Summary
The 2nd generation Bambino version 1 is perhaps one of the more affordable watches which make this list. It’s simple and looks far more expensive than it is. The leather band is not of the same caliber as that of the Hamilton Khaki Field watch. The band might feel stiff at first, but over time it should become more comfortable.
