All class. The Bambino is one of Orient’s best-selling watches and it’s no secret why. A clean, simple, well proportioned (read: not enormous) dress watch is a foundational piece to any guy’s wardrobe. Just look at the J. Crew Timex 1600. They’re slinging that blanketed-in-fluffy-language sterile quartz for almost $200. The Bambino not only costs less as an automatic (with the code), it also comes out of the box looking like an heirloom.

The case diameter is 40.5mm without the crown and wears a little smaller than that. Also available in a black dial version, as well as two rose-gold plated options that run $20 more at retail. Water resistant to just 30m, but this is the kind of watch you wear dressed up. So take it off before you wash the dog. The leather band is a deep brown with some reddish hues, very similar to the band that comes with the Orient Explorer. Come to think of it, if you had an Orient Explorer in your collection for those times you wanted something with a busier dial, and this for the times when you wanted to keep it simple… then you’d be set.
Awfully lucky and set.
