Orient has released four new Orient Bambino models with new dial colours that suit more casual settings, and a model in a limited-edition of 9,500 pieces commemorating the brand’s 75th anniversary.
It has also released three new Orient Bambino models featuring day and night displays with sun and moon designs, and a model commemorating the 75th anniversary of Orient in a limited-edition of 5,500 pieces.
The Classic Collection represents the traditional style of Orient’s mechanical watches. Orient Bambino is a popular series that has been a bestseller around the world, representing everything that is Orient.
The series is known for its traditional classical curved dial, a domed glass with a retro feel and delicate case design with slender lugs. The new model adopts slightly unconventional colours to give the watches a more casual appearance.
The four new dial colours are green, navy blue and bordeaux with sunburst finishing, and the first beige Orient Bambino. Enhancing the aesthetics of the dial are pink gold, yellow gold and silver-coloured roman numerals and hands that are carefully colour co-ordinated to complement each of the nuanced dial colours, transforming the traditionally classical Orient Bambino watch into a fashionable timepiece.
Also released is an Orient Bambino featuring a day and night display with sun and moon design, showing the passing of time with a sun and moon disk that rotates once every 24-hours. The asymmetric placement of the day and night display with sun and moon design, and the day of the week display with a day hand, coupled with the sunburst green, navy blue and bordeaux dials enhance the qualities of the watch dial.
In contrast to the more casual new releases are the limited-edition models commemorating the 75th anniversary of Orient: Orient Bambino (9,500 pieces) and Orient Bambino featuring a day and night display with sun and moon design (5,500 pieces). In celebration of 75 years of Orient selling in-house mechanical watches around the world, the two models have an exceptional vintage look with the 1950s Orient logo written in cursive, white dial with pink gold-coloured indices and blue hands, and a retro-looking beige nubuck leather strap.
The see-through case back revealing the mechanical movement is marked “Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary” and engraved with a limited-edition serial number. They also come with an exchangeable calf leather strap, adding to the celebratory feel of the anniversary models.
Powered by automatic in-house movements providing stable accuracy and a power reserve of 40 hours, the new models offer additional convenience with the easy exchange strap system which is being adopted for the first time for Orient Bambino. The leather strap is easily detachable by moving the lever of the spring bar, allowing the wearer to change the appearance of the watch depending on their mood.
