Orient Bambino Small Seconds - My Review

I did not think I was going to review this watch but the opportunity presented itself! I'm finally handling the one full sized Bambino that I really thought about getting for a long time. I think this is the best looking Bambino of the whole series, but there's one big thing that annoys me..

Review of the 36 mm Orient Bambino 5s:

Review of the Seiko SRPD43:

This bambino looks great on you. There’s a lot of nonsense in the watch community about 40mm and up being too large. That’s total nonsense. You should wear what’s proportional for you, and this bambino is well within that size on your wrist

It’s a classic dress watch with a vintage vibes, really good looking, very slightly let down by the silly lug width. Good review

[SunsetLover]

I recently bought this watch as a gift for my father-in-law who turned 60 and I'm very happy with my purchase. I opted for the rose gold model and it looks amazing!

Best review of this watch on YouTube, thanks a lot. I'm considering buying it this version since the 38mm version is just too expensive in my country compared to this one. Even though my wrist are on the smaller side I think it'll look fine

That's a seriously good looking watch. I've been eyeing this Bambino variant ever since I first started collecting watches. I do have another Bambino temporarily in the collection at the moment, and you are absolutely right about the diameter being too large.
Great review Anders 👍🏻
Can't wait to see your review of that Seiko!

[fortza]

It´s a GREAT dress watch, I just love it - and the size is just perfect!

[WesWatchRoom]

I like this, well apart from the unnecessary date window, wish they made it in a smaller diameter too, that would make this a real must have for me. Thanks for the review

[megasoid]

I own this watch and love it. The size may be an issue for some, but not me. Sure the 21mm lug width has got to go along with the date window and the cheap strap is easily replaced. But for the money, I don't think you could do better. Thanks for a solid review, I get where you're coming from.

What was the name of the watch on the left at 6:00?
Nice review, thank you.

[alekpd]

Same for me, love the watch but hate the size

[childrolland]

I have white dial one, roman hour numberings, blue hands. Pairs nicely with blue nylon strap (22 mm). Bambinos are so great! 36 mm could be nicer, but the prices and availability are ungodly most of the time.

I've always enjoyed looking at various models of Bambinos. The date function and 21mm lug width is of no advantage, but like you my big problem with Bambinos is the size. Dress/minimalist/bauhaus style etc - "all dial" design - look too big in sizes like this. Hence why I'm yet to own one. I'm aware of the 36mm (which seems quite more expensive), and there seems like a 38mm are coming out soon. We'll see. Great review as usual.

Waiting for your review on the new 38mm 😊

[jamgamer]

This is a rare watch right here. Every aesthetic is perfect minus maybe the strap.

[normanddavid]

You have to consider your wrist size, i own a bambino 40.5mm and it look good on my 7 1/4 inch size wrist. I ear that they have a 38 mm model available now.

[juliotrigueros]

What size in cm is your wrist?
Thanks!

[duggu]

I guess there are 2 versions in this watch. For one version on the back side it says made in japan for the other version it says movement Japan. Can you confirm on this?

[すとろんちうむ]

Perhaps this design doesn't need a date display.

[zatoichiable]

If only its 38mm and no date window... it would be perfect...

[fornamnefternamn]

So sad this is so big. It should be 38´6-38 mm for that vintage look.
