The Orient Bambino Version 9 RA-AK0803Y10B is the champagne sun-and-moon dress watch in the modern Bambino line: Roman markers, a day/night sub-dial, day-of-week and date, and Orient’s F6B24 automatic under an exhibition case back. If you searched for Orient Bambino sun and moon or a Version 9 classic with warmer dial tones, this is the reference to check — not a diver dump and not a different SKU’s meta copy.
Why the RA-AK0803Y10B stands out
Most Bambinos keep time and date. Version 9 adds a readable day/night register so the watch feels more “instrument dress” without losing the collection’s polished case and domed crystal. Champagne dial colour works with brown or black leather and softens the steel for evening wear while staying legible in office light.
- Calibre F6B24 automatic — hand-winding and hacking, about 40 hours reserve
- Sun-and-moon / day-night sub-register plus day of week and date
- 41.5 mm stainless steel case — about 14.2 mm thick, roughly 47 mm lug-to-lug, 21 mm lug width
- Champagne dial with Roman-style markers and blue-tone accents on many production examples
- Domed mineral crystal and exhibition case back
- Leather strap with buckle and 30 m water resistance
Who it is for
Buyers who want more personality than a three-hand Bambino but still need a leather dress watch will land here. It also maps cleanly to “orient sun and moon” and “orient bambino” searches when the listing is honest about champagne dial and F6B24 specs. Larger wrists handle 41.5 mm easily; smaller wrists should try the lug-to-lug (about 47 mm) before assuming it wears like a 38 mm Classic.

Setting the day/night complication
Set the hands with AM/PM in mind so the sun-and-moon register matches morning or evening. Use the crown positions as described in the Orient manual for day and date — avoid forcing the calendar near midnight. Once the watch is worn daily, the automatic winding keeps the complication advancing with normal wear.
Wearing and care
Treat the 30 m rating as splash resistance only. Keep the leather strap dry, wipe the case after humidity, and service the movement on a normal mechanical schedule if you wear it every day. The exhibition back is for viewing the F6B24; it is not an invitation to open the case.

Frequently asked questions
What movement is inside the Orient Bambino RA-AK0803Y10B?
Orient calibre F6B24 — an in-house automatic with hand-winding, hacking seconds, and roughly 40 hours of power reserve. It drives the time, day, date, and day/night register.
Does the RA-AK0803Y10B have a sun and moon complication?
Yes. Version 9 on this reference includes a sun-and-moon style 24-hour sub-register alongside day and date, which is the main difference from simpler Bambino Classic three-hand models.
What are the case dimensions?
About 41.5 mm diameter, 14.2 mm thickness, 47 mm lug-to-lug, and 21 mm lug width — a larger dress case than the 38.4 mm or 40.5 mm Bambino Classics.
Is the champagne dial Version 9 good as an everyday watch?
Yes for office, travel, and evenings. Water resistance is only 30 m, so leave it off for swimming. The leather strap and polished steel suit smart-casual more than heavy outdoor work.
How is this different from an Orient Kamasu or Kanno diver?
This is a dress Bambino with mineral crystal, leather strap, and 30 m resistance. Kamasu/Kanno divers use sports cases, higher water resistance, and different movements (for example F6922 on many Kamasu models). Meta that mentions Pepsi bezels or F6922 on this page would be wrong for RA-AK0803Y10B.
