[Orient](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambino-watch) unveils four new Mako Diver references in the form of the [Mako Solar Chronograph](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defy-extreme-chrom) timepiece along with a spotlight on the green colorway that is exclusive to the UK. The other three colors celebrate the basic model that is made up of the blue dial with the same bezel and a white dial version that is complete with a black rotating bezel that goes in uni directions.

The aforementioned green colorway is detailed with black subdials that contrast against the deep green dial and bezel. The watch case is designed with a stainless steel structure complete with metal bracelets to match. It is notably able to convert energy from sunlight and other light sources which can power the watch for up to six months.
