Orient Bambino Open-Heart Automatic Dress Watch with White Dial #RA-AG0001S10A

The new Bambino Open Heart is a very attractive version of the classic original models. It is the only Bambino model that doesn’t feature a date display (as a consequence of the open heart at 9:00). However, it’s clearly taken design cues from its predecessors. The thin, modern hour markers and hands are borrowed from the Bambino Version 4, while the signed onion-styled crown is similar to the one found on the Version 2.

Like all Bambino models this open-heart version has eye-catching domed dial and crystal. Dimensions-wise it is 40.5mm in diameter and just 12mm thick. It is powered by the polished caliber F6T22, a movement developed specifically for the Orient open heart watches. It supports hand winding and hacking and the automatic movement is visible via an exhibition window case back. The watch comes on a nice alligator-grain leather strap with a buckle closure.

NOTE: We can only sell and ship this watch to the USA and Canada.

The Bambino for Enthusiasts	May 19, 2019
Reviewer: Bernard Fyer

General thoughts: Excellent for evening wear. Rose-gold variant is warm, especially on black leather strap. Wear true-to-size.

Case, bezel, & build quality: Domed crystal provides classic look and feel, though is fragile and a scratch magnet. Case-back is naked stainless steel.

Strap: Included crocodile leather strap is too formal, was immediately replaced with a black leather strap, which allows casual wear easily.

Movement: The sand-blasted F6T22 movement is a lovely upgrade over older movements. Accuracy is within spec; I found myself adjusting time twice per week. The open-heart presentation more than makes up for the absence of the date complication.

Hand & markers: The baton markers and hands are beautiful in rose-gold plate. All of the important pieces are reflective, and look great in both red and blue lighting.

Suggested improvements: Remove water resistant text. Add date wheel complication at the 3-o'clock. Use sapphire crystal. Rose-gold plate the case back.
