About this deal

Meanwhile, an upgrade of this movement, Orient Calibre F6724, controls Bambino Generation 2 models.

The second-generation Bambinos come in five different versions. Versions I, II, III, and IV run on Orient Caliber F6722, which is an upgraded 48743 of sorts. The most striking difference between Orient Bambino Generation 1 and Generation 2 watches might not be even the most obvious one. MovementAmidst all these differences, there are unifying similarities to Orient Bambino watches. Casing Dimensions If it was 18 millimeters, not only would the proportions be slightly more in line with other smaller watches, but there would be a near-endless supply of replacement straps available from which to choose. As is, the market’s limited on 17-millimeter straps. Compared to the first version, this version seems MORE CLUTTERED with its dial. Despite this, it still showcases a clean look that many sophisticated & luxurious-looking dress watches present to its users. What a thrilling time travel it was going from Versions 1 to 3. You had the classic Versions 1 and 2 until you encountered the modern-looking Version 3. While Orient is a large watch producer, it doesn’t have the same recognition stateside as some of its contemporaries. Enthusiasts get it, but those outside of the watch world don’t know the name.

This is quite acceptable considering that it is one of the most economical mechanisms of the brand. You can also tell the hour markers apart from other markings with their more rounded shape tapering at the end. In terms of size, all versions (including the special editions) have a diameter of 40.5 mm, except for the fourth version, which measures 42 mm. These sizes may be slightly larger than what is typically used for a dress watch, but they fit perfectly on most male wrists. A watch enthusiast will tell you that its minimalist styleis their main takeaway from this Bauhaus-inspired model. You saw how great the Orient Bambino series collection of dress watches with the first products on this list. Well, Orient Bambino Version 1 is the foundation for the later models of the brand.

Apart from this watch’s brilliant elegance appeal, if the original colors don’t sit well with you then… There are also special versions within each generation that combine features from the main versions with new design elements, such as the “Bambino Small Seconds” and the “Open Heart” generation. Its sunburst dial spices up things in the Orient Bambino watch series. The sunburst dial offers the following dial colors: blue, green, and grey.

Uniquely, Version II also comes in a worn-in off-white color, which seems like a hat-tip to its old-world style. Version III By 1951, Tama Keiki changed its name to Orient Watch Company and began producing the Orient Star, with more models to come soon thereafter. And, almost right away, Orient Watch Company began marketing its timepieces overseas. This is thanks to the slight remixing of classic elements, like the almost tear-drop shape of the baton markers and the tapered sword hands. It comes as a first generation and a second generation, though the latter is more common. Version IIThe leather strap that the Bambino 36mm comes on is very nice. It’s a calfskin leather band with an alligator pattern. The dark brown with brown stitching is about as easy as it gets when it comes to matching to belts or shoes, as well. The first generation Bambinos ran on Orient’s 48743 movement, an automatic caliber with a 40-hour power reserve and an accuracy of +/-15 seconds per day. I think Version V is the most versatile, thanks to its modern elegance. It’s also likely why it has the most remixes (the open heart, ladies, and small seconds versions). Orient, a traditional Japanese watch manufacturer, is famous for offering high-quality watches at moderate prices. Of course, this also applies to the
