FAQs

Is the Orient Bambino waterproof?

It is water-resistant to 30 meters, which means it can withstand minor splashes but should not be submerged or worn while swimming.

Does this model have a battery?

No, this is a mechanical automatic watch that is powered by the kinetic energy of your wrist movement.

Can I replace the leather strap?

Yes, the watch features standard lugs, making it compatible with many aftermarket leather, nylon, or metal straps.

What is the hacking feature?

Hacking refers to the seconds hand stopping when you pull the crown out, allowing you to set the time precisely to the second.

How often does it need servicing?

It is generally recommended to have an automatic watch inspected or serviced by a professional every 5 to 7 years to ensure the oil remains effective.

Is the dial face sapphire glass?

The Orient Bambino uses a domed mineral crystal, which is standard for this model to achieve its vintage domed look.

Troubleshooting

The watch stops during the night.

Ensure the watch has been worn for at least 8 hours during the day, or manually wind the crown 15-20 times before taking it off.

The date changes at noon instead of midnight.

Pull the crown out to the time-setting position and advance the hands forward by 12 hours to sync the date cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent build quality for the price point
  • Versatile 40mm case size fits most wrists well
  • Hacking and hand-winding features provide modern convenience
  • Sophisticated vintage aesthetic
  • Visible movement through the exhibition caseback

Cons

  • Limited water resistance of 30 meters
  • Mineral crystal is more prone to scratching than sapphire
  • Stock leather strap may require a break-in period

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click and rotate until the hands indicate the correct time. The first click allows you to adjust the date. For long-term care, keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can interfere with the balance spring. Avoid wearing the watch in water, as the 30-meter rating only protects against light splashes or rain. Clean the watch head occasionally with a soft, lint-free cloth and treat the leather strap with a leather conditioner once or twice a year to prevent cracking. Given the standard lug width, the watch is highly compatible with a wide range of aftermarket straps, allowing you to easily swap the style for different occasions.
