Orient Bambino Refreshes Line With 38MM Small Seconds Model

For a long time now, the Orient Bambino has been one of the main market references in the dress watch category with affordable prices. If until now one of the main complaints was its case size of over 40mm, the brand has just overcome this problem with the new 38mm Bambino Small Seconds.

The independent Japanese brand that is part of the Seiko Group, follows the same lines as the mother house, being recognized for producing good quality watches, with attractive designs and at entry-level prices.

The new Orient Bambino arrives in a stainless steel case measuring 38.40mm in diameter and 12mm thick, with a polished surface and brushed sides, smooth bezel, domed mineral glass, fluted crown at 3 o’clock, open case back and 30m water resistance.

The dial, instead of the previous Arabic numerals, now comes with applied Roman numerals in the same tone as the case material, two central hands, a small seconds at 6 o’clock, a date window next to the crown and a minute track next to the edges that also comes with seconds track.

The renewed Bambino arrives in four variants, one that comes with a silvery white dial with blue hands, another with an ivory dial also with blue hands, one with a black dial with a silver sub-dial and blue hand and finally one that comes in a gold-plated steel case, silvery white dial and gilt hands.

Inside, the watches share the Caliber F6222 automatic movement that operates at 21,600 Vph, presenting an accuracy of -15 to +25 seconds per day and offering up to 40 hours of power reserve.

The watches come attached to a leather strap with a steel pin buckle in the colour of the case with prices starting at €265 and going up to €279 for the gold-plated version.
