Orient Bambino 38mm Solar Powered
Orient has released five new Bambino (Classic and Simple style) models with a compact 38mm case and solar-powered battery – a first for the series – as well as a 75th anniversary Orient model with a limited release of 750 pieces. Along with with new series, the brand is introducing Orient’s first-ever strap made of synthetic apple leather.
Classic and Simple style 38 is known for its traditional classical curved dial, domed glass with a retro feel, and delicate case design with slender lugs.
The latest Classic and Simple style 38 closely adheres to this image of mechanical watches while incorporating a solar-powered movement that converts energy obtained from sunlight and other light sources into electrical energy for the first time in the series.
With high accuracy of +20 to -20 seconds per month and power reserve of 6 months at full charge, the model now offers significantly improved convenience for daily use.
The new Classic and Simple style 38 models come with a compact 38 mm case and elegant dial colours such as ivory, black, white, pale green and pale pink.
These are paired with brown or ivory synthetic leather straps. Orient’s first-ever plant-based strap is made of synthetic apple leather derived from otherwise discarded upcycled apple waste such as the core and pomace.
The 75th anniversary edition of Classic and Simple style 38, has a vintage look that represents the history and tradition of Orient including the 1950s Orient logo written in cursive, white dial with blue hands, and a retro-looking beige nubuck leather strap.
The case back is engraved with the words “Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary” and a limited-edition serial number. It also comes with an exchangeable calf leather strap, adding to the celebratory feel of the anniversary model.
All new models offer additional convenience with the easy exchange strap which is being adopted for the first time in the Classic and Simple style line. The strap is easily detachable by moving the lever of the spring bar, allowing the wearer to personalise the watch.
