Bell Hora Watch BHO908

The Watch

Discover the stunning Bell Hora watch, a masterpiece from the renowned MeisterSinger manufacture. True to form, the German brand has crafted this automatic model in its signature classically timeless, distinguished spirit. The iconic single-hand display - a hallmark of the maison - graces this timepiece once again, here rendered in deep blues and warm browns. This model revives a forgotten horological complication: the passing strike. A chime sounds at the exact moment the hand reaches each hour. Designed with the male wrist in mind, its polished stainless steel case measures 43 x 13 millimeters (diameter, thickness). It is protected by a sapphire crystal with scratch-resistant properties and a slight dome. At three o'clock, a delicately sculpted crown allows for time adjustment. Flip the watch over to discover a transparent case back offering a full view of the magnificent movement in action - secured in place by four screws.

The Dial

On a perfectly round form, the dial of this automatic watch showcases a deep blue. A sunray finish adds subtle, understated reflections. Its circumference features a precise white double minute track, complemented by Arabic numerals in the same color marking the hours across three lines, running from 1 to 24. Time is read via the dial's one single, long white hand - the unmistakable signature of the maison. A small bell is drawn at 6 o'clock as a nod to the model's striking complication.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss automatic movement - the Sellita SW 200 caliber. This mechanism features 25 jewels and delivers a power reserve of 40 hours. Its oscillation frequency runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour. A single hand displays both the hours and the minutes.

The Strap

A cognac brown leather strap featuring crocodile embossing and orange contrast stitching dresses the case, enhancing its timeless elegance. It fastens with a silver-tone pin buckle and has a lug width of 20 millimeters.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 meters. It's crafted to be strikingly beautiful and turn heads in any social setting - yet its refined looks in no way compromise its ability to handle everyday elements. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it aside on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over the long run. Swimming and scuba diving, however, are strongly discouraged, as exposure to those conditions could damage the watch and result in costly repairs.
