About this deal

Other than the Orient Multi Year Calendar released in 1976, the 70s and 80s were rather unremarkable for the brand. It wasn’t until 1991 that Orient produced another innovative design: The Orient Mon Bijou.

To this day, Orient remains a subsidiary of Seiko Epson. Although they have been a subsidiary for the last 2 decades, it hasn’t deterred them from making their own statement pieces and retaining their own identity. The Orient Star collection has put forth some impressive features such as higher power reserve, power indicators, and advanced watch mechanisms. Orient vs Seiko: Comparison of Dive, Chronograph, Field, Dress, and Premium Watches Dive Watches This advancement was a breakthrough in the watch industry. This sped up and enabled the production of more accurate and cost-efficient pieces. As these are premium investments, most watch collectors and enthusiasts go for a watch they resonate with the most or the timepiece that represents their identity.The stopwatch accuracy is in increments of 1-second and can measure up to 30 minutes. The tachymeter bezel is located at the middle bottom window. There aren’t any Arabic numerals, unlike set A’s watches. The lines aren’t too thin and are similar to the ones in version 4. The Bambino is one of Orient’s best collections, no question about it. We’d even say it’s the most popular. It has beautiful dress watches, with a vast selection to choose from.

Orient Mako II: A cheaper and smart option for those into recreational water activities. A good investment with sleek design and reliable quality for any watch enthusiast All versions feature similar watch cases and a domed crystal that gives the Bambino a classic look. They also come in different dial colors with the Version 4 sunbursts and the Version 2 in cream being very popular. Internal Difference Between Orient Bambino GenerationsThis timepiece from the Orient Star collection also has a partially skeletonized dial which is cut stylishly to show the internal mechanism of the watch. Not only does Orient top the charts for cost-friendly watches but also in the premium or high-end timepieces. Orient is the more sensible option for those interested in premium watches. The sunray effect compliments the metal bands. Although stainless steel is used, the watch isn’t that heavy. The watch is water-resistant, which is a must-have. If you guessed it, the Bambino is resistant up to a 100 feet (30 m). This isn’t a bad depth for a dress watch, so you won’t see us complaining. Truth be told, the two generations aren’t that different. It’s just that Orient, being a perfectionist, edited a few things here and there. They’re treating the line with a lot of love.

Seiko may have been present for a long time but Orient has done a great job in disrupting the trend.Seiko SKX007: Professional divers and those engaged in heavy SCUBA activities. Great piece for avid fans of Seiko since there is limited availability in the market Chronograph Watches It comes with a domed window. This gives its face a fish-bowl like look. It certainly stands out next to other watches. That’s not all, its dial is domed too, so the effect is juiced up. There are 4 watches in the Small Seconds line up. They have a sub dial as their distinguishing feature. They’re the only Bambinos to come with it, so this is neat. In terms of the Open-heart line up, it’s full of skeleton watches. A skeleton dial and Bauhaus design don’t seem to go together, but the collection makes it work.
