Orient Kamasu “Kinme” Men’s Automatic Watch RA-AA0826Y (41.8 mm, Vivid Orange Dial, Sapphire Crystal, 200 m Diver, SUS316L Stainless Steel)

The Spirit of “Kinme” (金目 - The Fire of the Deep Waters)

Orient’s legendary diving lineage adopts the nickname “Kinme”, inspired by the iconic Kinmedai (金目鯛—golden-eyed sea bream or Japanese alfonsino), a coveted creature that inhabits the rocky depths off the Japanese coast (between 200 and 800 meters). Famous for its fiery reddish-orange skin and piercing golden eyes capable of reflecting even the faintest glimmer in the abyssal darkness, this fish symbolizes vitality, good fortune, and resilience in the most hostile environments. The striking orange dial of this model pays homage to that vivid and magnetic coloration—a hue historically revered by divers as the color offering maximum visibility and contrast underwater. Combined with the aggressive, fang-shaped hour markers of the Kamasu (barracuda) series, the “Kinme” embodies an untamed and vibrant presence on the wrist.

Key Selling Points

• High-Visibility Orange Diver Icon Dial: Orange is the quintessential classic color in the history of dive watches due to its easy readability in low-light conditions or murky waters. The “Kinme” dial adds character, dynamism, and a bold touch whether you’re at the beach or wearing casual everyday attire.
• Flat Sapphire Crystal: Forget about scratches caused by accidental contact, keys, or beach sand. The sapphire crystal guarantees impeccable optical clarity for years to come.
• SUS316L Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Bracelet: A higher concentration of nickel and molybdenum shields the watch against corrosion from sea salt, acidic sweat, or pool chlorine, preventing pitting in the metal.
• Ergonomic Wrist Geometry (46.8 mm lug-to-lug): Despite its substantial width of 41.8 mm, the modest length of its lugs allows the watch to lie flat and conform anatomically to wrists of all sizes without protruding beyond the edges.
• JIS Type 1 Magnetic Shielding: The mechanical movement is protected against electromagnetic fields of up to 4,800 A/m, preventing common electronic devices (smartphones, speakers, or tablet cases) from affecting its timekeeping accuracy.
• Water-Resistant to 200 Meters (20 ATM): Supported by a screw-down crown with side guards and a screw-down solid case back, ensuring a fully watertight seal for high-impact water sports.
