The Orient Bambino RA-AP0104S30B is the compact small-seconds Bambino: a 38.4 mm steel dress automatic with a silver sunray dial, running seconds at 6 o’clock, and a date at 3. Domed mineral crystal and cleaner proportions make it an easy daily watch when the larger 40.5 mm Bambinos feel oversized.
Power comes from Orient’s in-house caliber F6222—automatic with hand-winding and hacking seconds—visible through an exhibition case back. Lug-to-lug is about 44 mm with 20 mm lugs, so the watch wears smaller than older full-size Bambino cases while keeping the classic leather-strap dress look.
Why the RA-AP0104S30B small seconds stands out
- Compact 38.4 mm case — more wrist-friendly than classic 40.5 mm Bambino dress sizes
- Small-seconds layout — subdial at 6 o’clock plus date at 3 for a clean, vintage-leaning face
- F6222 automatic — Japanese in-house movement with hand-winding, hacking, and exhibition back
- Domed mineral crystal — signature Bambino curvature without a heavy tool-watch profile
- Silver sunray dial — versatile dress colour that pairs with most straps and outfits
Who it suits
Buyers who want an Orient Bambino with small seconds, prefer a shorter lug-to-lug for smaller or mid-size wrists, and still want mechanical winding and an open case back. Water resistance is 30 m—everyday rain and hand washing only, not swimming.

Frequently asked questions
What movement does the Orient Bambino RA-AP0104S30B use?
It uses Orient’s in-house F6222 automatic caliber with hand-winding and hacking seconds. The movement is visible through the exhibition case back.
How big is the RA-AP0104S30B on the wrist?
Case diameter is 38.4 mm with about 44 mm lug-to-lug and roughly 12 mm thickness. It wears smaller and shorter than many 40.5 mm Bambino dress models.
Does the RA-AP0104S30B have a small seconds hand?
Yes. Seconds run on a subdial at 6 o’clock rather than as a central sweep seconds hand, with the date window at 3 o’clock.
What is the water resistance of the Bambino RA-AP0104S30B?
30 metres (3 ATM). Suitable for rain and hand washing. Not intended for swimming, showering, or diving.
Is this a good Bambino if I find 40.5 mm too large?
