help Orient Bambino Gen 2 FAQ
What movement does the Orient Bambino Gen 2 use?
The Orient Bambino Gen 2 is powered by the in-house Orient Caliber F672 automatic movement, which is visible through an exhibition case back. This reliable movement features both hand-winding and hacking seconds, which were notably missing in the original Gen 1 Bambino.
What is the lug width for the Orient Bambino Gen 2?
The Orient Bambino Gen 2 features a 21mm lug width, which can make finding perfectly sized aftermarket leather straps slightly tricky. Many owners squeeze in a slightly tapered 20mm or 22mm strap to achieve their desired look.
Is the crystal on the Orient Bambino Gen 2 scratch-resistant sapphire?
No, to keep the price accessible for entry-level automatic buyers, the Bambino Gen 2 uses a domed mineral crystal rather than sapphire. While the domed shape gives it a beautiful vintage aesthetic, it is more prone to daily scratches.
How long is the power reserve on the Orient Bambino Gen 2?
The F672 movement inside the Orient Bambino Gen 2 features a power reserve of approximately 40 hours when fully wound. This means you can take the watch off on a Friday evening and it will likely still be ticking on Monday morning.
