Orient 'Bambino Version 5' Stainless Steel Japanese Automatic/Hand-Winding Dress Watch

I heard that most designer watches are made by Swiss companies in China with $15 Chinese time pieces. I wanted to avoid Chinese products as much as possible so I investigated watches with Japanese parts. This fit the bill. Looks nice. Seems to keep time well. The booklet says that time keeping may not be as accurate as non-mechanical watches and that excessive vibration and excessive "rest" time impacts time keeping. Not a concern for me.

Me gusto mucho el reloj, es muy elegante y a la ves minimalista, lo recomiendo ya que sus materiales son de excelente calidad

I am really pleased with this purchase. The watch is far better looking than the illustration on the Amazon product page. Some differences being the hands are jet black rather than blue. They only show subtle blueing on the edges of the hands when tilted in certain light to hint that they have been tempered. Also the minutes hand is far more slender and elegant than the picture, and the face is an attractive pearly white rather than stark white. Its a light watch, and its 40.5mm case is just about at the size limit for a medium 7 inch wrist like mine. It is just so easy to read with a quick glance. My favourite aspects are way the minute and second hands are curved to hug the bevel of the watch face, the way the tiny golden dots on the hour markers shimmer, the strap has a fine suede finish on the inside, and it has a workable accuracy of just plus 9 seconds per day. Fully recommended if you like the simple design, because it looks even better when you see it on your wrist.

as far as cheap watches goes this is up with the best. my only complaint is the mineral crystal instead of sapphire. the movement is accurate to within 3 seconds a day on average. the worst i saw was it was off by 10. wears great on my giant wrist. gets no compliments from anyone, thats a good thing. its not made to be stupid and blingy. just elegant and nice for $200. very happy

I like orient, this is my second bambino. Great looking watch. The hands are a very dark blue, not like the bright blue pictured.
