The Orient Mako XL FEM75005R9 is the larger cream-dial Mako from the older FEM generation. It is not a Kamasu, not a Mako III, and not the later 41.8 mm automatic diver. The case is 44.5 mm, the crystal is mineral, and the movement is Orient calibre 46943.
The dial is cream, sometimes listed as antique white. Applied silver indices and silver-tone hands carry lume. A black unidirectional bezel has white numerals at the ten-minute marks. At 3 o’clock a day-and-date window shows the weekday and the date together. The front view prints Water Resist 200m under the hands. There is no power-reserve hand and no chronograph.
Case and bracelet
The case is stainless steel, 44.5 mm across and 13.3 mm thick, with a screw-down crown at 4. Lug width is 22 mm, matching the steel bracelet. The clasp is a fold-over with push buttons and a safety latch, and the Orient name is on the clasp in the gallery. The case back is a solid screw back. One frame in this set has a retailer watermark on the crystal. It is the same cream dial, not a different reference.
Calibre 46943 is an automatic with 21 jewels, running at 21,600 vibrations an hour, and a power reserve of about 40 hours. It is not the later F6922 used in the Kamasu, and the crystal on this generation is mineral, not sapphire.
Water resistance is 200 metres with the crown screwed down. That is enough for swimming. This is an older sports diver in the Mako XL line, not a current-catalogue Kamasu, and not a watch we should describe with the specs of the 41.8 mm sapphire models.

Questions buyers ask
Is the FEM75005R9 a Kamasu or a Mako III?
No. Kamasu and Mako III are the later 41.8 mm divers, usually with sapphire and calibre F6922. FEM75005R9 is the earlier Mako XL: 44.5 mm, mineral crystal, calibre 46943, cream dial.
What movement does the Orient Mako XL FEM75005R9 use?
Orient calibre 46943. It is automatic, with 21 jewels and about 40 hours of power reserve. It is not F6922, not F6724, and not a solar movement.
Is the crystal sapphire?
No. Retailer sheets for this reference list mineral crystal, and the older Mako XL was sold that way. Do not expect the sapphire crystal used on the current Kamasu.
What size is the Mako XL FEM75005R9?
44.5 mm across and 13.3 mm thick, with 22 mm lugs. One shop sheet has listed 45 mm. The figure that matches the other sheets, and the size stored on this product, is 44.5 mm. A lug-to-lug measurement is not on those sheets, so it is not printed here.
What colour is the dial?
Cream, with silver-tone hands and indices, a black bezel, and a day-date window at 3. Some listings call the same dial antique white. The photos on this page are the cream face, not a black Mako XL.
Where was the Mako XL FEM75005R9 made?
Orient is a Japanese brand. The dial in these photos carries an older movement line. Do not read that line as the origin of the unit. The case-back photo is not clear enough to read an engraving. The case back of the unit supplied shows where it was made.
Where can I buy the Orient Mako XL FEM75005R9 in Australia?
