Want Bambino dress styling with set-and-forget accuracy and a warmer gold-and-white look? The Orient Bambino RA-WK0001S (full code RA-WK0001S10B) sits in Orient’s Classic & Simple Style 38 solar range: curved dial, domed crystal, slender lugs, and a compact 38.4 mm case built for cuff-friendly wear.
This is not a hand-wound or automatic Bambino. It uses Orient’s solar-powered quartz calibre VS213, which converts light into energy. Fully charged, reserve is about six months, with typical quartz accuracy around +20 to −20 seconds per month — ideal if you like the Bambino silhouette but prefer low-maintenance timekeeping.
Why the RA-WK0001S stands out
- White dial with gold-tone accents — bright, formal face with Roman and index markers that read cleanly indoors and outdoors.
- Gold colour plated steel case — warmer finish than plain silver Bambinos, still in the classic 38.4 mm dress proportion.
- Compact geometry — roughly 38.4 mm diameter, 43.5 mm lug-to-lug, about 10.5–11 mm thick, 20 mm lugs.
- Domed mineral crystal — signature Bambino curve that adds depth over a flat glass.
- Ivory plant-based leather strap — Orient’s synthetic apple-leather style strap; light strap colour frames the white dial.
- No-date layout — balanced three-hand face without a date window interrupting the dial.
- 30 m water resistance — everyday splash protection, not swim-rated.
Who it suits
Pick the RA-WK0001S if you want a lighter, dressier Bambino aesthetic, prefer gold-tone over steel-only cases, or need accurate solar quartz for office and evening wear without winding. It is especially appealing on smaller to medium wrists where a 40–42 mm automatic can feel large.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Orient Bambino RA-WK0001S automatic?
No. RA-WK0001S is solar quartz (VS213). It looks like a classic mechanical Bambino but runs on a light-charged quartz movement rather than a mainspring.
How do I charge the RA-WK0001S?
Expose the dial to sunlight or bright indoor light. Avoid leaving it face-down in a dark drawer for months. A full charge supports about six months of running time under normal conditions.
What is the case size of the RA-WK0001S?
38.4 mm wide, about 43.5 mm lug-to-lug, and roughly 10.5–11 mm thick. That compact Classic Style 38 geometry is designed for comfortable all-day dress wear.
Is the crystal sapphire or mineral?
Domed mineral (box crystal / inorganic glass), matching the Bambino family look. It is more scratch-resistant than acrylic, though sapphire is harder still on some other Orient lines.
Can I swim with the RA-WK0001S?
No. Water resistance is 30 m (3 bar) for splash and rain only. Do not swim, dive, or shower with the watch, and keep the crown pushed in.
