A New Generation of Bambino
The design of the original Bambino, one must realize that it is anchored by two things: a domed crystal, and a domed dial. It would be these two features that would link all the Bambino collections together. The dial features a light, metallic sunburst dial that's offset by polished hour markers and dauphine hands. A date window sat at the three o'clock marker, and a track of seconds markers worked its way around the edge of the dial. The Bambino has been upgraded with the F6724 movement, the F6724 movement is automatic, hand-winding, and hacking.
- Automatic, Hand-winding, and hacking (seconds halt) movement
- Domed Crystal
- 50m Water Resistance

As far as appearance goes, I cannot believe how stunning this watch is to look at. The pictures and videos you see of it all over the place cannot begin to capture it's elegance. It's not a directly WHITE face; it's more like a light cream/off-white color that looks absolutely brilliant. The mesmerizing sweep of the second hand is hypnotic in its beauty; you can feel the craftsmanship that went into it. It keeps quite accurate time as well; it uses an in-house Japanese movement, which is a big plus for a watch at this price range.
The other thing is that due to its simplicity and its sparing of too many complications, the watch is incredibly easy to read quickly; there are some beautiful watches out there with lots of complications that make it difficult to quickly acquire the time; I didn't think that mattered much to me until I got this watch. Being able to tell the time IMMEDIATELY upon looking at the watch seems like it would be obvious, but with many watches, this is not the case.
Friends of mine who are serious watch collectors confirmed my purchase as one of the very best entry-level automatic watches that you can buy. Seiko's SARB065 aka "Cocktail Time" or basically any other SARB also falls into a great entry level watch category; but if you want something that looks incredibly elegant, and functions and looks like a higher-priced watch. Definitely worth getting this; makes for a great daily dress watch for the office; I am using the band that came with it, and it works great with a business/smart casual look.
A full wind lasts about 40 hours, but it is also wound through just wearing it. However, as I often do not wear it, it means when I do take it out of the drawer I need to wind it and set the time. For this reason a quatz battery watch may have been a better choice in this scenario.
However this is no fault of this particular watch. This watch is beautiful, and the best thing is that it is suitable for both casual and formal outfits. Its simplicity is timeless and will never go out of fashion.
The other thing worth noting is the that date needs to be manually again for any month that is not 30 days long. Again, not a limitation of this watch in particular, but still annoying.
Keeps excellent time.
It has an almost inaudible ticking sound. I was worried about the ticking as I value silence highly, but you cannot hear this watch unless it is next to your ear.
If you are looking for an automatic mechanical watch, that is stylish, looks good with any outfit, and high quality on a budget, get this watch. If you are not going to wear it all the time, just be aware you will have to reset the time when you want to wear it. And personally I am not even going to bother with the date - to much hassle with little pay off.
My only critique is this thing loses time FAST. I thought it was supposed to lose maybe 1-2 minutes a week based on what I had read online, but I find this watch losing 1-2 minutes a day and several in a week. I don't really mind though, you don't wear an automatic watch for the accuracy at the end of the day, at least not a $200 one. Quartz is nearly perfectly accurate but we all still love automatics for a reason. Great starter watch and glad I bought it.
