AM2 Automatique Navy Automatic Watch

The Watch

French watchmaker March La.b has carved out a distinctive place in the world of horology through its perfect combination of elegant aesthetics and subtle nods to its core inspiration: the automobile. The angular case shape feels deeply rooted in the bodywork profiles of that era. This AM2 Automatique Navy embraces a retro design drawn from the 1970s. Its case is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a beautifully alternating polished / brushed finish that frames and protects the dial. A domed sapphire crystal sits on top, fitted with an anti-reflective coating for effortless legibility even in direct sunlight. On the caseback, a screwed, transparent display reveals the Franco-Swiss automatic movement through a green-tinted crystal - a nod to the house's signature color. The crown at four o'clock is engraved with the brand's logo and echoes the fuel cap of a vintage car. This watch is like no other - a perfect expression of the March La.b spirit, where watchmaking quality meets bold, unconventional design.

The Dial

Driven by an obsessive attention to detail, this AM2 Automatique Navy features a square dial in sunburst blue steel that is undoubtedly the watch's most striking asset. Masterfully crafted, the time markers take on truly original shapes. Inspired by the world of automobiles, this dial looks like it was lifted straight from the hood of a luxury car. Eleven indices - arranged in an almost seemingly random pattern - mark the hours, while the minute track handles the precise timekeeping. The hour and minute hands, along with the seconds hand, sweep across this expanse of blue steel. A rectangular date window sits at six o'clock, displaying the current date in Arabic numerals.

The Movement

The case of this AM2 Automatique Navy houses an automatic movement - the Franco-Swiss caliber La Joux-Perret G100 beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. It delivers a power reserve of 68 hours and offers hours, minutes, seconds, and date via a window at six o'clock.

The Strap

March Lab invites you to personalize your watch with a selection of three distinctive straps, blending style and craftsmanship.
Make a bold statement with the perforated black bison leather strap, paired with a steel pin buckle.
For an extra touch of prestige, fall for the black alligator leather strap - the ultimate symbol of timeless elegance.
Or go contemporary and sporty with the three-link brushed steel bracelet, featuring a deployant clasp for maximum comfort.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 10 atmospheres - equivalent to 100 meters - this is a genuinely water-resistant watch. Suited for bathing, showering, and recreational swimming, but not for diving (professional or otherwise) or high-pressure cleaning equipment, your new companion will keep up with most of your aquatic adventures. One important note: the Ocarat watch team recommends avoiding use of the crown and pushers during water activities to preserve the water resistance and integrity of the movement.
