Opsette

1. Inisjele wikkeling

Your Orient Bambino watch is powered by a mechanical automatic movement, which means it winds itself through the motion of your wrist. However, for initial setup or if the watch has stopped, manual winding is recommended.

  1. Soargje derfoar dat de kroan yn posysje 0 is (folslein yndrukt).
  2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
  3. The second hand should begin to move.

2. Setting Time, Date, Day, and Sun&Moon

The watch features a crown with multiple positions for setting various functions.

  • Position 0 (Normal Position): Fully pushed in. For manual winding.
  • Position 1 (First Click): Pulled out one click. For setting the date, day, and Sun&Moon indicator.
  • Position 2 (Second Click): Pulled out two clicks. For setting the time.

Ynstellingsproseduere:

  1. Ynstelle tiid: Pull the crown out to Position 2. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. When setting the time, ensure the Sun&Moon indicator correctly reflects AM or PM. If the date changes when passing 12 o'clock, it is midnight (AM). Push the crown back to Position 0 when done. The second hand will stop (hacking function) in this position, allowing for precise time setting.
  2. Set Date, Day, and Sun&Moon: Trek de kroan út nei posysje 1.
    • Draai de kroan mei de klok yn om de datum oan te passen.
    • Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day of the week.
    • The Sun&Moon indicator will advance with the time. Adjust the time using Position 2 if the Sun&Moon indicator is not synchronized with the actual time.
    Belangryk: Do not set the date or day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can damage the movement. If you need to adjust the date during this period, first set the time outside this window (e.g., to 6:00 AM), then adjust the date/day, and finally reset the time to the current time.
  3. Once all settings are complete, push the crown back to Position 0 (fully pushed in) to ensure water resistance.

3. Adjusting the Leather Strap

The watch comes with a two-piece leather strap with a buckle clasp. Adjust the strap to a comfortable fit on your wrist, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose.

Automatyske beweging

Your Orient Bambino watch is equipped with a mechanical automatic movement (Caliber F6B24). This movement is self-winding, meaning it gains power from the natural motion of your arm while wearing the watch. It also supports manual winding via the crown.

  • Power Reserve: When fully wound, the watch has a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.
  • Krektens: The typical time accuracy is +25 seconds to -15 seconds per day. This is standard for mechanical watches and can vary based on usage and environmental conditions.
  • Hacking Function: The second hand stops when the crown is pulled out to Position 2, allowing for precise time synchronization.

Wetter Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 3 ATM (30 meters). This rating means the watch is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water, such as rain or hand washing. It is net geskikt foar dûsjen, swimmen, dûken of oare wettersporten. Soargje der altyd foar dat de kroan folslein yndrukt is om de wetterbestindigens te behâlden.

Cleaning

Om it uterlik fan jo horloazje te behâlden:

  • Feie de kast en it kristal ôf mei in sêfte, droege doek.
  • For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, and direct sunlight to prevent damage and discoloration.
  • Do not use chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.

Opslach

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, consider a watch winder to keep the movement running and lubricated, or manually wind it periodically.

Tsjinst

Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This involves cleaning, lubricating, and regulating the movement.

Avoiding Magnetic Fields

Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, smartphones, tablets, magnetic clasps on bags) as magnetism can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.

Troubleshooting

  • Watch is not running or stops frequently:

    Ensure the watch is sufficiently wound. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times. If worn daily, ensure sufficient wrist movement. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.

  • De tiid is net akkuraat:

    Mechanical watches have a typical accuracy range. If the deviation is significantly outside the specified +25 to -15 seconds per day, check if the watch has been exposed to strong magnetic fields. If so, demagnetization by a watchmaker may be necessary. Otherwise, regulation or servicing might be required.

  • Date/Day/Sun&Moon not changing correctly:

    Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. Avoid setting the date/day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM to prevent damage to the movement's date change mechanism.

  • Moisture or condensation inside the watch:

    Immediately seek professional service. This indicates a breach in water resistance and can lead to severe damage to the movement. Do not attempt to dry it yourself.

Noat: The "Band Width" specification of 190 Millimeters appears to be a mislabeling in the source data and likely refers to the band length. Typical band widths are much smaller (e.g., 20mm). Please refer to the manufacturer's official specifications for precise band width if needed.
