The Orient Bambino is one of those watches that consistently appears in those “Best Watches under [enter price bracket here]”. Why? Well, it’s the fact that it’s made in-house by Orient themselves with their own movement (who are actually part of the Seiko Group), has a classy timeless design, and is well known as looking as if it’s worth much more than its modest price tag suggests.
I surprised myself really that it’s taken this long to check one out. I finally cracked and thought it was about time to find out what all the fuss was about. Let’s check it out in closer detail to see if it lives up to its shining reputation.

If only they had either a sapphire or acrylic crystal, I’d have owned more than one by now. They’re a lovely, well priced watch, with their one big flaw (for me) being the mineral crystal.

Re: Orient Bambino review
A good review with excellent pictures . I agree with , Gary , they are lovely looking watches , but I also feel they would be better with an acrylic or sapphire crystal .

Re: Orient Bambino review
I’ve owned my Bambino about a year now and it’s my every day work/dress watch. I love it.
I’d say the review is spot on with every point.
The Bambino certainly punches above it’s weight and is a great all-around affordable dress watch.
