The Orient RA-AK0306S10B is the white-dial steel-bracelet take on Orient’s Contemporary Day & Night (Sun & Moon) line. Instead of a static dress face, you get a mechanical day/night disc that tracks the sun and moon through the day, plus day and date, all driven by Orient’s F6B24 automatic. It sits in that sweet spot between office-friendly and conversation-starting — clean white dial, warm rose-gold tone hands and markers, and a see-through case back so the movement is part of the story.
Why this RA-AK0306S10B works
- Sun and moon you can actually watch — the day/night sub-dial is a living complication, not just printed decoration.
- In-house F6B24 — automatic, hand-windable, hacking seconds, 22 jewels, and about 40 hours of power reserve.
- Sapphire up front — flat sapphire crystal on the dial side stands up better to daily knocks than basic mineral glass.
- Balanced steel package — about 41.5 mm across, 13 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, exhibition back, and a stainless bracelet with trifold clasp.
- Honest everyday water resistance — 50 m (5 bar) for rain, washing up, and hand-washing; not a dive watch.
Who it suits
Choose the RA-AK0306S10B if you want a Japanese automatic that feels dressier than a diver but more interesting than a three-hand minimalist. The white dial and rose-gold accents pair cleanly with shirts and blazers; the steel bracelet keeps it practical as a daily driver. If you prefer leather or a smaller no-date Bambino, this is the more substantial, bracelet-first sun-and-moon option.

FAQ
What movement does the Orient RA-AK0306S10B use?
It uses Orient’s in-house F6B24 automatic: self-winding, hand-windable, with hacking seconds, 22 jewels, and roughly 40 hours of power reserve. The open case back lets you see the movement at work.
Is the RA-AK0306S10B a true moonphase watch?
It is a sun-and-moon (day/night) display rather than a full astronomical moonphase that tracks the lunar month. The disc rotates to show sun by day and moon by night alongside the day and date — a classic Orient complication on this reference.
What is the water resistance of the RA-AK0306S10B?
50 metres (5 bar). That covers rain and hand-washing. It is not rated for swimming, surfing, or diving. Always keep the crown fully pushed in.
Is the Orient RA-AK0306S10B suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, for office and daily wear. Sapphire crystal, a steel bracelet, and a ~41.5 mm case make it a practical automatic if you want something dressier than a dive watch. Size and thickness are more substantial than a slim dress piece, so try it against your preferred wrist presence.
How does the RA-AK0306S10B compare to an Orient Bambino?
Bambinos are typically thinner dress watches on leather with simpler dials. The RA-AK0306S10B adds the sun-and-moon day/night disc, day and date, sapphire crystal, exhibition back, and a steel bracelet — more presence and more to look at on the wrist.
