Cap Camarat Square Automatic Watch 1646B16

The Watch

Herbelin has carved out a distinct place in watchmaking with models that balance expertise, design, and quality - true to its founding principles. Since 1947, Herbelin has been a family story steeped in horological heritage, continuously refining its craft to build iconic collections like the Newport line. Its watches reflect its core values: making timepieces built to last while honoring artisanal, distinctly French craftsmanship. Through recent collaborations and ever-evolving collections, the brand continues to shape the future of French watchmaking without losing sight of its prestigious past. From the Cap Camarat collection comes this magnificent 1646B16 watch with an elegant design. It features a square case with screws, crafted in polished and brushed 316L stainless steel with a silver-toned finish. The case measures 39 mm wide, 39 mm long, and 10.35 mm thick - proportions perfectly suited to men's wrists. A flat sapphire crystal protects the dial from everyday scratches and shocks. The crown at 3 o'clock allows easy adjustment of the hands and date window. Finally, this timepiece features a screw-down transparent case back that reveals the movement while providing water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

This green dial showcases a dual striped and smoked finish that enhances the watch's appeal. Its edge is framed by a minute track paired with hour markers. The markers and the two baton hands at the center feature a luminescent coating for improved legibility in the dark. The hands display hours and minutes, while a grey seconds hand tracks the seconds. A date window at 6 o'clock completes the display. Herbelin signs the dial with its name at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement - specifically the Sellita SW200-1 caliber, which handles accurate timekeeping for hours, minutes, and the date. With 26 jewels, it delivers a power reserve of 41 hours and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. It also includes a stop-seconds function.

The Strap

This handsome bracelet is crafted in silver-toned 316L stainless steel. Comfortable and elegantly designed, it's a statement piece on the wrist. Suited to all styles, it features a polished and brushed finish and fastens securely with an easy-to-use deployant clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - making it a genuinely water-resistant watch. It's ready to take on aquatic adventures with you, from puddles to the pool. Showering, bathing, and recreational swimming are no problem. That said, watchmaking experts note that while water-resistant, this model is not designed for diving (professional or otherwise) and should not be exposed to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers dry during immersion.
