The Orient Mako II FAA02009D9 is a blue-dial dive-style automatic with a red-and-blue Pepsi bezel. It is the middle Mako, after the first generation and before the sapphire Kamasu / Mako III. If you want this exact Pepsi insert and the F6922 movement in a 41.5 mm case, this is the reference. It is not a Kanno, and it is not a later Kamasu wearing an older model name.
On the wrist it reads as a compact sports watch rather than a large modern diver. The case is 41.5 mm across and about 13 mm thick, with 22 mm lugs and a steel bracelet. That is a comfortable daily size if you want a Pepsi bezel without stepping up to a 42 mm-class case.
Dial, bezel, and bracelet
The dial is blue. Silver-tone hour and minute hands sit over Arabic numerals at 12, 9, and 6, with applied indexes on the other hours. The seconds hand has a red tip. Day and date share one window at 3, so there is no numeral there. The dial is printed Water Resist 200m, under the Orient Automatic logo.
The bezel is a unidirectional steel timer. On the listing photos, red covers about the first 20 minutes and blue covers the rest of the scale. Some later Pepsi divers reverse that split. Follow these photos, not a generic Pepsi description.
The bracelet is stainless steel, with a fold-over clasp and a safety release. The crown is screw-down. The case back is solid, not a display back. One gallery frame is that case back and the clasp, not a side view of the dial.
Movement and water resistance
Inside is Orient calibre F6922: automatic, with hand-winding and a hacking seconds stop, 22 jewels, and about 40 hours of power reserve. Hacking and hand-winding were not on the first Mako, which used a different calibre. Do not copy 469-series specs, or a Kamasu sapphire spec, onto this page.
Orient rates the FAA02009D9 to 200 metres. That is swimming and snorkelling territory if the crown is screwed down, not a professional saturation tool. Rinse it after salt water. The crystal is mineral. That is the Mako II spec, and it is the clearest way to tell this watch from a Kamasu.

Those case figures come from retailer sheets that match the dial photos, including a 41.5 mm by 13 mm listing, and they match the 41.5 mm case-size attribute already on this page. A few marketplace rows say 42 mm. We keep 41.5 mm. Lug-to-lug is not on those sheets, so we do not publish one. We also do not publish a weight. A shipping weight is not the watch.
Who it suits
Buy this if you want the Mako II Pepsi specifically: blue dial, red-and-blue bezel, mineral crystal, 41.5 mm, steel bracelet. Skip it if you need sapphire, or if you thought you were ordering a Kamasu. The later Kamasu is a different case, usually 41.8 mm, with a sapphire crystal. Browse the Orient diver watches if you want to compare what is actually on the shelf.
This reference is out of stock at the moment. The description stays specific to the FAA02009D9 so a later restock does not mix it up with a Kamasu or a Kanno.
Frequently asked questions
What movement does the Orient Mako II FAA02009D9 use?
Orient calibre F6922. It winds from the wrist, and you can also hand-wind it. The seconds hand stops when you pull the crown out, which makes setting the time easier. Power reserve is about 40 hours, with 22 jewels. It is not the calibre used in the first Mako.
What is the water resistance of the FAA02009D9?
200 metres. The dial is printed Water Resist 200m, and the crown is screw-down. Screw the crown down before it goes in the water. It is fine for swimming. It is not a tool for deep commercial diving.
Is the Mako II Pepsi sapphire?
No. The crystal is mineral. Sapphire is a Kamasu / Mako III feature. If another page calls the FAA02009D9 sapphire, it has mixed two generations.
How big is the Orient Mako II FAA02009D9?
41.5 mm across and about 13 mm thick, with 22 mm between the lugs. The bracelet is steel. We do not publish a lug-to-lug figure, because the maker sheet we used does not list one. Ignore 42 mm rows that do not match the 41.5 mm photos and the attribute on this page.
Is the FAA02009D9 the same as a Kamasu or a Kanno?
No. Kamasu and Mako III are the next case, with sapphire crystal. The Kanno is a different diver. This page is only the Mako II FAA02009D9.
Where was the Orient Mako II FAA02009D9 made?
Orient is a Japanese brand. The case back of the unit supplied shows where that unit was made.
