The Orient Mako III RA-AA0006L19B is the blue diver from the Kamasu generation, fitted on a black rubber strap. Orient also sold this case as the Kamasu. It is not a later bracelet Kamasu, and it is not a 40 mm watch. The reference uses calibre F6922, a sapphire crystal, and 200 m water resistance.
Choose it if you want the Mako III dial and bezel without a steel bracelet. The rubber strap and pin buckle keep it lighter on the wrist and easier to rinse after the beach. Chronospride lists this reference. Availability follows the stock status on this page, not an old dispatch promise.
What you actually get
- Blue Mako III dial. Triangle at 12, rectangular luminous markers, silver hands, and a red-tipped seconds hand. Day and date sit at 3. The day text is red in the listing photos. The dial reads Water Resist 20 bar.
- Dive bezel, not a GMT bezel. Blue insert, minute scale, pip at 12, unidirectional. Steel case with a screw-down crown and crown guards.
- Calibre F6922. Automatic and hand-winding, 22 jewels, about 40 hours of power reserve, and a stated rate of +25 to −15 seconds a day on the sheet for this reference.
- Rubber, not a bracelet. Black silicone dive strap, 22 mm, pin buckle. The clasp photo shows the Orient mark on the keeper.
- Solid case back. The gallery case back is a screw back with the Orient logo, a 20 bar line, and an Epson mark. It is not an exhibition back.
Who it suits
Buyers comparing an Orient Mako III or Kamasu in Australia who prefer rubber to steel. It is a straightforward 200 m sports watch: day, date, and a unidirectional bezel. It is the wrong page if you want the steel-bracelet Kamasu, a dress Bambino, or a current-production catalogue code in the RA-AA081 series. Those later references are a different listing.

Diameter, crystal, calibre, strap, and water resistance agree across the Hourglass sheet for RA-AA0006L19B, Jomashop, and the listing photos. A marketplace listing has called the crystal mineral and the case 42 mm. That does not match the sheets or the photos we are using. We are not publishing a lug-to-lug or a weight, because the sheet for this reference does not give one we can stand behind.
Origin
Orient is a Japanese brand. RA-AA0006L19B is an earlier Mako III reference, not the current bracelet Kamasu line. The dial photo prints a small movement-origin line. That line is not a case-origin stamp. The gallery case back shows an Epson mark. The case back of the unit supplied shows where that unit was made.

Frequently asked questions
What movement does the Orient Mako III RA-AA0006L19B use?
Orient calibre F6922. It is an automatic movement with hand-winding, 22 jewels, and about 40 hours of power reserve. The sheet for this reference lists a rate of +25 to −15 seconds a day. It is not a quartz watch, and it is not the later GMT calibre used in the Mako GMT.
Is the RA-AA0006L19B the same watch as the Orient Kamasu?
It is the same generation. Kamasu is the name Orient used for this Mako III case, and RA-AA0006L19B is the blue rubber-strap reference. Later Kamasu listings, including many RA-AA081 codes, are the bracelet versions of that idea. Do not expect a steel bracelet, a gold-tone bezel, or a limited-edition case back on this page.
What is the water resistance of the RA-AA0006L19B?
200 metres, or 20 bar. The dial reads Water Resist 20 bar, and the case-back photo is engraved 20 bar. The crown is screw-down. That is enough for swimming and snorkelling. Rinse it after salt water, and do not operate the crown while it is wet.
Does this Mako III come on a steel bracelet?
No. This reference is the black rubber strap with a pin buckle, 22 mm at the lugs. The listing photos, including the clasp and case back, show that strap. If you want the steel-bracelet Kamasu, you need a different reference.
What size is the Orient Mako III RA-AA0006L19B?
41.8 mm across, not 40 mm. Hourglass lists 41.8 mm by 12.8 mm for this reference. Jomashop also lists 41.8 mm, with thickness around 13 mm. Lug width is 22 mm. We are not publishing a lug-to-lug, because that figure is not on the sheet we are using for this SKU.
Is the crystal sapphire?
Yes. The specification sheets for RA-AA0006L19B list a sapphire crystal. Ignore older marketplace lines that call it mineral glass. The bezel insert is the blue dive ring you can see in the photos, not a sapphire bezel.
Where was the Orient Mako III RA-AA0006L19B made?
Orient is a Japanese brand. This is an earlier Mako III reference, not a current bracelet Kamasu. The dial photo includes a small movement-origin line, which is not the same thing as a case-origin stamp. The gallery case back carries an Epson mark. The case back of the unit supplied shows where that unit was made.
