Orient Ray II Automatic Power Reserve 200M FAA02005D9 Men’s Watch
Although deep sea diving is not my idea of adventure, I love the sturdy dive watches that usually form an essential part of diving gear. Dive watches are clear and readable with large markers and water resistant to great depths. Some of the dive watches out there are easily beyond the budget of the average person although, some famous watch brands make them in a very affordable price range.
Take for instance the Orient Ray II Automatic Power Reserve 200M FAA02005D9 Men’s Watch – it has earned the title of being the most affordable luxury dive watch. From the several reviews I read online, the Orient Ray II Automatic Power Reserve FAA02005D9 is a reliable, durable and extremely affordable timepiece that would go well with either a dive suit or a business suit. It is an upgrade on the older version of the Orient Mako.
I had set my sights on this extremely popular and affordable Orient watch. Several searches later I found it being sold at a huge discount of more than 50% here athttps://www.downunderwatches.com/products/orient-ray-ii-automatic-power-reserve-200m-faa02005d9-mens-watchGreat, this was just what I was looking for. The Orient Ray II Automatic is an impressive watch by any standards. It gives a solid feel being completely stainless steel right from the case to the bracelet.
This model comes in two variations, one with the black dial and the other with a blue. I loved the blue sun-burst effect dial, it is a rich and pleasing colour with the large hour markers and sword-like hands. The watch has been actually built to function under depths of the sea. All markers and hands are filled with luminous paint, so as to enhance the readability of the watch in dark deep waters. A ratcheted uni-directional bezel further defines this dive watch.
What I like about Orient watches is that they are built in-house. The Orient FAA02005D9 has a Japanese Automatic movement that allows manual winding and hacking. It features a mineral crystal and 40 hours power reserve. As far as the pricing is concerned, the Orient Ray II Automatic Power Reserve 200M FAA02005D9 Men’s Watch is an affordable timepiece with all the fancy features other expensive watches offer.
With a huge discount, Downunderwatches.com has made this watch even more attractive in terms of price. My Orient Ray II arrived in a couple of days. Opening the package, I was thrilled to see that the timepiece looks even better than in the pictures put up by the site. It looked cool, classy, sophisticated all at once which is rarely the case with other watch brands.

In response to your request for a review on my purchase from DOWNUNDERWATCHES I can say the following, I address myself for this particular watches to DOWNUNDERWATCHES since they claim to be Australia's premier online watches store. This particular model is not available in store in Australia, not that I know off, therefore the advertised Australia's premier online watch store induce me to believe that the item was available in Australia but only from online orders. It turn out not to be so but from Singapore apparently. So, the claim that delivery is made within three days turn out to be three weeks. This detail should be indicated clearly to people in Australia. Other than that the delivery was made by DHL and the watch received in good condition some ten days latter. The watch is exactly as I expected it would be, well packaged, no complaint whatsoever to make about it. It would be better for the retailer to indicate that the delivery to Australia will required two weeks instead of saying next to day of dispatching leaving the impression that the goods is from an Australian distributor which physically it is not. Orient watches are not well represented in Australia by retailers if not at all. Seiko dominates the market amongst other brand. Orient is no more made in Japan as it was in the past, the factory with the name Epson is now in Thailand, the product is still of high quality and genuine as it has been expected from the original manufacturer in previous years from Japan. Epson has absorbed the brand name Orient which remains nevertheless a high quality product originally exclusively from Japan. Orient watches are of high quality until today.
Hi Patrice,

The watch was as good as I expected, being refurbished and works accurately with minor blemishes. "Downunderwatches" is Singapore based, so I was surprised to have to pay additional fees for the foreign import.
