Bronze Hammerhead LJ-HB-001 Watch

The Watch

Le Jour is one of the watchmaking brands that perfectly embodies Swiss excellence and know-how. Drawing inspiration from the worlds of motorsport, nautical adventure, and aviation, it crafts watches that are both refined and high-performing. The simplicity and elegance of its models reflect a genuine desire to create unique pieces. Today, the brand is proud to unveil its latest collection - shaped by the precious input of its fans. At the heart of this new line stands the striking Hammerhead Bronze LJ-HB-001, with its modern, chic style. It is a reinterpretation of the popular steel Hammerhead dive watch launched in 2020. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it features a tonneau case made from CuSn8 bronze. This renowned material develops a unique vintage patina over time through a natural aging process. It is enhanced by a superb combination of brushed and polished finishes for a compelling result. With a diameter of 39 mm, a length of 45 mm, and a thickness of 13 mm, it is the perfect watch for men who value authenticity. The knurled, unidirectional bezel with a blue ceramic insert delivers a striking contrast, marked with white triangles and framing the domed sapphire crystal that covers and protects the dial from daily wear. Its anti-reflective treatment ensures optimal legibility of the central indicators, which are set via the screw-down crown positioned at 3 o'clock. Its knurled profile makes it easy to grip during adjustment. Finally, the screw-down and engraved hammerhead shark-stamped case back guarantees water resistance to 20 ATM.

The Dial

This beautiful watch boasts a captivating dial that enhances its charm. Round in shape, it features a blue color evoking the ocean depths. A striking combination of brushed and sunray finishes lends a distinctive touch to the whole. Its bezel reveals a blue and white bicolor ring marked with a minute track. At its center, three hands in bronze sweep energetically across the dial. The short hand marks the hours, the longer one the minutes, while the arrow-tipped seconds hand counts the seconds. They point to twelve indices rendered as Arabic numerals and triangles. These indicators are coated with Swiss SuperLuminova BGW9 luminescent treatment for excellent legibility even in complete darkness. For precise timekeeping, a date window displays the current date. Finally, the brand signs its name at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss-made automatic movement - the Sellita SW-200 caliber, ensuring the smooth operation of the hands and the date window. Renowned for its reliability and robustness, it beats at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). It is equipped with 26 jewels and offers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The Strap

A gorgeous blue silicone strap accompanies this watch. Perfectly matched to its dial, it delivers both comfort and a sleek look. Versatile and elegant, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit. Its lug width measures 18 mm and can be adjusted easily with its pin buckle.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 200 meters - or 20 ATM for those who prefer the clean, technical language of watchmaking - this watch is built for casual dives. It can handle shower water, bath water, and even the sea or a pool during shallow, recreational dives (freediving). For professional scuba diving with tanks, our Ocarat watch team has hand-picked 30 ATM models available in our catalog through an additional search on our site. One last reminder before we let you enjoy it: never operate the pushers or crown while underwater!
