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!!

A beautiful watch that lays flat on the wrist and is relatively thin, even with the domed crystal. The dial is very attractive and the automatic movement, which is visible through the display case back, appears to be robust and well made for a watch sold at this price point. Some additional decoration of the movement would be a nice touch. The calf leather strap is thin and a bit stiff, but will soften with use. I am pleased with this purchase and recommend this watch to anyone that wants a well made and attractive watch that will not break the bank.

The watch is pure elegance and stunning. The master craft and quality is same as any great high brand watch. The size is just perfect for any guy who's slender with a good taste. I personally don't like big watches or bulky. I work in a office and I like to dress with a watch according to my taste and my job. The band is pure leather and soft flexible to handle because the quality of the leather plus also looks great with the watch given more sophistication to the watch itself. It runs perfectly without any issues but must keep it moving or it will stop. Perhaps a little annoying to keep setting everything over again but I don't mind because I like to switch watches.

This watch is super nice, perfect.

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

What a great watch! I bought the black dial version, and at this price point I think it's a perfect dress watch that can also double as a dressy/casual piece. The 38mm size fits comfortably on my 7" wrist, and I really like the dark blue seconds hand mounted in the contrasting small silver dial. The Orient name below the small logo at twelve o'clock balances out the seconds hand dial, and the small date window is a subtle addition. Bottom line? If you want an affordable automatic movement timepiece ,and you like how this looks . . . buy it! Well done Orient!

Orient is an excellent brand on the cost/benefit balance. This model is great for complementing your dressing on formal and semi-formal occasions.

Absolutely love this watch. People criticize the band, and that is likely fair, but the watch suits me and I have worn it as an everyday watch for quite a while. Also, there's little to no risk of scratching the crystal at my job. So it was a good watch.

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

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

Stunning, and seems well made. So worth the $$. I was tired of putting two high end (battery powered) watches into repair and paying 500 dollars every 5 years. (Both were gifts and though beautiful, not practical.). Decided to sell them and get myself a reasonably priced well made automatic that might need fewer or less costly repairs. This is SO pretty. That said, if you have a smaller wrist, make sure you consider size. The 38.4 mm looks massive on my wrist. I am keeping it because I love the dial and don't love the smaller faces by Orient nearly as much. If you wear the same watch almost every day, an automatic is so easy.

Good product.

Schöne Armbanduhr.
