Te Tatūnga me te Whakatakataka Tuatahi
Your Orient Bambino watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. It does not require a battery. The watch is wound by the motion of your wrist during daily wear. If the watch has stopped or is low on power, follow these steps:
- Hand-Winding: Gently turn the crown clockwise in position 1 (normal position) for approximately 30-40 rotations. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
- Whakaritea te Wa: Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the 24-hour subdial (sun/moon indicator) is correctly aligned with AM/PM. Push the crown back to position 1 when finished.
- Whakaritea te Ra: Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown counter-clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Panahia te karauna ki te turanga 1.
- Te whakarite i te ra o te wiki: Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown clockwise to set the day of the week. Avoid setting the day between 9 PM and 3 AM. Panahia te karauna ki te turanga 1.
Note: The F6B24 movement features a hacking function, meaning the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out to position 3, allowing for precise time setting.

Operating the Automatic Movement
The Orient F6B24 movement is an automatic caliber, meaning it winds itself through the natural motion of your arm. For optimal accuracy, wear the watch regularly. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (typically 40 hours or more), it will stop and require manual winding and time setting as described in the 'Setup and Initial Winding' section.
