Orient 'Bambino Version 4' Japanese Automatic/Hand Winding Stainless Steel and Leather Dress Watch

I purchased this watch on a deal a while ago and have absolutely loved it thus far. Although the rounded glass face does make it slightly more susceptible to scratching, in my fairly frequent use of this watch, I have only added a couple of minor scratches to the glass face that are not too noticeable. The band of the watch is very comfortable and I love the overall color scheme and design of the watch. When compared to watches that are more expensive, it will definitely hold up. Although I like automatic watches and appreciate not having to ever worry about a battery, it is certainly somewhat annoying having to wind the watch when I go a couple of days without wearing it, but overall, I don't mind all that much given my liking for the watch. At what is likely a full wind, I would likely estimate the watch will continue running for about two days. Overall, I expect this watch to last me a long time and I have found it to be a great value for the money.

I am amazed by the quality and aesthetics of this piece. From the beautiful domed sapphire crystal, to the classic style hands and markers, to the beautiful two-tone faded dial, this thing is beautiful all the way around. The size is perfect and the domed crystal does a nice job of giving the dial a magnified appearance. The band is top notch and the alligator pattern was a plus for something in this price range. I would have rather had the brown band, and accidentally ordered with black, but still looks really good with the gold and dark outer edge of the dial. From a functionality perspective, it keeps decent time, but I've caught it being a little fast by a few seconds a day. This isn't really a big deal for me and something I've gotten used to with automatic/mechanical watches. I just pull the crown, count to whatever I need, push the crown back in and you're good for another day. The comfort is outstanding and I can wear it for hours without even noticing it's there (other than constantly catching my eye of course). I have a number of nice watches and this is one of my favorites. Absolutely nothing negative to say about it. I wish I had a large clock size version to put on my wall!

Right size dial - beautiful. The copper like marks are just right combo for the dial color. Great watch for the price - this is an orient, simple classy, and stylish. The strap is okay, but i generally use a different color one with a clasp. Would love to experiment with more colors on this.

First Orient and definetely a keeper. First this watch quality wise is on another level than what its price shows. No this is not as well made as a Rolex or Omega instead it rivals brands like Hamilton. The case is polished steel that is really bright and even. The watch has a domed mineral crystal that is very thick. The watch has a signed buckle but no signed crown. The hands are short and the red seconds hands is somewhat of a turnoff seems to sporty for a dress watch but I am a youngster so I like the modern style. The dial is the real showpiece of the watch and its best attribute. Its a sunburst dial that plays with the light going from bright blue to a dark blue almost black color. The movement is hackable and handwinds. Now for the bad parts of the watch. Due to the cases polish dust and finger prints are ever present. The movement is good except that their is rotor noise which is normal for more inexpensive automatics. The crown is not signed but some of the previous orient bambinos do have the signed crown. The lugs are not drilled making strap changing more difficult. The leather strap has a alligator pattern but is actually genuine leather was really stiff at first but it broke in eventually. I hate all day/date complications but there everywhere but I just have to get used to them. The biggest problem for me is the size. At 42mm it is rather large for a dress watch. Had the size been kept at 38mm to 40mm it would have been better. The thing about this watch is that it can be dressed down with a different strap and be worn with very casual attire. Overall as a first automatic its a great piece, as a new collector you will be proud to own one, veteran collectors will be impressed by its quality to price ratio. Its a great watch that mixes vintage appeal with some modern styling.

Beautiful watch

If you read any reviews, you’ll soon find out it is a great watch. It just is. I was going to get the blue, but I already have a few blue watches, so I decedent to try this color because it was different from all my other watches. I’m not a big fan of gold in general, but this watch is really elegant. The dial is much darker in person than on the product photos. It makes the gold really pop in a good AND subtle way. With the sunburst dial and done crystal the face changes from light to dark in bright light. You’ll either love it or hate it, but I find the 42mm size perfect. 39 is about as small as I like to go. This is a beautiful watch and I like the 42 mm size to see the details like the applied logo. I love the micro thin second with red on the tip. You go into this knowing their is no lume, so it’s difficult to see in very low light and a no go in dark. The band seems of good quality, but not thrilled with the newbuck leather color. I will change it out. And of course......I would have liked/paid more, for a sapphire crystal. Accuracy is luck of the draw, but I’ve been tracking mine with an app and atomic clock. +2 seconds a day!!! Overall this is just a really good looking watch, from a really good company at a really good price. I am totally satisfied.

This is a nice and well designed watch. Its price dropped and I bought it. Good for official and casual wear.

The seller was absolutely cooperative when I requested an earlier shipping.Got it just in time for my husband's birthday. He absolutely loved it! He's been eyeing this watch for few months now. And it certainly lives up to it's charm. A very classy watch for all your formal events. Absolutely love the blue colour.

This is one of my favourite watches from my collections. The watch is stylish and elegant. I use it mostly as dress watch (not sure if that is right). It is not the most expensive watch I have, but it is the one I have received most compliments so far. I got it mostly due to Youtube reviews. At this price range you can hardly beat it. Keep in mind this is automatic and it is somewhat difficult to use as daily driver. Power reserve rarely lasts more than 24 hours. Saying this if you are not used with automatics as I were when got it.

Orologio ottimo, pure superiore alle mie aspettative. Consegna velocissima. Tutto molto bene.

The watch completely meets expectations based on my previous purchase of Orient watch, high quality for a reasonable price. I actually expected it to be too big based on YouTube reviews but yes, the size is big but seems ok. I don't think I have a large wrist. Delivered in 5 days to Singapore. Hopefully, I do not need to use the warranty.
