Best quality and looks for casual diver watch at this price
This is an amazing watch at an amazing price by any standard. Simple, clean dial with the best shade orange dial of pretty much all its peers, including a nice coral tinge on the hands. That's what drew me in on the photos before purchase, and in real life doesn't disappoint. If the markers were a hint larger I might give it a 5 for legibility, but that's my preference and distracts not a bit from the beauty of this timepiece. The green lume lasts all night but not strongly, still great for this level watch.The quality, fit and finish is very good. The fact that it's hand winding and hackable is awesome, and I don't mind the mineral crystal knowing that sapphire is very hard to come by in this price range. This one keeps excellent time, less than 5 seconds fast per day (my other Ray ii blue dial is just a couple seconds slow per day) .Other reviewers complaints about the bezel and crown being too stiff don't seem to apply, as mine are firm but very easy to use after minimally repeated use for a day or two. Such a break in period seems normal for Orient diver watches in my experience (this is my 4th, I also have a blue dial Ray II and a couple Makos).Overall probably the best value for the money on the market that I've found so far. I get questions and compliments all the time!

Nailed the orange color
Great automatic dive watch at this price point. I was looking for an orange diver. Loved the color and looks of this watch. It also wear comfortably on the wrist. Keeps great time too. Better than some of my more expensive watches. Negatives are, the polished bezel and crown are hard to grip due to being so smooth. The crown is also a little small.

Quality watch, great bezel
The media could not be loaded. I swapped the bracelet for a strap for personal preference. This was is beautiful, immaculately constructed, has hacking and great loom. The bezel is very sturdy and feels way more expensive than other similarly priced dive watches. I don’t know how Orient managed this at a price so low! The watch looks better in person than in the pictures. I am going to explore Orient watches more.

Best budget diver?
Birthday present, just arrived!Absolutely gorgeous shade of orange that goes with any attire. Impressive dive look. Borrows a lot from the Rolex Submariner but has its own thing going too. Was considering the new Seiko 5 Sports series' orange dial model but went for this considering the price difference.Overall look is playful and sporty yet goes well with formal attire. The orange, I thought, sets it apart from the rest of the Ray II collection. Lume is pretty impressive.The strap was a bit big for my wrist so had to get a link removed and the clasp adjusted from a watch repair store for a snug fit. Will soon also explore a dark brown leather strap with orange stitching to accentuate the dial.Got it for no more than $170 including shipping from Amazon. The crown can be a bit hard to rotate but that ultra minor quirk aside, a perfect 10/10 for the price. Especially considering it looks like I've paid a lot more for it.

Bold beautiful orange dive watch
While researching orange-face dive watches, I came across the Orient Ray Raven II, and it immediately caught my attention. This watch is stunningly eye-catching. Mine is often mistaken for dive watches that cost four to six times more. I’ve worn it for over a year, and it continues to impress in both performance and durability. The vibrant orange face has shown no signs of fading, and the luminescent hour and minute hands, along with the minute markers, still glow brightly in the dark.The Orient Ray Raven II is a mechanical operating watch, meaning it relies on movement to stay powered. After setting the correct time, regular wear keeps it running, with a power reserve of approximately 40 hours when fully wound. According to the Orient owner's manual, wearing the watch for at least eight hours a day ensures accurate timekeeping.If, like me, you rotate between multiple watches, this is something to consider. Alongside the Ray Raven II, I also own a Citizen Promaster dive watch (analog) and several digital watches. Since I don’t wear the same watch every day, the Ray Raven II will stop running after about 36–40 hours of no movement, requiring a time reset before wearing it again. In contrast, my Citizen Promaster is solar-powered and runs off any light source, meaning I’ve never had to reset it in nearly three years. While resetting the Orient is not a major issue, it is a minor inconvenience compared to the hassle-free nature of the Citizen.That said, I absolutely love the Orient Ray Raven II. The bold orange face is striking, and for its quality and craftsmanship, it is very reasonably priced among other orange-faced dive watches. If you’re in the market for a standout orange face dive watch, this one is absolutely worth considering.

Excellent Dive Watch
This is an excellent dive watch made by Orient with an in-house movement. I have found it accuracy to be within prescribed limits plus or minus 20 seconds per day. The watch comes in a very nice presentation box as shown. It also comes with an excellent bracelet. The bracelet has the micro adjustments and a folding clasp with the Orient logo on it. I swapped out the bracelet for a strap due a hand injury. You can see the watch with a black with orange highlight strap 22 mm. For $170 this is an excellent purchase for a casual sports watch. It is water resistant to 200 m or 600 plus feet. I don't think there are many of us going that deep anytime soon. It has a hacking second hand. The lume is strong, green and does last all night at a readable level. Obviously it does not stay as bright as when the picture was taken.
