Steal Alert: The Orient Kamasu Dive Watch for $180

DROP: Orient Kamasu RA-AA0001B19B – $179 FINAL ($280)

So Massdrop (sorry, DROP) continues to call these things the “Mako III” as well as sells two distinctly different models, on the same product page, under the same (wrong) model name.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s the bad/confusing news. The GOOD news is that model #RA-AA0001B19B is the black version of the Kamasu Baracuda diver. And that particular watch, is terrific.

Normally $280ish direct through Orient or a little less at various third party retailers, the Kamasu is Orient’s toothier looking diver. Still 200m water resistance. Still has an in-house automatic movement (of course). Still comes with a sapphire crystal. Movement hacks and hand winds too.

Sizing is a welcome by many medium diameter at 41.8mm. More of a classic, and less of a 21st century dinner plate. Lugs are 22mm. Full review can be found here.

It’s DROP, so, all sales are final. Orders ship in a couple weeks, around August 20th. I THINK there are some other colors available at checkout? I don’t think green is available though (shown at the top of the post). Just be careful with which model number you select. #RA-AA0001B19B SHOULD be black. And I think (think) RA-AA0002L19B is the blue Kamasu? Probably? Sheesh Massdrop. Way to make this difficult.

That’s all. Carry on.
