As a brand, Orient is known on the market for classic watch designs, which is why the Bambino series is such a breath of fresh air! Just like its predecessors, Bambino Version 3 is an elegant timepiece with a minimalist design with clean, vertical lines.

The sunburst dial, rectangular hands, and date complication are complemented by the stainless steel case and leather strap, creating a beautiful and elegant design. In addition, it’s easy to notice the elements that make the Bambino series so special – the signature domed crystal and domed dial.

Orient Ray II is a watch with Japanese automatic movement (around 40h power reserve) that supports hand-winding and hacking.

Overall, the watch registers as a solidly-built timepiece, with a stainless steel case and bracelet complimented by a metallic blue dial and black bezel. It looks good on your wrist and can be accessorized with both casual and elegant outfits.

The Ray II is accurate and reliable, so if you’re using it on a daily basis, you may not need to use the hand-winding and hacking features. However, if it runs out of power, you can use the crown, which has several positions for setting the Date, Day, and time.

If you like watching your watch’s elements hard at work, you’ll definitely enjoy this impressive Kenneth Cole design!

To make sure the analog dial doesn’t get too crowded, the manufacturer used simple colors and elements for the hands and hour markers. Also, the stainless steel case fits nicely with the leather strap.

The mechanism is powered by a Japanese 21-jewel automatic movement which supports hand-winding (for those times you don’t wear it enough). Lastly, the watch is water-resistant but you shouldn’t wear it while diving or snorkeling.
