Orient

Orient's in-house automatic caliber found in many of their popular diver and dress models. Running at 21,600 vph with 22 jewels, it provides hacking and hand-winding at a price point that undercuts most Swiss competition. Orient's vertical integration within the Epson/Seiko Group allows them to produce these movements entirely in-house, making the F6724 one of the most affordable true manufacture calibers available.

02The community take

Owners talk.

“

The Orient Bambino Version 1 is widely praised as an exceptional value dress watch with a timeless aesthetic, appreciated for its automatic movement and quality under $150. Owners consistently highlight its smart, quintessential dress watch look, with Roman numeral and index markers being a particular point of admiration. Some reviewers note the dial has a greenish/blueish tint rather than pure white, and the winding motion is described as a little rough. Accuracy is reported as very good, with one owner seeing +1 second per day. While the design is praised, some find its size slightly large for a dress watch, and one owner found rotor noise and size bothersome. Stock straps are frequently mentioned as a drawback, described as plasticky, non-tapering, or not to taste. Some owners suggest better value can be found elsewhere, citing mineral crystal and non-hacking, non-handwinding movement as drawbacks.
