![]() Its dial and case are really well executed and make it look far more expensive than it actually is. But all in all, the Orient Bambino 38 does far more than just the job. The leather strap is stamped with an alligator pattern. Obviously, at EUR 275, you won’t get all the extras of a luxury watch. And importantly, it is a pleasure to wear. Wearing it on a few occasions, it has been quite an attention grabber despite the understated, rather simple look of the watch – with multiple comments coming from watch-educated people. It will be a great pick for beginners or value-driven collectors. This classic, vintage-inspired time-and-date watch is geared toward those who love “no frills” timepieces and yet, it exudes a pleasant nostalgic feel. The Orient Bambino 38 is truly a lovely three-hand elegant watch. Accuracy is rated at +25/-15 seconds per day – which is not chronometer precision but quite standard in this price range. It features 22 jewels and the hacking mechanism allows for precise setting of the time. From a technical perspective, this workhorse ticks at 3Hz frequency and boasts 40 hours of power reserve when fully wound. As you would expect from a watch retailing at such an entry-level price (understand sub-300 euros), the decoration is pretty minimalistic – still, there is an open-worked rotor engraved with the brand’s logo. Turning the watch over, the snap-in, exhibition caseback allows discovering the in-house automatic calibre F6724. ![]() The “water resistant” caption on the dial seems almost anachronistic today but contributes to the vintage feeling of the model, specifically with its cursive font. Last, the water-resistance is rated at 30m, which is fine considering the vocation of this watch, as you most likely won’t swim with it, but you will be protected against exposure to water. And the Bambino, one of the rare elegant, dress watches in this market, is not a watch to be seen as the default option, nor as a poor man’s choice. The current Seiko 5 Sports still holds a respectable place in this field, but Orient is always one to consider too. Seiko with the past-generation 5 Series and the SKX diver were some of the best options, yet these are now defunct. The notion of price is relative, of course, but in the context of truly affordable mechanical watches, serious alternatives are basically worst-kept secrets. It’s a bit of a complex term, as for instance the Seamaster 300M Diver Master Chronometer can be considered one when looking at everything it offers… considering its price. You’ll often hear the concept of “ value proposition” when talking about accessible watches. So we thought we would ask for a model to review… And, without making too much noise, it’s typically a watch that looks and feels far more expensive than what it actually costs! We had been quite intrigued by the looks and specs of this automatic dress watch retailing at just EUR 275. Introduced a few weeks ago, the new versions of the model stand out with their more compact case – 38.4mm versus 40.5mm previously.

In his 2016 review of the EP Futureproof, Mitch Mosk of Atwood Magazine wrote that the song makes one consider that "Life has its ups and its downs, but that isn't a reason to not live each day to our fullest potential." Reception The opening lines ("Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion, but I don't need the comfort in any lies") describe how religious texts calm people, though what it tells might not be true. "Notion" is about religion, or specifically, not believing in it.
