The Orient Bambino FAC00005W0 is the quiet white-dial Version 2. Silver stick indices, silver hands, and a dark brown leather strap. No Roman numerals, no coloured hands, and no quartz module. If you want the Bambino that still reads as a plain dress watch from across a table, this is the reference.
On the dial, applied faceted indices sit on a white ground. The hands are silver and dauphine-shaped. A date window sits at 3 o’clock. Below 12 is the Orient crest and the word Automatic. Above 6, the script reads Water Resistant, which is the usual tell that this is a second-generation Bambino rather than an earlier Water Resist dial. The crystal is domed mineral glass. The case is polished stainless steel, 40.5 mm across and 11.8 mm thick, with 21 mm lugs and a push-pull crown at 3. The strap is dark brown leather with a crocodile pattern and contrast stitching, closed with a pin buckle.
It suits a shirt cuff, a jacket, and ordinary office days. At 40.5 mm it is not a small vintage piece and not a diver. Thirty metres of water resistance covers rain and handwashing. It is not a swimming watch. The polished case marks if you knock it. That is the trade for the dress finish.
Who the FAC00005W0 is for
Buy this one if you want the cleaner Bambino face. The sibling FAC00009W0 uses the same case and movement, but puts Roman numerals, a minute track, and blue hands on the dial. The FAC00005W0 leaves that out. It is the better pick when you already wear patterned shirts or when you want the watch to disappear under a cuff.

Those case figures match the store attributes and the usual retailer sheets for this reference. A lug-to-lug figure is stored on the product from a different Bambino page, so it is not repeated here.
Wearing and setting it
The F6724 winds from the wrist and can also be hand-wound if it has stopped. Pull the crown to the time-setting position and the seconds hand stops, so you can set it to a known time. Avoid quick-setting the date in the late evening and early morning. For this calibre the usual window to skip is about 8 pm to 4 am, when the date mechanism is already moving.
Thirty metres means the crown and case are sealed against splashes. Do not shower or swim with it. If the strap wears out, a 21 mm leather strap is the direct replacement. The lugs are fixed, not quick-release on the original strap.
Questions about the Orient Bambino FAC00005W0
What movement does the Orient Bambino FAC00005W0 use?
It uses Orient’s in-house F6724 automatic. That is a date-only calibre with 22 jewels, hacking seconds, hand-winding, and about 40 hours of power reserve. It is the movement used across the second-generation Bambino, not the older 48743 of the first generation, and not a quartz movement.
Is the FAC00005W0 a quartz or sports watch?
No. The dial is marked Automatic, the store movement attribute is Automatic, and the reference is sold as an F6724 dress watch. The page address still contains the words quartz and sports from an old import title. Those words do not describe this watch. It is a polished steel dress watch on leather, with 30 metres of water resistance.
What is the water resistance of the FAC00005W0?
30 metres, or 3 bar. That covers rain and washing your hands. It is not rated for swimming, showers, or diving. The dial script says Water Resistant, which on a Bambino marks the second generation. It does not mean the watch is a diver.
How does the FAC00005W0 differ from the FAC00009W0?
The case, strap width, crystal, and F6724 movement are the same family. The dial is not. FAC00005W0 has a white dial with silver stick indices and silver hands, and no outer minute numerals. FAC00009W0 has Roman numerals at the even hours, baton markers at the odd hours, blue hands, and a railroad minute track. Pick FAC00005W0 for the quieter face.
Is the FAC00005W0 suitable as an everyday dress watch?
Yes, for desk, commute, and smart-casual wear. The 40.5 mm case and 11.8 mm thickness sit under most shirt cuffs. It is less suited to heavy wristwear, wet work, or anyone who wants a rotating bezel. The polished case will pick up fine marks. That is normal for this finish.
