1956 3H Black Watch

The Watch

Echo/Neutra presents the fruit of its latest creation: the 1956 3H. Its round stainless steel case measures 40 mm in diameter and 11.9 mm in thickness. It features a sapphire crystal - a true mark of quality - with a screwed case back, attached to the wrist by a black NATO strap. The model is brought to life by vintage black and beige tones, delivering a refined, understated look. Its glossy black bezel harmonizes with the matte elements on the dial and bezel. The screwed steel crown at 3 o'clock integrates seamlessly into this watch's design. The fixed bezel is black, while the graduation appears in beige for a vintage feel. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it's ready to go wherever you go.

The Dial

The dial features 3 hands: the seconds hand with its small red indicator, an arrow-shaped hour hand, and a color-tipped minute hand. A minute track railroad runs all the way around the dial. Stick indexes alongside Arabic numerals at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock enable faster time reading, with the brand name displayed just below the 12 o'clock index. The 1956 logo sits just above the 6 o'clock index. The matte sections on the dial and hands are luminescent, ensuring excellent visibility in the dark.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by a refined Swiss automatic Sellita SW-200-1 movement. With its analog display, this model offers quick and easy time reading with precise, hassle-free adjustment. It delivers a power reserve of 38 hours and operates at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The Strap

This charming model comes dressed with a choice of vintage black leather strap, a black water buffalo leather strap, a mesh milanese strap, or a stainless steel link bracelet. It features a 20 mm lug width and fastens with a pin buckle on the leather straps, a clip buckle on the milanese mesh, or a deployant buckle on the link bracelet. The watch also comes with a second Tropic strap in black rubber.

Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, or 10 atmospheres - as we say in watchmaking. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming. That said, our team of expert watchmakers will tell you this model is not designed for diving, recreational or professional. Remember: showers, baths, and open-water swimming are all fine - but keep the buttons and crown dry!
