It is also possible that it was written by a someone who introduced it knowing it’s double meaning, maybe even sneaking it past an older out of date editor. This was the highlight of the Bambino for me since it exceeded my expectations and really gave me the sense that it had a slight luxury watch vibe.

But truthfully, this is a dress watch and not a watch built for rugged functionality – you should not be subjecting to the elements. Version 2 has Roman Numerals for the hour markings and train-track chapter rings around the outside. However, it was a lot dressier and not quite as versatile, and I much prefer the range of dial options that comes with the Gen 2.For me, this specific configuration with the Roman numerals and tachymeter chapter ring looks really great. My main issue with the Bambino – both Gen 1 and 2, and many other dress watches for that matter – is the size. If you’re looking for something very high end, we recommend going straight to a custom strap maker such as JonesinTokyo.
