Product Information

Full details

The Orient Bambino RA-AC0025N is a sophisticated mechanical dress watch designed for individuals who appreciate mid-century aesthetics and reliable horology. Its standout feature is the combination of a striking beige sunburst dial with a signature domed mineral crystal, offering a refined, vintage look that elevates any formal or business attire. While it provides exceptional value for a mechanical timepiece, users should note its modest 30-meter water resistance, which is intended for light daily use rather than swimming or diving.

FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, the Orient Bambino is a mechanical automatic watch that runs solely on the energy generated by your physical movement.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

No, it has a 30-meter water resistance rating, which only protects it against minor splashes or rain. Do not submerge it.

How often should I service the movement?

It is generally recommended to have automatic watches serviced every 3 to 5 years to ensure longevity and accuracy.

Can I change the strap?

Yes, the lugs accommodate standard watch straps, allowing you to customize the look with different materials or colors.

Is the crystal scratch-resistant?

It uses a mineral crystal, which is durable but not as scratch-resistant as sapphire crystal. Treat it with care.

Troubleshooting

Watch stopped running after sitting for a day.

The watch relies on movement to maintain its power reserve. Manually wind the crown 20-30 times to restart the mechanism.

Second hand does not move when setting time.

This is the 'hacking' feature; the second hand will resume movement as soon as you push the crown back into the closed position.

Watch is running fast or slow.

Mechanical watches may gain or lose a few seconds a day. If the deviation is extreme, consult a professional watchmaker for regulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click and rotate to your desired time. To manually wind the watch, leave the crown in the first position and rotate it clockwise. As this watch features a genuine leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water or excessive sweat to prevent degradation of the material. When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements. If the case or crystal becomes smudged, wipe gently with a soft microfiber cloth to maintain the clarity of the dome.
