A smashing hit among watch lovers thanks to it's timeless and classic design, it has seen many variants, but with this it goes back to it's roots.
Powered by an in-house made Orient movement it comes with both hacking and hand winding, something that was missing on the first generation. an Orient Star. Orient is a 60+ year old brand from Japan that has been recently bought by one division of Seiko.

They would get way more sales I believe if they would just make their watches in 38-40 mm and 18 or 20 mm strap width with sapphire crystals.

Great video, I love Orient Watches, I own 3

The Orient Bambino will become a classic, if it's not already.

[Edgaros]

i just wish they framed the date window, instead of leaving it like a hole in the dial. Hell, i'd even prefer no date at all...

[eyeheartsushi]

My first mechanical watch was an Orient Star Classic, so I’m looking forward to seeing the watch they send you.

I agree with your statement towards the end: There’s no need to buy cheap Chinese watches when you can get a much better watch from Orient (and Seiko) without spending a lot more.

I like the watch you just unboxed but, at a glance, it appears it could have some readability issues. It’s very elegant, though.

Nice watch... except for the clasp... butterfly clasps are not comfortable at all 😐

[neverknowinglyunders]

Beautiful watch. They could easily set themselves apart by offering a smaller case size and no date.

[treehugger]

Good. I like these simple bracelets better than the "small links" bracelets. Is there a way to get just the bracelet for my bambino?

[ozludo]

I'm a little disappointed. The lugs could curve down more - that might help with the wider bracelet links. Much better on a leather strap. Otherwise, I wish the date wheel was colour-matched, with white text. Nice, but not Orient's best effort.

[Gary-ibdz]

Cool watch. I agree it should be smaller. I would also rather have a sapphire crystal than hacking and hand winding. I like my Orient Mako USA 2 and my Orient Analyst/Herald

[stavros_katsopr]

Marin, try to do something about the light. Whole video is low light, especialy on a watch like this when light hits it one side you loose all the rest... Natural is fine but artificial will help mate.
PS Not my style, nice watch nevertheless. And Orient = desent af 😌

To me in particular this design reminds me more of a Junghans than a Bambino, and I like it a lot, but, as you, I would be very happy if the watch companies, not only Orient, started again to manufacture pieces of less than 40mm when they create a formal watch.
The Bambino, and this watch whether or not it is Bambino, have it all to be the perfect dress watch, minus the size :(

Hi I've looked at Orient watches a thousand times but never bought one, not sure why may this one, but I'm still waiting for the full review and tutorial of the Casio WV-59 hope it wont be long

[Watchmade]

I bought three times three different Bambinos and sold them all. They look gorgeous and are great quality for the price. BUT this design would fit 100% on a 38/39mm. Unfortunately the watch is too big for me and since the watch has barely a bezel and a very flat look from the front it looks even way bigger. Looking forward for a 38mm.

Hey Marin,
Over at Seriouswatches in Friesland (Holland) they are currently selling the skeletonized Bambino. Have you seen them already? I would call Laura asap ;-)

[v.h.]

The case design look a lot like the "Presage Automatic Ladies" from seiko (Champagne Ref. SRRY025 / SRP855J1 and Red Ref. SRRY027 / SRP853J1) Beautiful watch that's part of the "Cocktail Time" family.
Is there any other dial color?

[richardshaw]

Look pretty but needs half links on butterfly bracelet from experience you are either lucky or not when sizing..it does look big on your wrist...

[ulyssescostales]

Do you have reference no. for this timepiece? I want to know more in this piece. Thanks morepower

[danspanos]

Did I hear you say it has a sapphire crystal?
