The Orient Stretto Date RA-AC0R01S30B is a compact dress automatic that still looks like something you can wear to work every day. The dial is a white sunburst with applied gold-tone stick markers, gold-tone hands, and a date window at 3 o’clock. A gold-tone bezel and a two-tone steel bracelet do the rest. It is not a leather-strap Bambino, and it is not trying to be one.
Orient’s US sheet lists the same layout: white sunburst, gold-tone hands, date, sapphire, and calibre F6722 in a 38.5 mm steel case. Our photos match that sheet, including the two-tone bracelet and the gold-tone crown.
Movement and case back
F6722 is Orient’s automatic with hand-winding and a hacking seconds hand. Power reserve is about 40 hours. You can wind it if it has stopped, and you can stop the seconds to set the time. The exhibition case back shows the movement. The ring on that case back is engraved sapphire crystal, stainless steel, and water resistant to 50 m, and the calibre marking reads F6722.
Size
Diameter is 38.5 mm without the crown. Lug-to-lug is 45.5 mm. Thickness is 11.2 mm. Lug width is 20 mm. That is a tidy dress size: smaller than a 40.5 mm Bambino, and thin enough for a cuff. The crown is push-pull, not screw-down.
Bracelet, crystal, water resistance
The bracelet is two-tone 316L stainless steel, silver-tone outer links with gold-tone centre links, on a fold-over clasp. Orient lists the lug width at 20 mm. The crystal is sapphire. Water resistance is 50 metres, which is more useful than the 30 m you get on many dress watches. Rain and handwashing are fine. It is still not a swimming watch.
How it differs from a Bambino
People shopping Orient dress watches often land on a Bambino first. The Stretto Date is the bracelet alternative: sapphire instead of the mineral crystal on many Bambinos, 50 m instead of 30 m, and a two-tone sports-dress look rather than a leather strap. If you want an open heart instead of a date, look at the TAG03001W0. For the wider automatic range, start at Orient watches.

Questions buyers ask
What movement does the Orient Stretto RA-AC0R01S30B use?
Orient calibre F6722. It is automatic, with hand-winding and hacking seconds, and about 40 hours of power reserve. The exhibition case back on this listing shows that calibre marking.
What size is the Stretto Date?
38.5 mm across, 11.2 mm thick, and 45.5 mm lug-to-lug, with 20 mm lugs. It wears smaller than a 40.5 mm dress watch and sits cleanly under a cuff.
Is the bracelet two-tone, and where is the date?
Yes. The bracelet is two-tone steel, and the bezel, hands, and crown are gold-tone. The date window is at 3 o’clock on a white sunburst dial.
How water resistant is the RA-AC0R01S30B?
50 metres, or 5 bar. Fine for rain and handwashing. Do not swim or dive with it. The crystal is sapphire, which matters more for desk wear than the water rating does.
Is the Stretto Date the same as an Orient Bambino?
No. Both are Orient dress automatics, but this Stretto is a 38.5 mm steel-bracelet watch with sapphire and 50 m water resistance. Many Bambinos are larger, on leather, with mineral crystal and 30 m water resistance. Check the reference before you assume they share a case.
