Orient Bambino 3 Owner Review : Endearing, glamorous and bluffing

This Bambino is part of the v3 range, the range includes the v1, very classic, the v2 in vintage style this v3 and the v4 in a style close to the v1. You should know that in each range there are its own variations, we could almost say that the Bambino is a "brand" in its own right from the Orient! This Bambino v3 is a Bauhaus style watch, this style was created in 1919, by Mr Walter Gropius. He founded the Staatliches Bauhaus in Wismar, a school of modern art with the aim of combining art and craftsmanship. The name Bauhaus is derived from the "Bauhütten" 'medieval', associations of craftsmen ... This type of watch is intended to be minimalist, modern with sober elegance, this v3 is available in 4 types of dial: blue, white, black and this gray version that I find very nice. The dial has 4 applied indexes at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock, the others are painted white. These indexes cross a very lightly loaded railway. The baton-style hands are invited on this sunray gray dial that likes to play with the light. The mineral glass is beautiful because it is domed as desired, the watch measures 11mm thick by 40.5 wide. Orient Watch has implemented its "In-house" movement, the Caliber F67. This movement benefits from manual winding and stop-seconds. The movement of the watch benefits from 40 hours of power reserve. The stop-seconds, for its part, allows a precise measurement of the gain-loss ratio of the watch by causing the total stop of the second when setting the time of the watch. This case has on the right side, a notched crown with a polished face engraved with two lions emblem of the watchmaking house. The case back is screwed and engraved with the logo of the Japanese brand. This watch despite its 40.5mm is worn like a much larger watch because the dial is larger than some watches. With a very thin case on the sides, the 36mm dial remains larger than a 45mm wide Seiko Padi prospex with its 33mm dial! So be careful with small wrists. I took a photo on my 19.5cm wrist to give you an idea of the rendering. Orient has just released a 38mm Bambino for smaller wrists. The watch comes with matte black leather decorated with gray stitching on the sides. This slightly "rough" leather is not very supple and does not seem to be of very good quality. You can change it but it is not to the current standard, it is 21mm. This watch with its refined style gives a lot by its finish and its price and will seem more than it is worth. A little gem that will elegantly serve its owner in a formal or casual chic style!
