Product Information
Full details
The Orient Bambino is designed for individuals who appreciate classic, vintage-inspired aesthetics paired with dependable mechanical watchmaking. Its key benefit is the combination of a sophisticated blue sunray dial and reliable automatic movement, offering luxury style at an accessible entry point. A notable caveat is the 30-meter water resistance rating, which means it should be kept away from swimming or significant water exposure.

FAQs
Does this watch need a battery?
No, the Bambino is a mechanical automatic watch and does not require a battery.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
No. The 30-meter water resistance rating is only sufficient for minor splashes and not for submersion or swimming.
What is 'hacking'?
Hacking allows the second hand to stop when the crown is pulled out, enabling you to set the time to the exact second.
How often should I service the movement?
It is generally recommended to have automatic movements serviced every 3 to 5 years to maintain accuracy.
Is the leather strap replaceable?
Yes, the standard lug width allows you to replace the strap with any aftermarket watch band of the same size.
Troubleshooting
The watch stopped running
Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times while in the first position to build power reserve.
The date changes at noon instead of midnight
Advance the time forward by 12 hours. The watch tracks a 24-hour cycle, so the date change reflects AM/PM settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click and rotate. To set the date, pull the crown to the first click and rotate. Ensure the crown is pushed all the way back in after adjustments to maintain dust resistance. The leather strap provides a comfortable fit out of the box, though it can be swapped for other 21mm or 22mm bands (check specific lug width). To care for your Bambino, avoid wearing it while washing hands excessively or in rain, as the 30m water resistance is only splash-proof. Clean the case with a dry microfiber cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals on the leather strap.
