The Orient Kano RA-AA0918S19B is the Asia “Big Wave” limited edition: white dial, black unidirectional bezel, and a high-contrast dive layout built for larger wrists. Orient ran this reference as a numbered run of 1,010 pieces. Under the mineral crystal sits the same dependable in-house F6922 automatic found across modern Orient sports watches — automatic winding, hand-wind, hacking seconds, day and date, and about 40 hours of reserve — inside a ~44 mm steel case rated to 200 metres.
Condition note: This watch is brand new and unworn. It was a jewellery-store display piece with the paper hang tag removed. Protective plastics remain intact and the watch is in pristine condition.
Why the Big Wave Kano stands out
- Limited Asia release — 1,010 pieces with the white-dial / black-bezel “Big Wave” theme (wave and sea-foam idea on a high-legibility dial).
- Proper diver architecture — unidirectional rotating bezel, screw-down crown, screw case back, luminous hands/markers, and 200 m water resistance.
- F6922 you can service in spirit of daily use — 22 jewels, 21,600 bph, hand-winding and hacking for precise time-setting.
- Sized for presence — case around 43.6–44 mm across, about 12.9–13 mm thick, ~50 mm lug-to-lug, 22 mm lug width on a steel bracelet.
- Straightforward tool aesthetic — white dial and black bezel stay legible outdoors and with casual or technical kit.
Who it suits
Pick the RA-AA0918S19B if you want a limited Orient diver design larger than a standard Mako/Kamasu, without stepping into premium Orient Star pricing. It favours medium-to-large wrists and anyone who likes a bright white dial against a black dive bezel. Prefer sapphire and a slightly smaller case? Look at Kamasu/Mako III lines; want this white Big Wave LE look and 200 m rating, this Kano is the match.

FAQ
What is the Orient Kano RA-AA0918S19B Big Wave limited edition?
It is an Asia-market limited Kano diver design with a white dial and black bezel, produced in 1,010 pieces. The “Big Wave” theme pairs a bright dial with a black unidirectional bezel on a full steel sports package.
What movement does the RA-AA0918S19B use?
Orient’s in-house F6922 automatic: 22 jewels, 21,600 bph, roughly 40-hour power reserve, hand-winding, and hacking seconds. Day and date sit at 3 o’clock.
What is the water resistance of the Orient Kano Big Wave?
200 metres (20 bar), with a screw-down crown and screw case back. That is suitable for swimming and recreational diving when the crown is locked down — still rinse after salt water and avoid operating the crown underwater.
Does the RA-AA0918S19B have a sapphire crystal?
No. Like most entry-level Orient Kano divers, it uses a mineral crystal. The trade-off is typical for this tier; the rest of the package focuses on size, 200 m rating, and the F6922 movement.
How does the Kano compare to the Orient Kamasu or Mako?
Kano is the larger diver-oriented sibling (around 44 mm vs the more common ~42 mm Kamasu/Mako III class). Many Kamasu models use sapphire; this Kano Big Wave uses mineral glass but offers the limited white/black colourway, 200 m rating, and a bigger wrist presence.
Where can I buy the Orient Kano RA-AA0918S19B in Australia?
This limited RA-AA0918S19B is available from Chronospride with Australian shipping. Authentic stock, inspected before dispatch, free shipping on eligible orders, and Chronospride’s 12 months warranty handled by our team.
