Cap Camarat Diver Automatic 1745A14CMD Watch

The Watch

Herbelin is a French watchmaking brand sharing its expertise with the world. Its story began in 1947 in the cradle of French watchmaking - Charquemont, a village nestled in the heart of the Jura mountains. Committed to restoring the prestige of traditional French watchmaking, the house crafts robust and elegant timepieces designed to accompany you through everyday life. Every model is conceived, developed, and rigorously tested to deliver lasting precision. Today, it presents the Cap Camarat Diver Automatic 1745A14CMD watch, built for men's wrists. It features a barrel-shaped case crafted in brushed and polished 316L stainless steel, with a bezel adorned with screw heads. Silver-toned, it measures 42 mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.30 mm. A sapphire crystal shields the dial from impact, while two lightly ridged grey crowns on the right side ensure a confident grip and control over the watch's functions. The whole is closed by a transparent case back guaranteeing 20 ATM water resistance - and offering a mesmerizing view of the movement within.

The Dial

This dial displays the time with effortless clarity. Its black background is enhanced by horizontal stripes rendered in white lines. The bezel features a rotating ring displaying a minute scale and a luminescent marker at 12 o'clock - essential for tracking elapsed time during a dive. Around it, silver geometric indexes are arranged in a circle to indicate the hours. All time markers are swept by center-mounted hands - two baton-style hands in grey for minutes and hours, and a slim orange seconds hand. All are coated with a white luminescent treatment for clear reading in low-light conditions - a treatment also applied to the hour indexes. For added functionality, a double window at 3 o'clock displays the day of the week in English abbreviation and the current date. At 6 o'clock, the Made in France origin is noted, while water resistance is indicated above. The brand signs its name beneath the 12 o'clock index along with the movement type.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement - the Sellita SW220-1 caliber - delivering strong resistance to vibrations and precise indication of hours, days, and date. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 4 Hz, and features 26 jewels to minimize friction. It offers a power reserve of 41 hours.

The Bracelet

This eye-catching strap is built to go anywhere with you. Crafted in silicone, it combines outstanding durability with a natural flexibility that molds to your wrist. Lightweight and comfortable, its vibrant orange tone ensures it never goes unnoticed. Detailed with embossed lines and secured by an ardillon buckle, it's as practical as it is bold.

Water Resistance

This model delivers a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - making it a true companion for deep-water adventures. Designed for freediving, it can also handle high-pressure water jets without breaking a sweat. Shower, bath, lap swimming, and freediving are all fair game. For scuba diving with tanks, however, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Also, avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged to preserve the movement's integrity.
