The Orient Bambino FAC00009W0 is the Version 2 with the busier, more classical dial. White ground, Roman numerals at the even hours, slim blue hands, and a railroad minute track. It is still an automatic dress watch. The extra print is the point of this reference, not a different case.
On the dial, XII, II, IIII, VI, VIII, and X are applied Roman numerals. The odd hours are simple baton markers. IIII is used at 4, not IV, which keeps the lower half of the dial balanced. A fine minute track carries Arabic numerals at the five-minute marks. The hands are blue and slimmer than the silver dauphine hands on the stick-index Bambino. A date window sits at 3 o’clock. The crest and Automatic sit under 12. The script above 6 reads Water Resistant, the second-generation wording.
The case matches the rest of this Version 2 family. Polished stainless steel, 40.5 mm across, 11.8 mm thick, 21 mm lugs, domed mineral crystal, push-pull crown, solid screw case back. The strap is dark brown leather with a crocodile pattern and contrast stitching. Water resistance is 30 metres. Rain and handwashing, not swimming.
Who the FAC00009W0 is for
Choose this reference if you want the Roman-numeral Bambino rather than the plain stick dial. The FAC00005W0 uses the same F6724 and the same 40.5 mm case, but with silver indices and silver hands and no minute numerals. FAC00009W0 is the one that reads as a small formal watch even though the case is not small.
The look follows the earlier ER2400EW, which also used a white dial, Roman numerals, and blue hands. That older reference ran calibre 48743, without hacking or hand-winding. FAC00009W0 is the later reference: same idea on the dial, F6724 inside. It is not the same watch as the ER2400EW, and it is not a numbered limited edition.

Diameter, thickness, and lug width agree across the store attributes and the usual retailer sheets. A lug-to-lug value on the product was copied from a different Bambino URL, so it is left off this page.
Wearing and setting it
The blue hands are the part people notice first. They sit well on a white shirt and a navy jacket. They are less quiet than the all-silver FAC00005W0, which is either what you want or the reason to pick the other reference.
The F6724 winds as you wear it and can be hand-wound from stopped. Hacking lets you set the time against a clock. Do not quick-set the date from about 8 pm to 4 am. In that window the date works are already in motion on this calibre. Thirty metres is a splash rating. Keep it off in the shower and the pool. A worn strap replaces with any 21 mm leather strap.
Questions about the Orient Bambino FAC00009W0
What movement does the Orient Bambino FAC00009W0 use?
Orient calibre F6724. It is an in-house automatic with 22 jewels, a date at 3 o’clock, hacking seconds, hand-winding, and about 40 hours of power reserve. Older copy on this page called it only “Cal. F67”. The full calibre used in this Version 2 reference is F6724, not the first-generation 48743.
Does the FAC00009W0 have Roman numerals and blue hands?
Yes. The listing photos show a white dial with Roman numerals at XII, II, IIII, VI, VIII, and X, baton markers on the odd hours, and blue hour and minute hands. A railroad minute track runs around the edge, with numerals at the five-minute marks. Older text that described only index markers and dauphine hands was describing a different Bambino face.
What is the water resistance of the FAC00009W0?
30 metres, or 3 bar. Enough for rain and washing your hands. Not enough for swimming or diving. The Water Resistant line on the dial marks the second generation. It is not a sports-watch rating.
How is the FAC00009W0 different from the ER2400EW?
The dial idea is the same family: white ground, Roman numerals, blue hands, brown leather. The ER2400EW used calibre 48743, which does not hack and does not hand-wind. FAC00009W0 uses F6724, which does both, and the dial reads Water Resistant rather than the earlier Water Resist wording. Treat them as related references, not as one model with two codes.
How does the FAC00009W0 compare with the FAC00005W0?
Same generation, same F6724, same 40.5 mm by 11.8 mm steel case, same 21 mm brown leather strap, same 30 metre rating. The difference is the dial. FAC00009W0 has Roman numerals, a minute track, and blue hands. FAC00005W0 has silver stick indices and silver hands, and a cleaner dial. Choose on the face, not on the movement.
