Orient Bambino 38 No Date: green elegance with nothing to hide

The 2026 Bambino 38 deliberately subtracts an element many modern watches take for granted: the date window. Orient's new green RA-BB0001E exchanges the usual three-o'clock aperture for an uninterrupted dial, allowing its alternating Roman numerals and slender baton markers to form a complete ring. Rose-gold-coloured hands and markers make the deep green face feel warmer than conventional steel dress watches.

Its 38.4mm polished case, 44mm lug-to-lug distance and domed mineral crystal keep the original Bambino's vintage-inspired character while bringing the proportions into a more versatile contemporary size. A brown 20mm leather strap with quick-release mechanism finishes the understated look.

More importantly, Orient developed the no-date F6524 automatic calibre for this new generation. It can be hand-wound and its seconds hand stops during setting. A display caseback reveals the rotor; around 40 hours of running time and 30m water resistance make this a dress watch intended for ordinary days, not water sports.
