The Orient Bambino RA-AC0022S10B is the Version 6 classic dress automatic with a clean white dial, blue-toned hands, and a black leather strap. It sits in the familiar 40.5 mm Bambino case with a domed mineral crystal—easy on the wrist for office, evenings, and weekend wear when you want mechanical character without a heavy sports case.
This reference is a strong answer if you are searching for an Orient Bambino with a bright white dial and leather rather than mesh or bracelet. Japanese in-house calibre F6724 brings hand-winding and hacking seconds—features many buyers expect from a first serious automatic dress watch.
Why Choose the RA-AC0022S10B Bambino
- White dial with classic markers — Roman numerals at 12 and 6, stick indices elsewhere, date at 3 o’clock for daily readability.
- Blue-accented hands — a quiet contrast against the white dial that photographs and wears with more character than plain silver hands alone.
- Calibre F6724 — Orient in-house automatic, ~22 jewels, ~40-hour power reserve, hand-wind and hacking seconds.
- Dress proportions — about 40.5 mm diameter, ~11.8–12.3 mm thick depending on measurement method, ~46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 21 mm lug width.
- Domed mineral crystal — the signature Bambino curved glass that catches light at an angle.
- Black leather strap — pin-buckle leather suited to shirts and smart-casual outfits; 21 mm strap width matches the lugs.
- 30 m water resistance — splash and rain safe; not for swimming or showering.
Who It Suits
Choose RA-AC0022S10B if you want a traditional white-dial Bambino on leather at the standard 40.5 mm size. Smaller wrists that prefer the compact 38.4 mm Bambino line may look at no-date or small-seconds 38 mm variants instead. If you need 200 m dive capability, look at Orient Kamasu / Mako rather than this Classic dress model.

Wearing and Care
Wind the crown gently if the watch has sat unused, set the time with the crown pulled out (hacking holds the seconds), and push the crown fully in before wear. Avoid operating the crown underwater. Keep the leather strap dry when possible and wipe the case after contact with sweat or salt air. For accuracy expectations, mechanical dress movements are typically regulated to everyday wearable tolerances rather than COSC chronometer specs—normal for this category.
