The Orient Bambino RA-AC0M04Y30B is the Version 7 dress automatic for someone who wants a champagne dial without a 42 mm case. It is a regular-production watch, not a numbered limited edition. On the wrist it reads as a quiet office piece: applied stick indexes, a date at 3, and a brown leather strap.
People searching for an Orient Bambino in Australia often land on the larger 40.5 mm versions first. This reference is the smaller one. Orient lists the case at 38.4 mm wide, 12.5 mm thick, and 44 mm lug to lug, with 20 mm lugs. That is the same generation as the white RA-AC0M03S30B, not the older 40.5 mm Bambino and not the small-seconds RA-AP01 line.
What the dial actually shows
The dial is champagne, a warm cream rather than a white or a gold sunburst. Hour markers are applied sticks, not Roman numerals. The listing photos show blue-toned steel hands; Orient’s sheet describes them as stainless steel hands. A date window sits at 3. Below 12 is the Orient crest and “Automatic”. Above 6 is the script “Water Resistant”. There is no small-seconds subdial and no power-reserve hand.
Some catalogue photos still print an older movement line on the dial. That stamp is not a description of the watch we send. Current non-Star Orient production is marked Made in Thailand.
Why this size is the point
- 38.4 mm suits a shirt cuff better than the 40.5 mm Version 6 and the 42 mm Version 4.
- 44 mm lug-to-lug keeps the case from spanning a smaller wrist.
- Brown crocodile-pattern leather and a pin buckle match the dress brief. This SKU is not the mesh-bracelet Bambino.
- Calibre F6724 winds on the wrist, can be hand-wound, and hacks so you can set the time to the second.
- An exhibition case back is part of the Orient USA specification. One gallery frame is filed under a different reference, RA-AP0105Y30B, so do not treat that photo as this unit’s case back.

Who it suits
Buy this if you want a dress automatic that disappears under a cuff and you prefer leather to mesh. Skip it if you want a dive watch, a full Roman dial, or a bracelet. The mesh option in this family is the larger Bambino Version 6 RA-AC0020G30B, at 40.5 mm. For how the 36 mm, 38.4 mm, and 40.5 mm cases differ, see the Bambino 36 size guide and the Orient Bambino Australia buying guide. More dress Orients are in Orient classic watches.

Frequently asked questions
What movement does the Orient Bambino RA-AC0M04Y30B use?
Orient calibre F6724. It is an automatic with hand-winding and hacking, and a power reserve of about 40 hours. It is the date calibre used across this Bambino generation, not the hand-wind small-seconds F6222 and not a Seiko 4R movement.
What size is the Orient Bambino Version 7?
38.4 mm wide, 12.5 mm thick, 44 mm from lug to lug, and 20 mm between the lugs. Those figures are from Orient’s current sheet for RA-AC0M04Y30B. Do not use a rounded “38 mm” or copy the 40.5 mm size from an older Bambino.
Is the RA-AC0M04Y30B a Roman numeral dial?
No. This champagne reference uses applied stick indexes. Roman numerals at 12 and 6 belong on other Bambino faces, including the mesh Version 6 RA-AC0020G30B. If you want Romans, do not order this SKU from the title alone.
Can I swim with this Bambino?
No. Water resistance is 30 metres, and the crown is push-pull. That covers rain and washing your hands. Take it off for the shower, a pool, or the ocean.
Is the RA-AC0M04Y30B made in Japan?
No. This is current non-Star Orient production, and the watch we send is marked Made in Thailand. A catalogue dial can still show an older “Movement Japan” line. That photo is not a promise about the unit we dispatch. Orient is a Japanese brand. The calibre name is F6724. We do not claim the movement is still made in Japan.
Where can I buy the Orient Bambino RA-AC0M04Y30B in Australia?
Chronospride lists this reference for delivery in Australia when it is in stock. Each watch is inspected before dispatch. Eligible orders ship free Australia-wide. Cover is Chronospride’s 12 months warranty, handled by our team, not a manufacturer service-centre claim. Terms are on the authenticity and warranty page.
