The Orient Ray Diver dive watch is represented in our range by the Ray Vintage men's models. Automatic movement, 200 metres of water resistance – it brings the mood of old dive watches together with a present-day Orient movement. Ray models not listed in the category can be sourced to order. We are an official Orient dealer, and the watches arrive at your door with the manufacturer warranty.
What is the Orient Ray, and how is it related to the Mako?
The Ray and the Mako are two of Orient's dive watches that run in parallel: similar size, similar capability, with the difference mainly in the dial and hands. Within that, the Ray Vintage represents the retro direction – warmer tones and shapes recalling old dive watches. People looking for the Ray 2 usually love this character in it.
Who is the Ray Vintage for?
- Someone who wants a dive watch but doesn't want a "factory modern" look.
- For everyday wear: 200 metres of water resistance handles swimming and the beach too.
- Collectors who already own a Mako and are looking for a sibling model to go with it.
Ray or Mako – which should you buy?
If a wider selection matters, the Mako dive watches are offered in several sizes and a solar version. The Ray is the right call if this vintage style is exactly what caught your eye. You can see the whole brand on the Orient watches page.
How to choose a Ray Diver online
The case size of the Ray is similar to the Mako's and looks proportionate on most men's wrists; measure your wrist circumference and check the lug-to-lug distance on the product page too. Our own watch service will remove links from the metal bracelet. Keep the crown screwed down in the water, and if you swim with it regularly, have the seals checked every year.
