Orient Bambino Version 7 Stainless Steel Unisex Automatic Dress Watch

What can be said for this truly wonderful timepiece that already hasn't? I've wanted to own an Orient timepiece for a while because of their classic styling, but they were mostly too large for my wrist. After learning about the 38mm Bambino and researching it, I couldn't wait to see it for myself. I love clean classic design, and this watch does not disappoint. Upon receiving the beautifully packaged watch, one look and it became clear to me that this Orient Bambino 38 exceeded my expectations. This is a truly wonderful watch. The size is perfect, and the face is elegant and clear. the ivory dial is not exactly matte -- it has a very slight subtle sheen, not to reflect light, but to make it elegant and give it a little richness. The markers glitter all day and play with light, and hands are a sharp sparkling deep blue that are easy to see against the creamy background. The movement is lovely, and the sweep of the second hand is gentle and soothing. So far, my watch has been keeping astonishingly accurate time. The hand winding is crisp and clean, with nice feedback and a large enough crown to get a good grip as you wind, and the automatic movement is great, with the exhibition back giving you a good view of the movement that is designed more for function that decoration, but it's still a wonder to see the gears of little precision machine on your wrist, and fun to view the feedback as you wind. The leather band is much better than other reviewers have led me to believe it would be. it's a little stiff and squeaky at first, but I wore it as I waited for the replacement bands to come in, I began to see its charm. The chestnut color is perfectly chosen to compliment the watch face, and the leather breaks in quickly, taking away the squeaky quality. I tried the other bands, and kept the OG band! it was charming, comfortable, and classic -- and lends the watch an air of proper playfulness. The case is elegant, graciously proportioned bezel and lugs, and there is a good mix of brushed and polished surfaces. It looks rich. The watch easily looks 3 times the price or more. And this is something I feel passionately about: I love their 2 lion and crest logo, I know that others have bristle at it, but for me, it speaks to the classic old fashioned charm, and gives this understated masterpiece a level of charm and flourish and feels timeless and retro and fresh all at once. It makes me smile. My strongest criticism is the same as other people have reported: I would pay extra for sapphire crystal. The domed crystal is gorgeous, but my love of this watch compels me to wear it as my daily go-to, and I would be able to do so with less stress if I had the assurance of the durability of a sapphire crystal. Overall, the look and feel of this watch is one of a classic timepiece, but with a subtle playful air of elegant proportions and a feel for never becoming outdated. All said, the value of this watch is beyond exceptional, but the watch is wonderful not only because it's a good value, The Orient Bambino 38 is wonderful because it it a beautifully designed timepiece with thoughtful proportions that will look great on everybody, and a vibe that has a sense of classic history. High recommend. Now, Orient needs to make a special edition 38mm with sapphire crystal and screw down crown!

Looks fantastic, bad strap obviously but it keeps great time around plus 3 seconds per day for me. Fits on 7 1/4 inch wrist perfectly. Got an actual alligator strap off Etsy and it elevates it to a whole other level. Photos are with new strap not stock.

Great watch for the price. Really impressed since un 4 days of use it runs +3 seconds. Less than +1 sec/day Totally recommended

My new Orient "Bambino" white dial 38 mm automatic watch is absolutely beautiful. The photos online don't do it justice. The price was good and it arrived promptly in a secure box. The packaging, paperwork and the exquisite quality of the watch itself spoke to its authenticity. (I was concerned, but checked the watch carefully for things noted online.) The watch has a clean, precise and understated look. The display back showing the movement is a great feature I really like. The 38 mm size is perfect for me, and is both comfortable and functional. Overall, the combination of the white dial, stainless case and black strap will make it the perfect dress watch for formal occasions.

I love it ! Looks great

this is a great looking watch. if warn daily keeps time well. Looks great for the cost (band is a little cheap but that's replaceable) and the fact that its an automatic it's pretty great value. You can even see the clockwork on that back of the watch when you take it off! very cool! My one complaint about the watch is that there is an implicit AM and PM dude to the 12/24 hour cycle. this mean when you set the date, you are not sure if you are in the AM or PM of the date you are on, and so the date tends to click over in the middle of the day. You could correct by stoping the watch for a 12 hour cycle to flip the AM and PM, but if you stop wearing for a couple days its going to get out of wack again, and you'd have to start the process all over again. I considered giving 4 stars, but I feel like this one minor gripe, deserved to be pointed out. overall it's extremely good value.

Great watch, great price

I purchased Bambino Version 7 (black). I was looking for a classical retro-style dress watch and this 38mm version 7 (black) was a near perfect one (within my low budget restriction), as versions 8 & 9 looked more or less contemporary than classical. After testing for several days, I found the error was a bit over 20 but no less than 25 seconds per day, which is within the error margin of 30 seconds (that is normally accepted in the industry). So, I cannot complain a lot about it, but I have been expecting a bit better than that. (That's why 4 stars, instead of 5). Otherwise, everything is good. The watch itself is a bit bulky, but it is normal for a mechanical/automatic watch. The band quality is not "excellent" but "very good". (Of course, much better than cheap 20 dollars or less bands!) Most importantly, it looks very good to me! It matters most.

Excelente compra, el tamaño es perfecto para un reloj formal. Muy buenos acabados, impecable joya.

Bellissimo

Ótimo relógio. Simples e bonito.

The watch seems it was used, and it’s delivered without any packaging and it has scratches

El reloj es excelente, justo lo que esperaba. El brazalete pudiera no ser el mejor, similar a la calidad que maneja seiko en este rango de precios. Yo le cambié el brazalete por una correa gris, justo cuando lo recibí
