This is the second piece into my collection. I started with a seiko SNKD99K1. Now I got this bambino small seconds in the Champaign finish. Might get a all black leather strap for it. I see in the comments people don’t like the date window. I personally love It

Just bought this watch, I wanted a Bambino, and when I saw the small seconds in black I thought "ok, this is a nice one", but then the champagne dial came up between the suggestions and I was like "I MUST OWN YOU!". Second Orient in my collection, the other one is a dress watch as well and I can't complain, it works like a charm so this was an easy choice.

Greetings from Australia! Another articulate and succinct review. Well done Bruce. Orient is such an honest watchmaker. I have the grey Bambino that you reviewed earlier this year and couldn't be happier. Thanks again mate and have a happy new year. Best wishes to you and your family. May your father wears his new Orient in good health.

Shame about the large size though - have just acquired a black dial orient Star Classic from Singapore for $320 and think the 38.5 size is more suitable for a dress watch, though the dial on the Star doesn’t quite have the wow factor of this Orient featured.

Hey that's a pretty sweet Orient watch. Definitely looks like something worth considering. I really like the design, although as you say it's not necessarily a completely original one at least in the dial layout. By the way what color is that dial,? It looks like a sort of radiant champagne color? Looks really nice on this particular style of Watch. Yeah, too bad about that date window at the three, it would have been better if they had left it out, but it's not a complete deal breaker because overall the watch looks pretty sweet still. Who knows? Maybe Orient might make a another version without the date window later down the line.

Nice review. I know that Orient have some great classic looking watches but along with the new Timex Marlin things are going in an interesting direction. Could it be that Orient and Timex will become the trend setting watches for some other mid range swiss brands to follow? I love a nice sub-seconds watch. It's almost there for me. How amazing this watch could be if they were to tweak it by removing the automatic to make it even thinner, if it were a little less wide and if the seconds register was less close to the centre of the dial.

I'm split on the date window...I know most people feel it distracts from the dial but for someone who legit uses his watches for time, the date window is highly valuable. It would be cool if they actually put the date window inside the small seconds dial and it'll preserve the symmetry of the watch.
