Belza Edition Bronze Watch

The Watch

March LAB is a brand born from the encounter of two stories and two cities, defined by excellence and creativity. Its high-performance watches combine sharp technical expertise, premium materials, and clean design - the perfect expression of its "Less is More" philosophy. The Belza Edition Bronze is a charismatic and utterly unique timepiece conceived for surfers, created as a tribute to Villa Belza, the majestic residence on the Côte des Basques in Biarritz. It pays homage to Peter Viertel, the American filmmaker who settled there and introduced the joys of wave-riding to the coast. Designed to take on whatever life throws at it, this stunning watch features a round bronze case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 14.50 mm thick, with a brushed finish that gives it undeniable character. Built for the modern man, it houses a black ceramic bezel with a distinctive unidirectional atypical pattern that commands attention. The bezel rotates on 120 clicks for precise timekeeping and features a minute track. The dial is protected by a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal that shields against daily impacts while ensuring optimal legibility. A stunning screw-down crown at 4 o'clock handles all function adjustments. Engraved with the logo, it looks great and is easy to operate. Finally, the screw-down case back, engraved with Villa Belza, guarantees water resistance to 20 ATM.

The Dial

The dial of this beautiful watch captivates with its urban aesthetic and clean design. Set against a black backdrop with a sandblasted finish, it's built around the iconic "Cross Hair" style of the 1970s. Its baton-shaped indexes are bold and punctuated with round motifs, flanking the two matching hands that mark the hours and minutes. These markers are coated with white Super-LumiNova for legibility even in the dark. A slim gold Lollipop-style seconds hand completes the layout. A fine minute track runs along the outer edge for added precision, and at 3 o'clock, a date window with a gold border displays the date - shown in green on the 3rd of each month. The brand's logo is signed at 12 o'clock, followed by its name.

The Movement

At the heart of this superb timepiece beats an ultra-high-performance automatic movement born from a partnership between Swiss manufacture La Joux-Perret and the family-owned Bisontine house Humbert-Droz. It's the Swiss caliber La Joux Perret G100, assembled in France - a precision mechanism featuring 24 jewels, measuring 24.6 mm x 4.45 mm, and oscillating at 28,800 vph. Its stop-seconds function delivers exceptional accuracy, varying between -4 and +6 sec/day. Powering both the hands and the date window, it offers a power reserve of 68 hours.

The Strap

March LAB pairs this fabulous watch with two straps for a chic, everyday total look. Sturdy and comfortable, they're designed to complement any outfit and each fastens with an ardillon buckle clasp for a secure fit on the wrist.

The first is crafted in black bovine leather. It harmonizes beautifully with the bezel's tone. Its aged, perforated texture lends a vintage feel, while the matched stitching adds extra charm.

The second strap is crafted in black silicone. Classic and urban, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit - from casual to sophisticated - and adds a refined touch to your wrist.

Water Resistance

This model delivers water resistance to 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters. A true companion for deep-water adventures - it's built for freediving. Rain, high-pressure washers, showers, baths, lap swimming, and freediving are all fair game. For scuba diving with tanks, however, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged to protect the movement's integrity.
