The Orient Bambino 36 RA-BB0102E is the green no-date compact: 36.4 mm steel, a muted green dial without a date window, and the familiar Bambino dome. It is aimed at wrists that find 40.5 mm dress watches wide, without giving up the collection’s curved crystal and simple three-hand layout.
Dauphine hands and applied markers sit on a green dial that Helveti and other EU retailers describe as muted rather than neon. The case is silver-tone stainless steel, not gold PVD. Water resistance is 30 metres. Inside is Orient’s F6524 automatic — hand-winding, hacking, roughly 40 hours of reserve — visible through the exhibition back.
Who the RA-BB0102E suits
Choose this if you want a smaller Bambino with colour. Lug-to-lug is about 42.2 mm and the strap is 18 mm brown leather with a crocodile pattern and quick-release bars, so it wears closer to a classic dress watch than the older long-lug 40.5 mm pieces. It works with a shirt or a knit; it is not a dive or field watch.
Skip it if you need a date, sapphire, lume, or swimming-safe water resistance. For the wider Orient catalogue see Orient watches. For other dress automatics in this family, use Orient Classic and the Orient Bambino Australia buying guide.

- Domed mineral crystal
- Exhibition case back over the F6524 movement

- Listed weight around 53 g
Movement: Orient F6524
RA-BB0102E shares the F6524 no-date automatic with the rest of this 36 mm line (and with the recent 38 mm no-date Bambinos). It is not F6724, which is the date movement on many 40.5 mm Bambinos. F6524 self-winds, accepts crown winding, and hacks for cleaner time-setting. Orient’s published figures: about 40 hours reserve, 22 jewels, 21,600 vph, factory accuracy around +25 to −15 seconds per day.
No date also means a cleaner green dial. There is no window interrupting the sunburst, which is the main visual reason to pick this reference over a green date Bambino in a larger case.

How it compares
The gold-tone white-dial sibling is RA-BB0101S — same case architecture, different finish. A 38.4 mm green no-date Bambino (RA-BB0001E) is larger on the wrist and uses a 20 mm strap; this 36.4 mm RA-BB0102E is the smaller cut of that idea. Older green date Bambinos at 40.5 mm (for example RA-AC0023E) use F6724 and 21 mm lugs — different generation, different wear.

Frequently asked questions
What size is the Orient Bambino 36 RA-BB0102E?
36.4 mm diameter, about 12.3 mm thick, about 42.2 mm lug-to-lug, 18 mm strap. It is the compact Bambino 36 case, not the 38.4 mm or 40.5 mm families.
Does the RA-BB0102E have a date?
No. It is a no-date three-hand watch. The green dial is left uninterrupted.
What movement is inside the RA-BB0102E?
Orient F6524 automatic, Japan-made, with manual winding and hacking seconds, about 40 hours of power reserve and 22 jewels. Do not confuse it with F6724 on dated Bambinos.
Is the green dial very bright?
Retail descriptions call it a muted or subdued green, not a loud sports green. In person it reads as a dress colour under the dome, with the usual Bambino play of light on a curved dial.
Can I swim with the Orient Bambino 36 RA-BB0102E?
No. 30 m / 3 bar is splash and rain only. The mineral crystal and leather strap are also a poor match for swimming.
