Japan’s Answer To The Classic Dress Watch, With An Electric Blue Twist.

Have you ever seen something that makes you stop dead in your tracks? That leaves you completely spellbound, awestruck and stupefied? These instances are somewhat of a rarity in our lives, and that is what makes them stand out from the rest of the mundane moments in time that tick away. 

One of these moments occurred when I stumbled upon the Orient Bambino line of watches whilst browsing the internet last month. In particular, the model pictured above, which is the Generation 2, Version 2 with white dial and those mesmerizing electric blue hands. Pictures do not do this timepiece justice, as you really have to experience the way the light reflects off these hands, like flashes of lightning. 

Aside from aesthetics, this watch is a marvel of craftsmanship. It feels like a far more expensive watch when you wrap it around your wrist. It’s stainless steel case, genuine leather band, 40 mm case diameter, and automatic movement/hand winding and hacking capabilities exceed one’s expectations. 

Now available from Amazon or Orient Watch USA for under $200, which lends to my conclusion that there is no better automatic dress watch for the price point currently on the market.

After one month on the wrist, I would say this watch is definitely worth your time.
