Orient Expands Bambino 38MM Line With Fresh Pastel Dials And Steel Bracelets
Orient brings a new trio of 38mm Bambino in pastel tones with summer in mind.
The Bambino continues to be known as an affordable dress watch with a simple, elegant design that looks much more expensive and puts many premium brands to shame.
One of the main complaints from fans was the size of the case, a problem that was resolved in 2022 with the arrival of two new sizes of 38 and 36mm that joined the original 40mm, which thus began to embrace a larger audience.
The classic collection of which the Bambino is part includes countless models of different sizes, complications and mechanical or quartz movements. The 38mm model with time and date functions was available in 10 variants, which the new trio now joins.
The new Bambino comes with dial tones of Grass Green, Light Blue and Cooper bordering on pink, with a sunburst finish, faceted hour markers, Dauphine hands, a centre seconds hand that works in partnership with the minute track rehaut, a date window with white background next to the crown and the inscriptions of the brand logo followed by “Automatic” of the movement at noon and “Water Resistance” at 6 o’clock.
On the outside, we find the usual round stainless steel case with a mainly polished finish, 38.40mm in diameter, 12.50mm thick and 44mm long, smooth bezel, slender lugs, domed glass, fluted crown at 3 o’clock, open case back and 30m water resistance.
Powered by the in-house F6724 automatic movement, it features an accuracy of -15/+25 seconds per day, operating at a frequency of 3 Hz and offering up to 40 hours of power reserve.
The new Bambinos come attached to a 3-link steel bracelet with a folding clasp, which is an absolute first, as the models present in the 38mm collection until now all come with a leather strap.
The watches are available today in the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers for €330.
