Orient Bambino Version 7 Stainless Steel Unisex Automatic Dress Watch

My new Orient "Bambino" white dial 38 mm automatic watch is absolutely beautiful. The photos online don't do it justice. The price was good and it arrived promptly in a secure box. The packaging, paperwork and the exquisite quality of the watch itself spoke to its authenticity. (I was concerned, but checked the watch carefully for things noted online.) The watch has a clean, precise and understated look. The display back showing the movement is a great feature I really like. The 38 mm size is perfect for me, and is both comfortable and functional. Overall, the combination of the white dial, stainless case and black strap will make it the perfect dress watch for formal occasions.

This is an outstanding watch for the price point! I am very impressed - it looks even nicer in person than in the photos. The only small complaint I have that it sometimes audibly rattles when moving your hand, apparently due to the automatic-wind rotor that moves freely.

The media could not be loaded. I'm very, very happy with my watch. It's elegant and subtle, and it goes well with all my outfits, especially when I wear a suit. It corresponds perfectly to what I was looking for.This is my first automatic watch, and I'm not very savvy about watches, but I love it, and I believe people in my situation will love it too.

This is my first automatic, it's gorgeous and comfortable. Can't take it off and I sleep with it. I'm monitoring it's performance via watch accuracy meter app and it started at +9s/d and has been settling down, now it's running at +5s/d after 3 days of use. Date change completes at midnight but you're seeing the transition since 11pm. Internally it actually happens between 8pm-2am according to the manual. The strap is very comfortable too and I haven't had squeaky sounds as other stated, both the strap and movement are very quiet. It seems the buckle has a pin too so once I need to replace the strap I'll be able to keep the Orient labeled buckle, that's nice: strap goes 20mm at lugs to 18mm to buckle. The biggest concern I had prior buying online was the visibility of the black dial, but once it arrived I was able to confirm that's not an issue at all. The artifacts that some videos show are produced because how reflective the hands are: if you point a flashlight at it at the dark you're actually reflecting black from the dark behind you and that's the only artificial situation that has compromised visibility. I actually found it much clearer than my (also non lume) white dial quartz at night with just a TV on: hands are so reflective that the bare light from a TV at night reflects back from the wall behind me and contrast so gratefully with the black dial. At sunlight no issues neither at office, so basically visibility is good in all normal scenarios. Wanted to point out that it came in a beautiful cube like box with a pillow, was worried to receive it in the large pen like box instead. Also worth to mention that it dresses thinner than the actual 12mm height since almost half of it comes from the domed glass, haven't found it thicker at hand than my 7mm quartz.

I purchased Bambino Version 7 (black). I was looking for a classical retro-style dress watch and this 38mm version 7 (black) was a near perfect one (within my low budget restriction), as versions 8 & 9 looked more or less contemporary than classical.After testing for several days, I found the error was a bit over 20 but no less than 25 seconds per day, which is within the error margin of 30 seconds (that is normally accepted in the industry). So, I cannot complain a lot about it, but I have been expecting a bit better than that. (That's why 4 stars, instead of 5).Otherwise, everything is good. The watch itself is a bit bulky, but it is normal for a mechanical/automatic watch. The band quality is not "excellent" but "very good". (Of course, much better than cheap 20 dollars or less bands!) Most importantly, it looks very good to me! It matters most.
