Orient Bambino V7 vs Orient Bambino V4

Both are Orient Bambino automatics with the same F6724 movement, so the choice comes down to size and look. The V7 is the compact dress watch at 38.4mm, with a gold-tone case and white dial that suits smaller wrists and formal wear. The V4 is a larger 42mm watch with a grey dial and rose gold hands, and it wears thinner at 11.8mm. Build is comparable: mineral crystal, 30m water resistance and leather straps on both. Owners of both praise the movement and the classic styling; the main complaint on each is the mineral crystal and modest water resistance.

• Choose the Orient Bambino V7 if you want a smaller, gold-tone dress watch that fits a slim wrist and slips under a shirt cuff.
• Choose the Orient Bambino V4 if you prefer a bigger 42mm case with a grey dial and rose gold hands, and a thinner profile.
