The Watch

Launched in 1955, Kelton is one of the most iconic watch brands of the '70s. Today, it crafts modern timepieces with a distinctive vintage touch and clean, unfussy designs. The brand is releasing the 1955 9123962 watch as a limited edition, produced in just 100 numbered pieces. Completely redesigned, its tonneau case measures 39.50 mm in diameter and 13 mm in thickness, crafted in stainless steel. Its meticulously brushed finish delivers a refined aesthetic that harmonizes perfectly with its silver tone. The case houses a notched bezel whose silver insert features a black minute track. The dial is protected by a flat sapphire crystal, ensuring a clear view of all its elements. On the right side of the case, you'll find a screw-down crown with a 7 mm diameter, engraved with the brand's logo. Notched, it handles the setting of hours, minutes, and date. The whole is sealed by a screw-down case back that delivers a perfect water resistance rating of 40 ATM.

The Dial

Clean and refined, the dial of this watch is a masterclass in minimalist, timeless elegance. It sports a deep navy blue color that contrasts beautifully with the round white hour markers. The brand has chosen to oversize those at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, and all markers are treated with a coat of SuperLuminova. Delivering optimal legibility even in low-light conditions, this feature also extends to the large silver-toned sword hands for hours and minutes, while the seconds hand is a slender, eye-catching red sweep hand. A round date window with a white background sits at 3 o'clock. The whole is framed by an inner bezel featuring a minute track with bold markers every 5 minutes and Arabic numerals. The finishing touch is the brand's signature at 12 o'clock, accompanied by the movement reference and water resistance rating at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Beating at the heart of this model is the Miyota 8215 automatic movement. Japanese-made, it is reliable and robust, with a power reserve of 42 hours. This movement features 21 jewels and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph, with an accuracy of -20/+40 seconds per day. It will prove highly effective at driving all central functions with precision.

The Strap

The strap completing this watch is crafted in vulcanized natural rubber. Of the Tropic type, it features a black color, a textured surface, and perforations for added character. Its pin buckle provides a comfortable and secure fit around the wrist.

Water Resistance

This model delivers a water resistance of 40 atmospheres, or 400 meters. Whether you're splashing around in the pool with the kids or tackling serious professional diving, this watch is ready for anything the deep blue throws at it. The Ocarat team wishes you happy underwater adventures - just remember not to operate the pushers or the crown on your way down!
