Key Features

• Automatic, Hand-Winding, and Hacking Movement: The F6724 caliber allows the watch to wind automatically through natural wrist motion, while also supporting manual winding for convenience. The hacking function stops the seconds hand when setting the time, ensuring accurate synchronization.
• Domed Crystal: A gently curved crystal enhances the vintage-inspired aesthetic and adds depth to the dial, a signature design element carried forward from the original Bambino series.
• Metallic Sunburst Dial: The light, reflective sunburst pattern on the dial catches the light beautifully, complemented by polished hour markers and dauphine-style hands for a clean, legible display.
• Date Indicator: A discreet date window at the 3 o’clock position adds practical functionality without disrupting the dial’s symmetrical balance.
• 50m Water Resistance: Offers protection against splashes, rain, and accidental submersion, making it suitable for daily wear though not intended for swimming or diving.
• Genuine Leather Strap: Paired with a stainless steel case, the leather strap provides a classic dress watch appearance with lasting comfort and durability.

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.
