Looking for a compact Orient Bambino that keeps the classic dress look without daily winding? The Orient Bambino RA-WK0004L (full code RA-WK0004L10B) is part of Orient’s Classic & Simple Style 38 solar line: curved dial, domed crystal, slender lugs, and a slim 38.4 mm case that sits cleanly under a shirt cuff.
Instead of a mechanical movement, this reference uses Orient’s solar-powered quartz calibre VS213. Light (sunlight or indoor) tops up the cell; when fully charged it can run for roughly six months, with typical quartz accuracy around +20 to −20 seconds per month. You get Bambino styling with low-maintenance timekeeping.
Why the RA-WK0004L stands out
- Black dial dress layout — clean indices and Roman markers with silver-tone hands for everyday legibility.
- True Bambino proportions — about 38.4 mm across, ~43.5 mm lug-to-lug, ~10.5 mm thick, 20 mm strap width.
- Domed mineral crystal — the curved glass that defines the Bambino profile and softens reflections.
- Plant-based apple leather strap — Orient’s synthetic strap made with upcycled apple material; brown tone pairs with the black dial and steel case.
- Solar quartz convenience — no hand-winding routine; charge from normal light exposure.
- 30 m (3 bar) water resistance — fine for hand washing and rain, not swimming or diving.
Who it suits
Choose the RA-WK0004L if you want Bambino aesthetics on a smaller wrist, prefer accurate quartz over automatic winding, or want a black-dial leather dress watch for work and weekends. It is a strong option when you like Orient design but want set-and-forget solar power.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Orient Bambino RA-WK0004L automatic or quartz?
It is solar quartz, not automatic. Calibre VS213 is light-powered quartz. It keeps Bambino case and crystal styling while removing the need to wear or wind a mechanical movement every day.
What is the water resistance of the RA-WK0004L?
30 metres (3 bar). That covers daily splash and rain. Do not swim, shower, or dive in it, and avoid operating the crown underwater.
How long does the solar charge last?
When fully charged, reserve is about six months. Regular indoor or outdoor light keeps it topped up for normal desk and commuting wear. Long storage in the dark can drain the cell — recharge under light before relying on it.
What size is the case, and will it fit smaller wrists?
About 38.4 mm wide and 43.5 mm lug-to-lug with a slim ~10.5 mm profile. That compact footprint is one reason the Classic Style 38 line works well for smaller wrists and under cuffs.
What strap comes on the RA-WK0004L10B?
A brown plant-based synthetic leather strap (Orient’s apple-leather style strap) at 20 mm lug width with a pin buckle. You can swap to other 20 mm straps if you prefer a different look later.
