The Orient Mako II FAA02001B is the black Arabic-dial Mako II on a steel bracelet. It is the same watch as catalogue code FAA02001B9 and current US code TAA02001B9. Store SKU on this page stays FAA02001B. If you want the orange index dial, that is the Ray II FAA02006M9, not this Mako.
The listing photos show a black dial with white Arabic numerals at 12, 6 and 9, and bar indexes on the other hours. Hands are silver-tone. The seconds hand has a red tip. A day-and-date window sits at 3, with the day disc on a red ground in these frames. The dial prints Orient Automatic and Water Resist 200m.
The bezel is a black minute insert with a luminous pip at 12. Orient lists a 120-click unidirectional bezel and a screw-down crown. The case and bracelet are stainless steel. The US sheet lists a foldover clasp with a safety. These two gallery frames are dial views only. There is no case-back photo on this page, so no engraving is described.
Calibre and case
The movement is Orient calibre F6922. It winds from the wrist, can be hand-wound, and hacks: the seconds hand stops while you set the time. That is the Mako II change from the older 46943, which had a day-date pusher at 2 and did not hack. Power reserve is about 40 hours. Jewel count on the matching F6922 sheet is 22. A marketplace listing that says 24 jewels, or 41 mm, is not used here.
Orient USA lists the case as 41.5 mm wide, 13 mm thick, 47 mm lug-to-lug, and 22 mm between the lugs. Crystal is mineral, not sapphire. Water resistance is 200 m. No weight is published. One shop sheet lists a shipping-style weight that is not a watch weight, so it is left out.
How it wears
At 41.5 mm with a 47 mm lug-to-lug, this sits as a medium diver. The 22 mm steel bracelet is the strap in both photos. The Arabic 12, 6 and 9 are the easy way to tell a Mako II from a Ray II, which uses a triangle and circles instead of those numerals. The red-tipped seconds hand is on this black dial. It is not the ion-plated Ray Raven, and it is not a sapphire Kamasu.
Use it as an everyday steel diver and for swimming or skin diving with the crown screwed down. It is not sold here as an ISO-certified saturation tool. The bezel is a minute timer.
Compare it with other Orient divers, or browse Orient watches if you want a dress watch instead of a diver.

Questions buyers ask
What movement does the Orient Mako II FAA02001B use?
Calibre F6922. Automatic, hand-winding, and hacking, with about 40 hours of power reserve. It replaced the 46943 used in the first Mako, and it does not need a second crown at 2 o’clock.
Does the FAA02001B have Arabic numerals?
Yes. The photos show white Arabic numerals at 12, 6 and 9, with bar indexes on the other hours, a red-tipped seconds hand, and day-date at 3. That is the Mako II face, not the Ray II index dial.
What size is the Mako II FAA02001B?
Orient lists 41.5 mm across, 13 mm thick, 47 mm lug-to-lug, and 22 mm lug width. Do not use a 41 mm or 20 mm band figure from a marketplace row. The crystal is mineral.
How water resistant is the FAA02001B?
200 metres, with a screw-down crown. Suitable for swimming and skin diving when the crown is screwed down. The dial prints Water Resist 200m. It is not described here as an ISO diver certificate.
Is FAA02001B the same watch as FAA02001B9?
Yes. FAA02001B, FAA02001B9, and US code TAA02001B9 are the black Arabic Mako II on a steel bracelet. This page uses the store SKU FAA02001B. Specs above are for that reference, not for a blue dial or a rubber-strap sibling.
