The Orient Bambino RA-AP0003S10B is the ivory small-seconds dress watch, not a stick-only Bambino and not the later 38.4 mm small-seconds case. The store SKU is RA-AP0003S10B. Export sheets often print RA-AP0003S30B for the same watch. It is out of stock. The notify link on this page is the way to hear if it comes back.
Dial, hands, and strap
Orient’s sheet calls the dial ivory. The listing photos match that: a cream dial, not antique silver and not yellow. Applied Arabic numerals sit at 12, 3, 6 and 9. The other hours are stick indexes. Silver dauphine hands tell the hours and minutes. There is no central seconds hand. The small seconds subdial is at 6. The date window is at 3, just inside the numeral. Under the 12 is the Orient crest, then ORIENT and Automatic.
The strap in every front, side, and clasp photo is dark brown crocodile-grain leather with pale contrast stitching and a light lining. The clasp photo is a pin buckle engraved ORIENT. One case-back frame shows the lining printed GENUINE. There is no steel bracelet and no spare strap on the official sheet.
Case and movement
Orient lists a stainless steel case, 40.5 mm wide, 45.5 mm lug to lug, and 12.0 mm thick, with 21 mm lugs. Weight is 53 g. The wrist range on the official sheet is 150 to 190 mm. The crown is a pull-out crown at 3, not a screw-down diver crown. The side photo shows a slim polished case and a high crystal. Orient’s sheet says crystal on the front and crystal on the back. Retailer sheets call the front domed mineral. It is not sapphire. An older line on this page called the case 43 mm. That figure included the crown. The case width is 40.5 mm.
The calibre is F6222, not F6724. A few shops still print F6724 on this reference. Orient’s own sheet, the case-back photo, and the retailer sheets that name the small seconds all say F6222. It is automatic and hand-winding, rated +25 to −15 seconds per day, with over 40 hours of power reserve and 24 jewels. Retailer sheets for this reference also list a hacking seconds hand, which matches the seconds-halt note on the old listing. The beat rate previously published here was 21,600 vibrations per hour. Orient’s public sheet does not print a beat rate, so that figure stays as a cited rate rather than an official line.
The case back is a screw-down exhibition back. The gallery frame shows the rotor and a movement code in the F622 family, plus an older origin stamp and a serial engraving. That serial belongs to the catalogue photo. It is not a number you can choose. Orient’s sheet lists 24 jewels. An older count of 22 on this listing is the one to ignore.

Questions buyers ask
What movement does the Orient Bambino RA-AP0003S10B use?
Calibre F6222. It is automatic, it can be hand-wound, and retailer sheets for this reference list a hacking seconds hand. Orient rates it at +25 to −15 seconds per day, with over 40 hours of power reserve and 24 jewels. It is not the F6724 used in the ordinary date Bambinos, and it is not the open-heart F6T22.
Where is the small seconds?
At 6 o’clock, in its own subdial. The hand at the centre is hours and minutes only. The date is at 3.
Is the dial silver, ivory, or beige?
Ivory. That is Orient’s colour name, and the photos are a cream dial. Older copy on this page called it antique silver. The stored face-colour field still says beige. Neither of those is the name to use.
What size is the RA-AP0003S10B?
40.5 mm wide, 45.5 mm from lug to lug, 12.0 mm thick, 21 mm lugs. It wears like a classic dress watch, not like a 43 mm sports watch. The 43 mm figure in the old description included the crown.
Can you swim with this Bambino?
No. Water resistance is 30 m. Rain and handwashing are fine. Showers, pools, and the sea are not.
Where can I buy the RA-AP0003S10B in Australia?
This is the Chronospride page for the store SKU RA-AP0003S10B. It is out of stock. For how Bambino sizes and versions differ, see the Orient Bambino buying guide. In-stock dress models are in Orient classic watches.
