The Orient Mako 40 (RA-AC0Q03S family, store SKU RA-AC0Q3S30B) is Orient’s compact diver-style automatic: a white dial, sapphire crystal, 200 m water resistance and a full steel bracelet in a case that measures just 39.9 mm across. It is aimed at wrists that found the older ~42 mm Mako and Kamasu lines a step too large, without giving up real sports-watch hardware.
If you are comparing orient mako and orient mako 40 options in Australia, this white-dial reference is the clean, high-legibility everyday pick — office-friendly dial, dive-watch construction underneath.
Why the Mako 40 white dial works
- True compact diver proportions — 39.9 mm width, about 46.5 mm lug-to-lug and roughly 12.8 mm thick, so it sits closer to modern “wearable sports” sizing.
- Sapphire crystal — better scratch resistance than mineral glass on many dress Orients.
- 200 m water resistance — screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel for swimming and recreational water use (always check seals and follow common-sense WR practice).
- In-house F6722 automatic — hand-winding, hacking and around 40 hours of power reserve; date display for daily use.
- White dial + steel bracelet — bright, versatile look that pairs with casual and smart-casual outfits.
Design and daily use
The white dial keeps indices and hands easy to read, with lume on hands and markers for low light. A unidirectional rotating bezel handles elapsed-time timing in the usual dive-watch way. The bracelet uses a fold-over clasp with safety, and the 20 mm lug width leaves room for NATO or leather straps later if you want a different look.
Compared with the larger Kamasu / Mako III (~41.8 mm) line, the Mako 40 trades a little wrist presence for easier wear under cuffs and on smaller wrists. It still feels like a proper sports Orient — steel, sapphire, 20 bar — not a fashion diver.
Movement: Orient F6722
Caliber F6722 is Orient’s in-house automatic for this compact diver family: self-winding, hand-windable and hacking, with about 40 hours of power reserve and 22 jewels. It is closely related in role to the F6922 used in larger sports models, typically with a date rather than a full day-date stack. Accuracy is mechanical-watch normal; regulate expectations accordingly and enjoy the hand-wind when it has sat on a desk overnight.

Mako 40 vs larger Orient divers
Pick the Mako 40 when case size is the priority and you still want sapphire and 200 m WR. Pick a Kamasu / Mako III style watch when you want a larger dial presence and the F6922 day-date sports package. Both are Japanese automatic sports watches; the difference is mainly size and dial architecture, not “toy vs tool.”

Does the Mako 40 have a sapphire crystal?

Is the Orient Mako 40 good for swimming?
