The Orient FER2400CN0 Bambino ($260) is a vintage styled mechanical watch that features a beautiful cream dial wrapped in roman numeral indices, topped with a domed crystal, and protected by a 40mm stainless steel case. This overall setup offers a water-resistance of about 30 meters. Good enough for a shower and a quick dip. The steel is polished on the top and has a matte brushed finished on the sides.
