Product Information

Full details

The Orient Bambino 38mm is designed for watch enthusiasts who appreciate vintage-inspired aesthetics and mechanical reliability in a compact, versatile package. Its standout feature is the elegant, clean ivory cream dial paired with a signature domed crystal, providing an air of sophisticated, timeless style suitable for both office environments and evening attire. While it offers excellent value for a mechanical timepiece, users should note that the water resistance is limited to 30 meters, meaning it is not suitable for swimming or heavy water exposure.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Orient Bambino 38mm waterproof?

It has a water resistance rating of 30 meters. It is splash-resistant but should not be submerged in water or worn while swimming.

What is 'hacking' in a watch movement?

Hacking allows the second hand to stop completely when the crown is pulled out, enabling you to set the time to the exact second.

Can I replace the leather strap?

Yes, the watch uses standard-sized lugs, allowing you to easily swap the included leather strap for any third-party strap of the correct width.

Does the watch require a battery?

No, this is a mechanical automatic watch. It is powered by the kinetic energy of your movement while wearing it or by manual winding.

What material is the crystal?

The watch features a domed mineral crystal, which contributes to its authentic vintage look.

How long is the power reserve?

The F6724 movement provides a power reserve of approximately 40 hours when fully wound.

Troubleshooting

Watch stopped running

Manually wind the watch using the crown or wear it to allow the automatic rotor to build up a power reserve.

Time is inaccurate

Ensure the watch has been fully wound and check if the watch has been exposed to magnetic sources; if issues persist, have the movement regulated by a professional watchmaker.

Date changes at noon instead of midnight

Advance the time forward by 12 hours to correctly synchronize the AM/PM cycle of the date mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Compact and elegant 38mm sizing is perfect for dress watch proportions
Reliable in-house Japanese automatic movement with manual winding
Hacking functionality allows for accurate time synchronization
Classic vintage aesthetic with a unique ivory cream dial
Excellent value for an entry-level mechanical watch

Cons

30-meter water resistance restricts use near water
Mineral crystal is more prone to scratching than sapphire alternatives
Leather strap may require a break-in period for maximum comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To start the watch, unscrew the crown if necessary or gently pull it to the first position to manually wind the movement (approximately 20-30 rotations). To set the time, pull the crown to the second position to engage the hacking feature, which stops the second hand, allowing you to synchronize with a reference clock. For date adjustments, pull the crown to the first position and rotate.

Care Instructions:

Avoid wearing during activities where the watch may be submerged or exposed to heavy rain.
Clean the case periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth.
To maintain the leather strap's longevity, avoid prolonged exposure to sweat or moisture.
Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (such as those from large speakers or industrial equipment) to ensure timing accuracy.
