When a watch nerd is asked for the best and least expensive mechanical watch, one of the brands he will mention is “Orient”. This is a Japanese brand dating back to 1950, and it is currently owned by Seiko.
The Orient models that are best known among connoisseurs are the “Orient Mako” (a divers watch), and this one, the “Orient Bambino”. The Bambino has been relased in various versions, colors and sizes. This is version 4 of the Bambino. It’s 42mm, has a date and domed crystal. Version 4 is also available in green (gold case), grey and black, but the nicest is the blue Bambino (model AC08004D). The dial has a beautiful “sunray” effect that really makes it stand out.
If you want a high quality dress watch that doesn’t break the bank, you can’t go wrong with this one.
