Orient Bambino “Luban” RA-AC0039Y Automatic Watch – Ivory Incense Dial with Arabic Numerals, Domed Crystal, 40.5 mm, Cal. F6724

Product Description

The Orient Bambino “Luban” RA-AC0039Y is inspired by one of the most mystical, coveted, and noble aromatic substances in human history: Luban (لبان), the legendary olibanum or sacred incense of Oman.

For millennia, camel caravans crossed endless deserts along the mythical Incense Route to transport this treasure harvested on the Dhofar Plateau—the historic “Land of Incense,” now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Considered a tribute fit for kings and emperors—and once valued higher than gold—olibanum flows from the sacred tree in the form of pure “tears” of raw resin with an unmistakable, warm, yellowish-cream hue. That same hue brings the ivory dial of this edition to life: a warm, serene, and aristocratic backdrop that serves as a canvas for elegant Arabic numerals, evoking both the ceremonial generosity of the Gulf—where the smoke of incense welcomes and honors the distinguished guest—and the sentimental value of a meaningful gift.

The warmth of the design is amplified by the domed “box crystal,” whose vintage curve creates pleasant optical distortions at the edges and a strong sense of volume. Its polished stainless steel case, measuring 40.5 mm in diameter and 46.5 mm from lug to lug, ensures a natural and distinguished fit on any wrist, complemented by a remarkable lightness of just 58 grams. On the back, the screw-down caseback with a transparent window showcases the in-house Orient F6724 automatic caliber, equipped with manual winding, a hacking seconds function, and a date window at 3 o’clock. Completed with a warm brown leather strap and a quick-change pin system (easy exchange), this timepiece combines Japanese mechanical mastery with a millennia-old history of hospitality, royalty, and distinction.
