Orient Bambino RA-AC0009S white dial automatic
The Orient Bambino RA-AC0009S is the open-heart white-dial version of the classic Bambino, fitted on a stainless steel bracelet. A cut-out at 9 o’clock shows the balance, the rest of the dial stays clean and white, and a date window sits at 3. It is a dress automatic from a Japanese brand, meant for a shirt cuff and an evening out, not for the water.
The store photos show a white dial, applied silver-tone hour markers, dauphine hands, the open-heart aperture, and a three-link stainless steel bracelet with a fold-over clasp. The case back in those photos is exhibition, so you can see the automatic movement. That is the reference on this page. Do not mix it up with the smaller Bambino 36, or with the later 38.4 mm Version 7.
This reference is currently out of stock. The page stays up so the specs are here when you compare it with other Bambino models we list.
Who it suits
Buyers looking for an automatic dress watch with a white dial and a steel bracelet, rather than leather, tend to land on this reference. The open heart is the detail that separates it from the plain white Bambinos. If you want a smaller case, look at the Bambino 36. If you want the current compact line with a leather strap, look at Version 7.
Water resistance is 30 metres. That covers rain and handwashing. It is not a swim watch, and the crown is not a diver’s screw-down crown.

Published case sizes for this reference do not agree. Some older sheets say about 36 mm. Later retailer sheets put the same open-heart family near 40.5 mm. Our size attributes on this product do not match those sheets either, so this page does not state a case diameter, lug width, or thickness. Check the watch in person, or ask us, before you buy a strap for it.
Origin
Orient is a Japanese brand. Listing photos may show an earlier example marked Movement Japan or Made in Japan. The watch we send, when this reference is back in stock from current production, is marked Made in Thailand. The case back of any older unit supplied shows where that unit was made. This is not an Orient Star.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Orient Bambino RA-AC0009S?
It is an Orient Bambino automatic with a white dial, an open-heart window at 9 o’clock, a date at 3, and a stainless steel bracelet. The case back in the listing photos is exhibition.
Does the RA-AC0009S have an open heart?
Yes. The dial has a cut-out near 9 o’clock that shows the balance. That is the point of this reference, not a second hand or a small-seconds subdial.
What movement is in the RA-AC0009S?
It is an automatic with an exhibition case back. The photos do not show a calibre number clearly enough to quote, so this page does not name one. Older third-party sheets sometimes say F6222. Treat that as unverified until you can read the rotor.
What size is the RA-AC0009S case?
Published figures conflict, from about 36 mm on older sheets to about 40.5 mm on later retailer pages for the same open-heart family. This listing does not state a case diameter until that is confirmed on the unit.
Is the RA-AC0009S a women’s watch?
No. The old page title called it a women’s watch. The dial, bracelet, and reference are the men’s open-heart Bambino. A smaller Bambino 36 exists as a separate model.
How water resistant is the RA-AC0009S?
30 metres. Fine for rain and handwashing. Not for swimming or diving.
Is the RA-AC0009S in stock in Australia?
Not at the moment. Chronospride keeps the page so you can compare the reference. When it returns, it ships as authentic stock, inspected before dispatch, with free shipping Australia-wide on eligible orders.
