Orient Bambino Version 7 Small Seconds 38.4mm Automatic/Hand-Winding Dress Watch

This is my first Orient watches, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I have a very modest watch collection with my best being some Omegas. I certainly wasn't expecting Omega quality from Orient. First impression: This is a BEAUTIFUL watch. It feels good and solid, with a great finish on all parts, and an excellent dial and crystal. It could easily be confused with much more expensive watches. The watch has some actual wight to it, which is very nice. The movement, which can be seen through the back, is not as well finished as higher end watches, but looks well built and sounds good, but not great. It sounds like a workhorse watch, which is perfect at this price. The faux leather band looks good, but feels a bit stiff and rugged, and looks a tiny bit as though it was made under a budget. That being said, I am sure it will wear well. The only true "fault" I found was when I wound it manually. The winding mechanism feels stiff and not as smooth as many of my other watches, including some at this price. Since you will rarely wind it (automatic), most people won't notice or care. One point I particularly liked was the box it came in. It made no pretenses about being a high end, luxury box. It was reminiscent of a mid-century box a watch like this would have come in back in the day. I like that they saved the money, but still did a decent presentation. All things being said, based on this unboxing, I would highly recommend this watch. Other reviews indicate these watches do well over time, so I expect no surprises. Best wishes and happy collecting!!

Very beautiful watch. Looks more expensive than it is because of the amazing quality. Best dress watch you could buy for less than $300. And perfect for small wrist too.

Great watch at a great price. Thanks!

In LOVE with my bambino! I swaggerjacked my one friend who had it, then had 3 people swaggerjack me. For ~$200 you’re getting a QUALITY automatic movement with very very respectable finish and attractiveness. I love how the bambino focused on the classy, dress up look. I show my watch nerd friends and no one could guess under $500. Typical automatic watches are $1,000+ on the crappy end - you have to look in the right places I guess. It’s been accurate and has held up very well with 99% use on my wrist as my daily. Seriously, this is a MUST for anyone looking for a classy Go Anywhere Do Anything (GADA) watch.

This is my first foray into true watch-enthusiast territory, and I could not be happier. My Orient Bambino Version 7 (At 38mm, I think of it as my "Little Bambino") is stunning. The color of the face seems to change depending on the angle: viewed dead-on, it's a silvery white; but at any other angle it takes on the hue of old ivory, which is the perfect complement to the handsome gold indices. From the small sweep second hand to the outermost markings, it is a gorgeous watch face. The amazing thing is that this intro-level Bambino cost substantially less than some of my quartz watches. The band started a little stiff, but is breaking in nicely, and I find it to fit the style of the watch perfectly. Finally, WatchNation managed to get the watch to me almost 15 days ahead of the promised delivery date! This has been an excellent experience all the way around, and I hope to do it again soon.

I loved the watch, it actually looks elegant and at same time sober, it can also be used for different looks. I loved it

Beautiful watch with a classic sophisticated look. The band squeaks. Hopefully it will stop when broken in. Shipping was slower than expected. Overall I’m satisfied

Very nice

Excelente llega antes del tiempo estimado y tal cual se ve así llega.

Bonito, funciona muy bien, precio adecuado dado lo que obtienes, y con cambiar la correa por una a tu gusto, tienes un reloj espectacular que si es lo que buscas, retro y elegante, este lo borda.

Ótimo relógio. Recomendo provar um bambino antes de comprar, já que a caixa dele parece menor ao vivo.

Love Love Love the dial, weight and the size. The movement is pretty decent and has been holding within 10-15s a day, better than the Seiko 4R. The watch is thin and the power reserve is pretty great. The 38mm size is perfect for a dress watch and looks great on my wrist (6.25”-6.5”). The hands are polished and change color depending on the light angle. Seconds hand hides the ”water resistance” text that Orient normally has so this looks sophisticated. The only con is the leather strap that is squeaky and doesn’t feel premium at all.

Good product.
