Orient proves that you do not need to spend a fortune to own a genuinely well-made mechanical watch. The Bambino V2 (ref. ORIENT BAMBINO V2) is a perfect example. The finishing and attention to detail speak for themselves. With a 21mm lug width, it takes aftermarket straps beautifully.
The 40.5mm case with its ~11.8mm profile gives you just enough wrist presence to anchor different strap materials without the watch disappearing. Here are my 7 picks — and why each one works.

1. Best Overall — Black Saffiano Signature Strap
If you're buying your first aftermarket strap for the Orient Bambino V2, this is where I'd start.
The Black Saffiano Signature Strap uses saffiano leather — that signature cross-hatch embossed pattern you see on high-end bags and accessories. It is remarkably scratch-resistant and handles moisture better than most leathers, which makes it one of the most practical premium options you can put on a watch. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
On the Orient Bambino V2, this strap preserves the watch's go-anywhere character. The 40.5mm case at ~11.8mm thick pairs naturally with the padded construction without creating any imbalance on the wrist.
A combination that's greater than the sum of its parts.

2. Best Dressy — Glossy Caramel Crocodile Signature Strap
The Orient Bambino V2 cleans up remarkably well — and this strap is the reason.
The Glossy Caramel Crocodile Signature Strap is made from genuine crocodile leather with a distinctive scale pattern that no embossed leather can replicate. The texture adds visual depth and character that works equally well with a suit or a smart-casual outfit. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
What makes this pairing work on the Orient Bambino V2 is the contrast — the refined case finishing against the texture creates visual interest without conflict. With a 40.5mm case, the proportions stay balanced.
Once you see it on the wrist, it just clicks.

- Glossy Lagoon Blue Crocodile Signature Strap
- Glossy Taupe Brown Crocodile Signature Strap
- Glossy Grey Crocodile Signature Strap
3. Best Everyday — Grigio Pueblo Slim Strap
The strap you reach for without thinking — that's what an everyday pick should be.
The Grigio Pueblo Slim Strap features Buttero leather from the Walpier tannery in Italy. This vegetable-tanned leather develops one of the most beautiful patinas in watchmaking — scratches blend into the surface and the colour deepens over time. If you enjoy watching your strap age gracefully, this is the one. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
What makes this pairing work on the Orient Bambino V2 is the contrast — the refined case finishing against the texture creates visual interest without conflict. With a 40.5mm case, the proportions stay balanced.
Simple, effective, and genuinely enjoyable to wear.

4. Best Minimalist — Natural Shell Cordovan Slim Strap
Clean lines and no visual clutter — that's the appeal here.

5. Best Casual — Green Crazy Horse Side-Stitch Strap
Weekend straps should feel effortless. This one nails that.
The Green Crazy Horse Side-Stitch Strap uses crazy horse leather — an oil-infused leather that develops character with every scratch and mark. Rub a scratch with your thumb and it blends right back in. It is built for people who actually wear their watches, not baby them. At 2.5mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
The Orient Bambino V2's 40.5mm case is ideally proportioned for this strap. Whether you are wearing it casually or dressing it up, the combination feels intentional. It is the kind of pairing where both the watch and strap look better together than apart.
If this style appeals but you want a different tone:
- Black Crazy Horse Side-Stitch Strap
- Mocha Crazy Horse Side-Stitch Strap
- Tan Crazy Horse Side-Stitch Strap
- Cognac Crazy Horse Side-Stitch Strap
6. Best Sporty — Olive Green Waffle CTS Rubber Strap
When you need your Orient Bambino V2 ready for anything active, this is the pick — water-resistant, comfortable, and built to last.
The Olive Green Waffle CTS Rubber Strap is made from FKM rubber — a high-performance elastomer that resists chemicals, heat, and ageing. Unlike silicone, it does not attract dust or lint. Cut-to-size construction means you trim it to your exact wrist measurement — no leftover tail, no keepers. At 4.0–3.3mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
On the Orient Bambino V2, this strap preserves the watch's go-anywhere character. The 40.5mm case at ~11.8mm thick pairs naturally with the padded construction without creating any imbalance on the wrist.

7. The Wildcard — Forest Green Ostrich Leg Signature Strap
Think of this as the strap you didn't know you needed.
The Forest Green Ostrich Leg Signature Strap is made from ostrich leg leather. Unlike the body leather, ostrich leg has a distinctive scale-like texture with natural ridges and patterns that give it an almost reptilian character. It is soft, supple, and needs virtually no break-in time. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
The Orient Bambino V2's 40.5mm case is ideally proportioned for this strap. Whether you are wearing it casually or dressing it up, the combination feels intentional. It is the kind of pairing where both the watch and strap look better together than apart.

A Note on Buckle Colour
Quick but important: always match your buckle to your case. The Orient Bambino V2's Stainless steel (silver, gold, or two-tone) case calls for a gold buckle to match. All Delugs leather straps ship with a pin buckle and can be upgraded to a Spring Deployant Clasp for extra security and convenience. All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars pre-installed, so swapping straps takes seconds.
How to Change the Strap on Your Orient Bambino V2
Swapping straps on the Orient Bambino V2 is one of the easiest upgrades you can make — and with Delugs straps, you don't even need a tool.
If your Orient Bambino V2 came on a bracelet, you'll first need to remove it. The easiest way to do this at home is with a Bracelet Removal Tool, which lets you compress the spring bars without risking scratches to the lugs or caseback. Once the bracelet is off, you can slide your new Delugs strap straight in.
All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars already pre-installed, so changing straps is completely tool-free. Here's how:
- Prepare your workspace. Lay the watch face-down on a soft cloth or microfiber pad to protect the caseback from scratches.
- Release the spring bar. Locate the small lever on the quick-release spring bar. Pull it back with your fingernail or fingertip to compress the bar.
- Remove the strap. While holding the lever, angle the strap out from between the lugs. Repeat for the other side.
- Insert the new strap. Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug hole. Pull the lever on the quick-release spring bar knob, guide the entire spring bar into the opposite lug hole, and then release the knob. You should hear a small click when the spring bar extends and seats into the lug hole.
- Check the fit. Give the strap a gentle tug to make sure both spring bars are securely locked in. If there's any play, reseat the spring bar.
The entire process takes under a minute once you get the hang of it — no spring bar tool required. The Orient Bambino V2 uses a standard 21mm lug width, and all Delugs straps in 21mm will fit perfectly.
