The Orient Ray II FAA02006M9 is the orange-dial Ray II, not the black ion-plated Ray Raven and not an Arabic-numeral Mako. Store code FAA02006M9. Catalogues also use AA02006M and the current US code TAA02006M9. It is a stainless steel diver-style automatic for someone who wants a bright dial that is still readable at a glance, with a black minute bezel and a steel bracelet.
On the listing photos the dial is orange. Hour markers are applied indexes: a triangle at 12, a bar at 6 and at 9, and round markers on the other hours. There is no 12, 6 or 9 numeral on this face. Orient’s US product blurb for TAA02006M9 says Arabic numerals. That line does not match these photos, so this page follows the photos. Hands are silver-tone with black outlines and lume plots. The seconds hand is not red-tipped. A day-and-date window sits at 3. Printed text you can read on the dial is Orient Automatic and Water Resist 200m. A small movement line near 6 is visible on some frames. It is not quoted here.
The bezel is a black insert with a minute scale and a luminous pip at 12. Orient lists it as a 120-click unidirectional bezel. The crown is a screw-down crown at 3, with no crown guards in the side photo. The case and bracelet are stainless steel. The clasp photo is a foldover clasp with the Orient mark, and the US sheet lists a foldover clasp with a safety. Bracelet links in the gallery are brushed on the outer faces with polished centre links.
Calibre and case
The movement is Orient calibre F6922: automatic, hand-winding, and hacking, so the seconds hand stops while you set the time. Power reserve is about 40 hours. This listing’s calibre attribute is 22 jewels. The crystal is mineral, not sapphire. A retailer sheet that calls this reference sapphire, or that lists a 44 mm case, does not match Orient’s sheet or these photos.
Orient USA lists the case as 41.5 mm wide, 13 mm thick, 47 mm lug-to-lug, and 22 mm between the lugs, water resistant to 200 m. An older line on this page said 12.5 mm thick. That figure is not used here. No weight is published. Two retailer weights do not agree, and Orient’s sheet for this code does not give one.
The case-back photo has a centre sticker over the engraving, so that engraving is not described. The lume frame shows the triangle, bars, round markers, and the hour and minute hands. It is a practical night view, not a dive-instrument certificate.
How it wears
At 41.5 mm with a 47 mm lug-to-lug, this is a medium diver, not a large Turtle-style case. The 22 mm lugs take the fitted steel bracelet. The orange dial is the reason to pick this code over the black Ray II FAA02004B9 or the blue FAA02005D9. Those share the same AA02 case. This one does not share the Raven’s black ion-plated finish. Raven is FAA02003B9.
Water resistance is 200 m with a screw-down crown. That covers swimming and skin diving if the crown is screwed down. It is not sold here as an ISO-certified saturation diver. The bezel is a minute timer, not a 24-hour GMT scale.
Shop other Orient divers or the wider Orient watches range if you want a black dial, a blue dial, or a Mako with Arabic numerals instead.

Questions buyers ask
What movement is in the Orient Ray II FAA02006M9?
Calibre F6922. It is an automatic that can also be hand-wound, with hacking seconds and about 40 hours of power reserve. It is not quartz, and it is not the older 46943 used in the first Mako generation.
Does the FAA02006M9 have Arabic numerals?
No. The photos show a triangle at 12, bars at 6 and 9, and round markers on the other hours. A US catalogue line that says Arabic numerals does not match this dial. The black Arabic diver in the same family is the Mako II, not this Ray II.
What size is the Orient Ray II FAA02006M9?
Orient lists 41.5 mm across, 13 mm thick, 47 mm lug-to-lug, and 22 mm lug width. The older 12.5 mm thickness on this page was wrong. Do not use a 44 mm figure from a third-party sheet.
How water resistant is the FAA02006M9?
200 metres, with a screw-down crown. Fine for swimming and skin diving when the crown is screwed down. It is not described here as an ISO diver rating. The dial prints Water Resist 200m.
Is the FAA02006M9 the Ray Raven?
No. Ray Raven II is the black ion-plated FAA02003B9. FAA02006M9 is the stainless steel Ray II with an orange dial and a black minute bezel. The old focus text on this page that said Raven was the wrong model.
