FAQs
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
No, the Orient Bambino Contemporary Classic RA-AC0018E10B has a water resistance rating of 30 meters, which is only suitable for accidental splashes and light rain. It is not designed for swimming or submersion.
Does this watch require a battery?
No, this is an automatic watch. It is powered by the motion of your wrist or can be manually wound. It does not use a battery.
How long does the power reserve last?
The Orient F6724 movement typically has a power reserve of approximately 40 hours when fully wound. This means it can run for about 40 hours after being fully wound if not worn.
What is the material of the watch crystal?
The watch features a mineral glass crystal. While durable, it is more susceptible to scratching than sapphire crystal.
How do I adjust the mesh bracelet?
The stainless steel mesh bracelet usually features a sliding clasp that can be adjusted without tools. You can typically slide the clasp along the bracelet to find the most comfortable fit for your wrist.
Can I wear this watch while showering?
It is not recommended to wear the watch while showering, as the combination of hot water, steam, and soaps can degrade seals and affect the watch's water resistance over time.
What is the case diameter?
The case diameter is 40mm, which is a standard size for contemporary men's watches, offering good visibility without being overly large.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running.
Gently shake the watch for 30 seconds or manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise (after unscrewing it) until you feel resistance. Ensure the crown is screwed down afterward.
Inaccurate timekeeping.
Ensure the watch is being worn regularly to keep the automatic movement wound. Avoid strong magnetic fields. If the issue persists, consult a watchmaker for potential regulation.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date-changing mechanism. Consult the manual for correct date setting procedures.
Condensation under the crystal.
This indicates potential water ingress. Immediately remove the crown (if possible and comfortable doing so, or seek professional help) and take the watch to a qualified watch repair service for inspection and drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is an automatic watch, meaning it powers itself through the motion of the wearer's wrist. To start it if it has stopped:
- Gently shake the watch side-to-side for about 30 seconds to give the mainspring some initial tension.
- Alternatively, you can manually wind the crown by unscrewing it (turn counter-clockwise until it pops out slightly) and then turning it clockwise. Stop winding when you feel resistance.
- Ensure the crown is pushed back in and screwed down to maintain water resistance.
Compatibility:
- Wrist Size: The mesh bracelet features a sliding clasp that can be adjusted for a custom fit. Tool-free adjustment is usually possible.
- Strap Replacement: The lug width is 21mm, allowing for aftermarket strap customization if desired. Ensure any replacement strap is compatible with the lug width.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Resistance: The 30m rating means the watch can withstand accidental splashes or light rain. It is not suitable for submersion, swimming, or showering. Regularly check that the crown is screwed down.
- Winding: If worn daily, the automatic movement should stay wound. If the watch is set aside for more than 40 hours, it may stop and require rewinding or shaking to restart.
- Magnetism: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as they can affect accuracy.
