Watch Bambino "Open Heart" RA-AG0026E

The Watch
Founded in 1950 by Shogoro Yoshida, Japanese watchmaker Orient has always crafted highly accomplished timepieces - with in-house movements as a true hallmark of quality. To further cement this quality and expertise, Orient has been an exclusive Seiko subsidiary since 2009. That dedication to craft shines through across the entire Orient watch collection, with every model offering a unique design and construction. This particular model comes from the Bambino collection, a fan favorite that pairs flawless production with a harmonious design at an exceptional price-to-quality ratio. Featuring a stainless steel case measuring 40.5mm in diameter and 12mm in thickness, it wears comfortably on the wrist. Its domed mineral crystal enhances the watch's polished, elegant look. The time is set via a crown at the traditional 3 o'clock position, which can also be used to manually wind the movement when needed. To end on a tranquil note: the caseback is both fitted and transparent, giving you the privilege of watching the rotor in motion - a meditative, endlessly mesmerizing view of time being measured, second by second.

The Dial
This Orient watch treats you to an exceptional dial. The first thing that catches your eye is its striking green color, elevated by a sunray finish that creates a mesmerizing play of light as it shifts with the ambient lighting. Green absorbs light beautifully, so you'll discover a new shade with every flick of the wrist. Three silver hands sweep across the dial for hours, minutes, and seconds. Applied silver hour markers ring the dial, with Roman numerals at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. A white minute track adds precision at the edges. An open-heart display revealing the movement beneath will captivate you with its blend of poetry and technical artistry - guaranteed to turn heads. The Japanese maison signs its work under the 12 o'clock index with its logo, while the discreet "Water Resistant" mention sits at 6 o'clock.

The Movement
Nestled efficiently inside the case is a Japanese-made automatic movement driving the hours, minutes, and seconds hands. Specifically, the caliber F6T22 is produced by Orient itself (in collaboration with Seiko Epson) - a strong mark of quality, as these in-house movements are renowned for their precision and reliability. The movement oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 40 hours. Note that the movement features a hacking seconds function, which stops the seconds hand completely when setting the time.

The Bracelet
To wear this watch in style and comfort, a silver stainless steel bracelet extends from the case. The bracelet offers remarkable quality for a watch at this price point and fastens with a butterfly deployment clasp. The lug width on this model is 21mm.

Water Resistance
With a water resistance of 3 atmospheres - equivalent to 30 meters - this watch is not built for aquatic environments. You can keep it on while washing your hands or tackling light household tasks involving water, but the Ocarat team strongly recommends leaving it on your nightstand before showering or bathing, and locking it in the hotel safe before taking a dip in the pool or the turquoise sea at your vacation destination.
