so some named the watch as Mako3. These are all made up names by watch people. Nothing official. However years later Orient came up with this new watch which is obviously the follow up of Mako 2 so now this is %100 mako 3 and the other one is Kamasu. Some old videos/posts/reviews may still remain calling Kamasu as "mako3" but it is actually Kamasu
Thanks for the great video n sharing all the colourways with us. 😊 I'd likely go for the Burnt Red one as I like Sahara n Khaki shades, if I'm getting one... However, I won't go for it as there are too few improvements; Sapphire Crystal n a bigger crown. Although these are notable improvements, they are still not enough to pull me away from my blue dial Mako 2. I'm impressed witha new colours, improvements n the value proposition, but honestly, it's still too little to entice me... I might take a look at the New Orient Sport n see what else they can offer. 😁
What a nice review! From my point of view still Mako 3 cannot beat the Kamasu 1 even both have saphire cristal. The design of the first Kamasu way better than brand new Mako.
Nope.. This 4 color is the current collection for worldwide markets. There are some other options for the Japanese market only but still no orange there
@@GuamTime It was only released in Japan. I have spent a long time trying to find one because I want that colour. Completely sold out everywhere in Japan. Good luck finding one!
Kamasu prices are dropping like a stone due to release of mako 3. You can find Kamasu with sub 200 usd price all over the internet. What a good deal, get the Kamasu 😂
Very good video, comparable to the ones of teddy baldasare but better because of the industry hindsights in my opinion I would like to some of your own opinion in the video, could be great
I have a Mako 1 since 2011, it was my first automatic watch. A present from my sister for my 18th birthday. It has a special place in my heart. It a solid watch. But let's be honest the design is dated now... it does not look like a real man's watch. Now that I'm 30, I'm more into small classy minimalistic watches like Jaeger Lecoultre master grande ultra thin. I'm never get rid of my beloved Orient, but for me it's a child's watch 😊

Gran Torismo was a great game :)
Fine addition and update on the traditional Mako family. I've been tempted by the blue, i think they mixed well the tones there.
I really like how you go in detail
with color options and matching possible outfits

Ivory one is what I will go for. STunning colour! Still waiting for the price to go down a lil bit
Not sure if it will drop :( Kamasu is cheaper but probably the old stock is being sold now. Inflation is busting :(
@@thewatchloupeThe red Kamasu is about 50% more than the other Kamasu colorways 😑
I preferred the Mako II to the Kamasu but chose a black dial Kamasu only because of the sapphire crystal.
The black Mako III is my favourite being the most versatile. Blue second favourite.
Bought the blue to match my eyes and love it. First watch in my collection of one.
Great job getting all four color ways to show us!
Champagne/silver dial for me followed by gray. Good review. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!

I actually like the one that looks like a rust colour. Don't have anything in my collection that is that colour. I think it would be a good addition
I choose the Red , it’s understated but very nice ….. nothing like the vibrant Kamasu red . But it can be more versatile.
I just got this watch yesterday. It's my first automatic watch. It looked much bigger in the pictures, but it fits perfectly!
Great starting point for a mechanical watch. Wear iin good times
thanks@@thewatchloupe
This is my first Orient. Also the first time to spend quite a bit on a watch. I was eyeing the blue one, and then got tempted by the red version 😅 In the end, I chose the silver watch as it would go well with my current wardrobe. Happy with it so far!
Geeat news.. enjoy
my first orient too, i got the “ivory” dial…almost went with the grey one.
Probably the best review of Mako 3. 😁 Cheers!
Just bought my first 2 Orient watches, Mako 3 Gray and the Limited Anniversary edition.
I also love the Champagne, blue and the orange/rust color.
Excellent review !!! enjoyed it thoroughly - loved the red Mako-3 !!!
Awesome, thank you!
Can you confirm that The burgundy one doesn’t t seams to have the sunburst effect that the kamasu has ?
Too bad the kamasu doesn’t t have a burgundy bezel. it would be eye catching !!!
Great job for having the 4 of them !!! The champagne dial is eye pleasing and very versatile not too loud but still pleasing to the eyes
It has on the dial but the colors on the mako 3 line are more on the pastel side. I believe kamasu colors are more vibrant.
That white champagne dial for me!
It is a beautiful colorway. Unfortunately for me, the black outline of the date/date windows ruins it. So close...

Can i ask, what music do you use at 05:00 because the melody is stuck in my head.
I believe it’s “When The Saints Go Marching In” theme

Gray looks great.
Very good watch for very good price.
I enjoyed watching this video.
Thank you.
Tank you for this helpful video. It really helps me to can choose the color. I think I the blue will be my choice.
Glad it was helpful!
Can you please make a review on Orient Symphony 4 which is now released with Sapphire crystal?
Love your hat, can you please tell me we're u got your Panama hat.
Hola buen video ,crees que el cristal de zafiro lleva Ar? Parece que no verdad ?
No estoy seguro. Pero no lo creo
The red is a real looker
I realy like the one in champagne color
I think the champagne colour since I have the first three colours-Kamasue
Appreciate this review. I love the sword hands on this watch. I wish other watch makers (Omega!) would go back to this style. I'd call that red Passion Fruit.
Totally agree
Champagne/Silver! I Love it!😜
Did anyone notice the flaw after looking at the dial and bezel that the min. is off or is it just me. There is a gap near the 25
Love the blue one 👍
To the point review and very interesting informative too. Nice job. Post many more
looking forward to your review on the newly released 39.9mm Orient diving watches (RA-AC0Q07V)
Newbie question. Is Mako 3 and Kamasu are the same?

However years later Orient came up with this new watch which is obviously the follow up of Mako 2 so now this is %100 mako 3 and the other one is Kamasu.

@@thewatchloupe so they are different.. thank you for the info
Thanks for the great video n sharing all the colourways with us. 😊
I'd likely go for the Burnt Red one as I like Sahara n Khaki shades, if I'm getting one... However, I won't go for it as there are too few improvements; Sapphire Crystal n a bigger crown.
Although these are notable improvements, they are still not enough to pull me away from my blue dial Mako 2.

I might take a look at the New Orient Sport n see what else they can offer. 😁
Can decide between orient mako v3 & seiko 5 sport 38mm. Anyone which is better and why?
I like the champagne color a lot
What a nice review! From my point of view still Mako 3 cannot beat the Kamasu 1 even both have saphire cristal. The design of the first Kamasu way better than brand new Mako.
Thanks Burak for adding your opinions. 🙏
I’m going to disagree, the indices and colorways of Kamasu 1 is what kept me from buying it. I bought the Mako 3 instantly.
Yo compraré el gris. Saludos
Is there an orange version?
Nope.. This 4 color is the current collection for worldwide markets. There are some other options for the Japanese market only but still no orange there
@@thewatchloupe th-cam.com/video/CO6RFGG86p0/w-d-xo.html
Yes there’s an orange gradient one ^

I agree mate
White and brown
Very good video, comparable to the ones of teddy baldasare but better because of the industry hindsights in my opinion
I would like to some of your own opinion in the video, could be great
lume good or bad??
Average.. Kamasu had better lume(almost Seiko good)
very beautifull watches
Someday (not today) Orient will give us drilled lugs on the Mako's...
That would indeed be great. I am also OK with a better SEL bracelet
It is gray not black, not the same thing.
So many blacks and white and blue....this watch needs a yellow one

aaaaa erk abi :D
