I have the black/grey one of this and it’s all I wear these days. Super versatile, understated, got the specs to boot. Makes a good case for a one watch collection.

I got the burgundy red limited edition today and I love it. It's a masterpiece in my opinion.

Nice one Stuart, great looking watch especially with the Pepsi dial...

Fantastic review. Love the soundtrack and the shots.

Brilliant video as always Stuart and that Orient is a very smart and desirable watch indeed, I want one 😃👍🏻

I've followed you mostly for your thoughts and reviews on the INT650, and was recently looking for a dive watch. Clicked on this video randomly, imagine my surprise when I hear your voice talking about a watch instead of a motorcycle. Small world. Great stuff and love from socal!

I've got the green version of the first Kamasu and it's the best watch in my collection. So much value for money!

Thanks for the review. I was confused on getting either a Kamasu or this model, wasn't sure which colour either, but this video convinced me. So happy with my decision

Awesome review! Mine comes in today!

The intro is 🔥

Thank you Uncle Stu. I bought one!! It arrived today and I’m delighted with it.

Those aquarium shots were great

Amazing underwater shots - highly professional and expert review!! Thank you!!👍

I have the ray 2 in that blue. It’s stunning in the flesh. A bit of a scoop here for you Stu, as this is the first review I have seen on KZfaq, well done. Maybe a new direction for your KZfaq career, have you seen the number of subscribers some channels have? Would be great to hear your no nonsense reviews on some of the pieces that get reviewed.

Uncle Stu, you are truly a renaissance man. Nuf said ... 👏 👏 👏

Great Watch and nice discount 👍🏻Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

If my bike ends up 200m below it can stay there, I ain't going down to get it. Ain't nobody got time for dat.

Well Stuart i think i will be getting another watch for my collection. I quite like the grey one as I already have a Seiko Pepsi. 👍

I've had an Orient Blue Ray II for a couple of years and it is worth every penny as it is a great watch.

Thanks Uncle Stu, just ordered my Pepsi after I received an email from TUS today to say it's back in stock !

A watch review! Great review by the way. Orient ronin. Good name. Greetings from the philippines.

Good name choice Uncle Stu as there’s a rather good American KZfaqr and Royal Enfield enthusiast called Old Man Ronin. Another great value Orient but,, despite the nicely curved lugs, sadly still too big for my itsy bitsy wrist.

Hello Stuart, last winter I perused many of your previous vids and found your aquarium series quite interesting. Did you film the underwater frames of this video in your aquarium? If so perhaps you could give an update on that fascinating hobby/interest sometime.

Very nice watch and video presentation folks

Very impressive illumination

I have this exact same model. It was sold on a German website as a Mako Kamasu Vintage style. It's an absolute gem. Saphire glas too for this price! You don't get that with Seiko. The blue in the dial just catches the light so beautifully. Even if I'm wearing my Citizen Promaster Skyhawk I still have this on my right wrist coz I don't want to be without it. :)

Love video

I have a ray in sunburst blue. Top of the wishlist for me is a Steinhart ocean one vintage military with a ceramic finish

That is one beautiful watch.

I miss the old speedometers that looked like watch lume shots themselves. After the wars it was agreed that green was the least stressful colour at night but then collectively we all moved on to different speedo/tacho colours - red, orange and what not. Sigh!

Is there holes in your lume as well? Is the finishing on indicies showing not full lume? Mine is as a couple indicies.

Nice looking watch Stu, but, how about a vid on your leather jacket collection to go with the watch

Looks to be a really smart watch Will be interesting to hear your review

Wot great review! Do I sense a career change lol I think Ronin is a good name too stu lol

Bice watch! I like nice watches, especially when they are not badly priced. If I hadn't bought a new Moto Guzzi last week I would consider this for a X-mas gift to myself.

I just bought this Orient Kamasu. however, the limited edition. So, I finally have 2 Orient Kamasu limited edition 1gen and 2gen

Wearing mine now.

I have a tag 4000 watch unfortunately due to time the lume on the hands and face has lost all its luminosity, do you have anyone you could recommend to re-lume? Cheers.

I need this next time I go to the DEEP in Hull.

Hi! I'm new in watch collecting. I'm struggling to find out why there is a different shade on the bezel from 0-15. In this case on the video it is the red color part. I probably sound stupid.

My Ronin arrives shortly. Pepsi version!

You do watch reviews too ,orient makes some good watches

An Orient star diver would have suited you better. Preferably with Pepsi bezel.

Woah.....i came in looking for a watch review and a minute into the vid left me wondering why I was getting Royal Enfield vibes 😂

How is the hand winding? The Orient Mako’s are so tough to wind!

"Ronin" makes this watch better than it already is 👏🏽

Actually it is being called the Kamasu by the Seiko Epson representative in my region himself. Great review though!

Panerai had watches out sooner as they originally made diving equipment for the Italian navy and were tasked to make a watch for the Italian frogmen, was named the Radomir.

Rock climber, I will just check the time, o shit, Ahhhhhhhhhhh thump!

Coincidentally, JOMW channel has just released a review of the new Star classic dive watch.

I want this so bad

Nice watch! Bye Stuart 😊

I have an Orient Mako II and a Kanno. The Ronin looks like a great continuation of the basic Mako/Ray/Kamasu design. I really like the polished chamfer on the case, and that teal dial! In my opinion, there is no better value in an automatic dive watch. The spec Orient gives you for the money is unbeatable. Any time I have a friend express interest in getting their first automatic watch, Orient is nearly always what I recommend. You can keep the Seiko SKX - I’ll take a Kanno or a Citizen Fugu any day.

Is it worth the $100 premium over the kamasu? I think Orient named it the Kamasu 2

Is it little bigger than ray 2 or same size as well? I already have a blue ray 2 and i like it a lot. But this kamasu 2 with pepsi bezel is giving me the itch. Not sure if its gonna be worth to spend money and have 2 same watches.

My Orient manual says don't use on a motorcycle

Was that oriental music in the background? 🤪

Orient themselves named this along the Kamasu line.

It looks too much like the standard Mako/Ray/Kamasu, I wish they would fix that ugly bezel design. It's also a little bit small. I much prefer the Kano. But yes if those things don't bother you then its a great watch and a good value.

Size your writs? 🙏🏻

สวย สว่างดี

Is anyone else calling this version "Ronin"? As far as I can tell, Orient doesn't give any of its divers an "official" name. Rather, the watch community dubs each model then Orient sort of unofficially adopts the name that sticks.

Thanks for the review Stu. I’ve been into automatic watches for some time. I like the fact that Orient make their own movements and some of their designs are certainly future classics - the Bambino is certainly one of them. This particular model looks nicely finished with one glaring drawback, that bracelet. For the price I’d expect solid end links and a milled clasp. This one appears to be straight out of the Seiko parts bin - of course Orient are part of the Seiko group. At around this price point offerings from San Martin and Chronos are probably much better quality, I myself have a Phoebus Wavemaster which is an excellent dive watch.

600 700 pounds seems pricy for an Orient, the JDM kamasus. Where over £400 when they first came out but now you can buy a Kamasu for around 160 and a JDM Kamasu for around 200. For me I love the days in Japanese, especially with the red Dail. The only problem with Orient is its lack of after service parts, you can only buy a strap or bezel from Orient. They offer repair at Orient but it costs more than a new watch. Example the Beszel spring for my Kamasu broke, I contacted Orient USA (no Orient UK) and asked them if I could order a spare, they said no and I could only take it in for repair. I looked online but no official parts. Luckily they use the same spring as the SKX 120 click. Also I wish they would come out with a GMT diver or a 28,800bph for the Orient star. It's sad if you break a part you have to find a donor watch or replace it a lot of the time.

Oh no not another watch for me to consider..........!

A rider who knows the Orient. Is there any better KZfaq channel than this??

Reference number??

Ohhh my God.... Your accent is unbearable. ..!!!!

Try Phobos wavemaster and thank me later 👍
