The Orient Bambino Open Heart joins the range of Orient Bambinos.
I think they look really nice, don't know if I like them more than the classic Bambino range yet but definitely better than the other open heart models of Orient.

It has the F6T22 movement (Hand Winding and Hacking) and should fit under a shirt cuff at 12mm.
I'm personally digging the Blue, however, the Rose Gold is definitely worth a look.

Here is a link to their website: https://www.orientwatchusa.com/shop/mens-watches/ra-ag0001s10a/
And here are a couple of pics (taken from the website and instagram):

Let me know what you guys think about this new model.

I am more impressed that Orient made a watch without a date.

UGH I want one, but shouldn't. This thread is not helping my wallet....

why 21mm lugs?

The blue is sexy

The small seconds now this, Orient want us all to go broke.

I agree, why not just keep it at 20 ? Very annoying when you're looking for an aftermarket strap, which is usually the case with Orients.

Yes indeed, so annoying ... Orient with their 21 mm lugs, and Seiko with their 19 mm lugs (on the venerable SNX111, for example).

Still, a 22 mm strap should squeeze in and look okay, especially if it tapers rapidly from the lug down ...

But otherwise agree that these are a great addition to the Bambino stable!

40.5 mm and 12mm thick. I think it is too much for a dress watch.
I have a orient pilot 12mm thick but that is a sport watch.

despite the already mentioned problems with the watch (a tad to big, lug with...): I dont like the open heart at all. Never saw a watch where it looked good - and it doenst work on the bambino either. Or should I say especially not on the bambino. The disign is clearly inspired by bauhaus. There is simply no "room" for such a thing as a open heart in a bauhaus design. It just doenst look right :/

I've never been a fan of open hearts, but this doesn't seem so bad. This is one of the few that I don't think I'd mind wearing. What makes me super happy about this though is that Orient is increasing it's range of watch offerings which should alleviate fears that they will be downsized. I know that was a concern not too long ago, but this introduction seems to prove otherwise.

I really think Orient offers some of the best value for money, if not the best value for money watches around. They also have a wide range of models and styles which can fulfill almost anyone's entire watch collection in my opinion. Apart from some of the seemingly minor issues (dress watch size, odd lug widths, QC issues), I'm glad that Orient is still expanding their offering. I have two currently, and hope to make that 3-4 one day when funds allow.

I completely agree, Open Heart's can tend to look cheap and gimmicky. However, I think Orient has done a good job with this one. I love the fact that this is the first Bambino without a date. And yes with so many new models coming out, its onwards and upwards from here for Orient.

Off course

I prefer this blue one with Roman numerals - but not sure if this is a "Bambino".

 

[Tushar90]

Nope. That is not a bambino.
If I am not mistaken it's called 'Envoy'

I prefer this blue one with Roman numerals - but not sure if this is a "Bambino".

I prefer a lot of the Bambino Small Seconds over a lot of the open hearts, but I must admit that the blue open heart is the best out of both lines. I've never liked an open heart watch until I saw the blue bambino. I'm holding out for a watch I can wear a blue leather strap with and this is definitely one that will be in the running.
