Product Information

Full details

The Orient Mako Vintage Day-Date Automatic is designed for watch enthusiasts who appreciate the convenience of a self-winding mechanical movement combined with a sophisticated, professional aesthetic. It serves as an ideal daily driver for those who value heritage-inspired watchmaking and reliable Japanese craftsmanship; however, potential owners should note that because it is an automatic movement, it requires daily wear or a watch winder to remain powered without manual intervention.

What is the case diameter?

How long will the watch run if I take it off?

Depending on the specific movement state, most automatic watches hold a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.

How do I change the date?

Pull the crown out to the first position and rotate it to advance the day and date wheels.

Is the watch suitable for formal events?

Troubleshooting

The watch stopped running

Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times or wear it consistently for several hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable Japanese automatic movement
  • No battery changes required
  • Sophisticated vintage styling
  • Legible day-date display
  • Robust 42mm stainless steel construction

Cons

  • Requires regular wear to stay wound
  • 50m water resistance is not suitable for swimming or diving

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time and date, pull the crown to the first position to adjust the calendar and the second position to set the hands. Always ensure the crown is pushed back in completely after adjustments to maintain its water resistance. For care, wipe the case and bracelet periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sweat or oils. While the watch is water-resistant to 50 meters, avoid exposing the leather or metal components to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures. It is recommended to have the movement serviced by a professional watchmaker every 3 to 5 years to ensure long-term accuracy and lubricant health.
