Celebrated worldwide among horology purists, recreational scuba divers, and mechanical tool watch collectors by its legendary series nicknames—the \"Mako II\", \"Mako 2\", \"Pepsi Mako\", \"Automatic Diver\", \"Pepsi Diver\", or \"Blue Mako\"—this 41.5mm watch represents one of the most acclaimed and versatile value propositions in modern diver watchmaking. It pairs a robust solid stainless steel round case with a 120-click unidirectional rotating diver bezel featuring a vibrant red and blue \"Pepsi\" elapsed-time aluminum insert, a radiant deep sunray blue dial, signature Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9 o'clock, faceted luminous baton hour indices, muscular sword hands, an energetic red-accented sweep seconds hand, a synchronized day-date calendar display at 3 o'clock, an upgraded in-house Japanese mechanical movement with hand-winding and hacking capabilities, a screw-down crown and caseback, a certified 200-meter diver-grade water resistance rating, and a solid stainless steel construction. Perfectly calibrated for gentlemen seeking an authentic, dependable mechanical dive watch that transitions effortlessly from deep marine explorations to smart-casual urban wear. The defining visual highlight of this TAA02009D9 reference is its charismatic maritime dial and bezel color combination. The dial face is finished in a rich, shimmering sunburst royal blue that comes alive under natural sunlight, shifting dynamically between midnight navy and brilliant ocean blue. Setting the Mako apart from other dive instruments is its distinctive dial architecture, anchored by bold, applied polished Arabic numerals at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, complemented by faceted trapezoidal baton markers at the remaining hours. Each index is generously filled with Orient's high-potency luminescent compound, ensuring immediate, radiant glow and instantaneous legibility in dark aquatic environments. Polished sword-style hour and minute hands glide effortlessly over the dial, accompanied by a high-contrast white seconds hand finished with a vivid red-accented arrow tip for precise seconds tracking. Positioned neatly at 3 o'clock is a cleanly framed dual calendar aperture displaying both the day of the week and the date. Surrounding the dial is the celebrated \"Pepsi\" anodized aluminum bezel insert—featuring a dynamic crimson-red 0-to-10 minute elapsed timing scale contrasting against rich navy blue—with a luminescent zero-marker triangle pip at 12 o'clock. Protected by a scratch-resistant flat mineral crystal and flanked by integrated case crown guards, the watch delivers a commanding, sporty, and timeless maritime wrist presence. Beneath its rugged exterior, the watch is powered by Orient’s upgraded in-house Caliber F6922 mechanical automatic movement, entirely designed, developed, and manufactured in Japan. Engineered to deliver exceptional mechanical performance and tool-watch reliability, this 22-jewel caliber beats at a steady frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz). The movement incorporates a high-efficiency bi-directional oscillating rotor that automatically winds the mainspring with the wearer's wrist motion, delivering an autonomous power reserve of over 40 hours on a full wind. Upgraded directly over the first-generation Mako caliber, the F6922 incorporates manual hand-winding capability through the main crown as well as a second-hand hacking mechanism, enabling synchronized down-to-the-second time setting. The movement coordinates central three-hand timekeeping (hours, minutes, sweep seconds) alongside a quickset synchronized bilingual day and date calendar mechanism, operating within a factory-calibrated accuracy tolerance of +25 to -15 seconds per day. The case is engineered with versatile, ergonomic sports diver proportions, measuring an official 41.5mm in case diameter (excluding the crown) with a case thickness of 13.0mm, a compact 47.0mm lug-to-lug distance, and a standard 22mm lug width, ensuring a balanced, centered, and comfortable fit on a wide range of wrist sizes. The solid stainless steel case combines fine circular satin brushing across the top lug hoods with mirror-polished flanks. Unlike earlier generations that required a secondary pusher at 2 o'clock, the Mako II streamlines case architecture by consolidating all time, day, and date adjustments into a single heavy-duty screw-down crown at 3 o'clock, flanked by protective case shoulders. The solid stainless steel screw-down caseback is deeply stamped with Orient’s heritage twin-dolphin crest. Engineered for serious marine environments, the case provides a certified 200-meter (20 bar \/ 20 ATM \/ 660 ft) water resistance rating, making it fully equipped for swimming, snorkeling, high-impact water sports, and recreational scuba diving. The timepiece comes completed on an integrated solid stainless steel construction featuring brushed link surfaces and polished edges, secured by a solid fold-over deployment clasp with a dual push-button safety release and fold-over security latch engraved with the Orient crest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MonaWatch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54119152288058,"sku":"TAA02009D9","price":1115.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5858\/3354\/files\/NewProject_9f9bdcac-39a7-4eea-b10e-d787127390ca.webp?v=1790224615","url":"https:\/\/www.monawatch.com\/products\/orient-sports-mako-ii-pepsi-taa02009d9-mens-watch","provider":"MonaWatch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
