FAQs

How often should I wind the watch?

The Orient Bambino Classic is an automatic watch, meaning it winds itself with the movement of your wrist. However, if you do not wear it regularly, you can manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise about 20-30 times when the crown is pushed in.

Is the watch water-resistant?

Yes, it is water-resistant up to 30 meters. However, it is not suitable for swimming or diving.

What kind of crystal does it have?

The watch features a domed glass crystal, contributing to its retro aesthetic.

How do I change the strap?

You can change the strap using a spring bar tool to remove the existing strap and attach a new one. Be careful not to scratch the watch case.

What is the power reserve?

The Orient Bambino Classic typically has a power reserve of approximately 40 hours when fully wound.

Where can I get the watch serviced?

You can have your watch serviced at a local watch repair shop or send it to an authorized Orient service center.

Troubleshooting

Watch stops working.

Ensure the watch is wound by wearing it daily or manually winding it. If it still doesn't work, consider professional servicing.

Date or day is incorrect.

Adjust the date and day settings using the crown. Make sure to set the date correctly, accounting for the number of days in each month.
