The Orient Bambino RA-AC0003S10B, also listed as RA-AC0003S, is a Version 5 dress watch with Western Arabic numerals from 1 to 12. The dial is white, the date sits at 3, and the strap in the listing photos is black leather. It is currently out of stock. Older copy on this page called the movement F6T22 and described an open heart. That does not match this watch.
Dial, hands, and strap
The straight-on photos show a clean white dial, black Arabic numerals, a fine minute track, and black hands. Orient Automatic sits under the crest, and Water Resistant is written in script above 6. Two close-up frames in the same gallery show blue hands on the same style of dial. Those frames do not match the black hands on the front and three-quarter shots. Treat the hand colour as unconfirmed from this set of photos, and judge the watch from the full gallery rather than from one crop.
The strap is black leather with a crocodile emboss, a light lining marked genuine leather, and a pin buckle stamped Orient. It is not a steel bracelet. The crown is a pull-out crown at 3, with no guards.

F6724 is the date automatic used across this Bambino generation. It is not F6T22. F6T22 is the open-heart calibre, and this dial has no aperture at 9. The exhibition case back is a window onto the movement, not an open-heart display on the front.
If you want a black stick-index Bambino in a similar 40.5 mm size, see the Orient Bambino SAC00004B0. For a smaller white dial that is a different generation, the RA-AC0M03S30B is 38.4 mm. The Bambino buying guide and the Orient classic category are the better places to compare what is actually available.
Origin
Orient is a Japanese brand. RA-AC0003S10B is an earlier Version 5 reference, not a current-production Bambino. The case back of the unit supplied shows where it was made. A small line on the dial is not used here as a country-of-origin claim.
Questions buyers ask
Is the Orient Bambino RA-AC0003S10B an open-heart watch?
No. The dial is a full white Arabic face with a date at 3. The case back is an exhibition window. Open-heart Bambinos use a different calibre and show the balance through the dial, usually near 9. This is not that watch.
What movement does the RA-AC0003S10B use?
Orient calibre F6724. It is automatic, can be hand-wound, and has a hacking seconds stop, 22 jewels, and about 40 hours of reserve. It is not F6T22.
What size is the RA-AC0003S10B case?
About 40.5 mm wide and 12 mm thick. The published sheet for this reference also lists about 46 mm lug-to-lug and 21 mm lugs. It is a Version 5 case, not the smaller 38.4 mm Bambino.
Why do some photos show blue hands?
The front and three-quarter photos show black hands. Two close-up frames show blue hands. The gallery is not consistent, so this page does not lock a single hand colour. The dial layout, Arabic numerals, date at 3, and black leather strap are consistent across the set.
Is the crystal sapphire, and can I swim with it?
The crystal is domed mineral glass, not sapphire. Water resistance is 30 m. That is enough for rain and handwashing. It is not a watch for the pool, and the crown does not screw down.
Is this a current-production Bambino?
This Version 5 reference is not current production. Orient is a Japanese brand. The case back of the unit supplied shows where that unit was made.
