Orient’s latest release, the Mako 40 Mechanical Sports Watch, is one of the hot new Orient watch releases this year. Not with the recent trend for men's watches leaning towards smaller case sizes in recent years, this watch with its 39.9mm (commonly called 40mm) case size showing only date, as well as a simple dial calendar, and 20mm lug, makes it right on trend.

Their modern design and smaller case size makes it feel less bulky than larger diver-style watches like its predecessor of 41.8mm, yet it is still large enough to make a statement. The 20mm lug width provides an array of strap options too, allowing the owner to change up the look easily.
