The Orient Bambino RA-AK0805E is an in-house automatic dress watch with a green dial and a classic sun and moon complication. It combines Roman numerals, rose-gold tone hands and markers, a day display and a 24-hour sun-and-moon sub-dial in a 41.5mm stainless steel case — a warmer, more playful Bambino than a plain three-hand dress model.
If you are shopping orient bambino or orient sun and moon in Australia, this reference is the green-dial leather version many collectors mean when they ask for the modern Bambino sun-and-moon. It is a dress-oriented automatic with 30m water resistance: fine for rain and hand washing, not a swim watch.
Why this Bambino stands out
- Sun and moon sub-dial — a day-night display that gives the green dial character without turning the watch into a busy pilot piece.
- Green dial with rose-gold accents — Roman numerals and hands in a warm tone that pairs well with brown leather.
- In-house F6B24 automatic — Orient calibre with hand-winding, hacking and about 40 hours of power reserve.
- 41.5mm case, ~47mm lug-to-lug — larger presence than the slim 38mm Bambinos, still wearable as a dress-casual hybrid.
- Domed mineral crystal and exhibition caseback — classic Bambino front profile with a view of the movement on the reverse.

Who it suits
Buyers who want a dress automatic with a conversation-piece dial, green as a change from white or champagne Bambinos, or a gift-friendly Orient with a clear visual hook. It is thicker than a simple Bambino three-hand because of the sun-and-moon module stack — expect dress-casual bulk, not a dress-shirt slim profile.
Frequently asked questions
What is the water resistance of the Orient Bambino RA-AK0805E?
30 metres. That covers rain and hand washing with the crown pushed in. It is not rated for swimming, diving or showering as a habit. For 200m sports use, look at Orient Kamasu / Mako instead.
What movement does the Bambino sun and moon use?
Orient F6B24 automatic: self-winding, hand-windable, hacking seconds, roughly 40 hours of reserve, with the sun-and-moon and day complications driven from the calibre.
Is the Orient Bambino RA-AK0805E suitable for everyday wear?
Yes as a daily dress or smart-casual watch. The leather strap and 30m rating mean you should keep it away from heavy water and rough site work. For hard daily abuse, a steel Kamasu is the more sensible Orient.
How does the sun and moon Bambino compare to a standard Bambino dress watch?
Standard modern Bambinos (for example many RA-AC0M / Version 7 references) are simpler three-hand or small-seconds dress pieces, often around 38–40.5mm and thinner. The RA-AK0805E adds the sun-and-moon display, runs a bit larger and thicker at 41.5 × ~14.2mm, and trades minimalism for the day-night sub-dial.
