The Watch

BA111OD is a brand that has quickly made a name for itself in Swiss haute horlogerie. Founded in 2019, its current reputation stems from its innovative production and distribution concept that has shaken up industry conventions. Watch enthusiasts applaud the brand for its commitment to quality, captivating designs, and remarkable value. Now offering exclusively Swiss Made timepieces, it introduces the Chapitre 3.6 - Azur Watch, designed to be worn by everyone and equipped with two connected chips. This model belongs to the Chapitre 3 line, which has been a runaway success, conceived as a more accessible alternative to the brand's tourbillon watches. It features an exceptional design and cutting-edge technology, crafted for those who appreciate both style and functionality. Its round case measures 42 mm in diameter and 10.65 mm thick, giving it an undeniably charming presence. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it is durable, lightweight, and hypoallergenic, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience. Silver-toned, it alternates between polished and brushed finishes, embodying elegance and sophistication. A domed sapphire crystal sits above the middle case, adding a more classic touch to the design. Promising excellent dial protection against scratches, it delivers optimal legibility thanks to a double anti-reflective coating. At 4 o'clock sits the signed, polished crown with a grooved grip, making it easy to set the hour and minute hands. The whole is complemented by a caseback secured by 6 screws with a transparent mineral glass display window, letting you admire the movement's inner workings. Note that the caseback delivers a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

Blending urban inspiration with classic refinement, the dial of this watch has a truly distinguished character. It features a azure blue hue that radiates elegance and style. This gradient backdrop is brought to life by a sunray effect and an ultra-fine radial brushing that is as subtle as it is captivating. This contrasts beautifully with the grey-toned beveled baton hour markers, polished and faceted, which appear to radiate from the center to the edge. On its darker surround, a traditional minute track with white bars lines the perimeter. The skeletonized hands for hours and minutes are treated with luminescence to ensure clear legibility in low-light environments. Paired with a slim silver seconds hand, they lend the dial a refined elegance. An open heart at 1 o'clock offers a striking view of the balance spring - the watch's vital organ, regulating the passage of time through its vibrations. It extends into a second open heart at 7 o'clock, revealing the internal mechanics and adding a dynamic touch to this fascinating dial. The finishing touch is the brand's signature engraved at 4 o'clock, followed by "Swiss Made" as a mark of authenticity.

The Movement

Inside the case beats a high-performing Swiss automatic movement. More specifically, it is the STP 06-15 caliber, equipped with 26 jewels and running at a frequency of 28,800 (4 Hz) vibrations per hour. Delivering precise and reliable operation along with a 38-hour power reserve, it drives an analog three-hand display.

The Strap

This watch comes with two strap options, both offering optimal wrist comfort. Each features a solid deployment clasp for a secure fit.

The first strap is crafted from bovine leather in brown with a Saffiano finish for a striking look. Elevated by grey stitching, it adds a touch that is both classic and timeless, ready to accompany you on every occasion.

The second strap is crafted from 316L stainless steel in a silver tone, exuding timeless appeal. With alternating polished and brushed finishes, it delivers a classic, refined aesthetic. Lightweight and hypoallergenic, it ensures a comfortable wearing experience.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch is your first step into the world of water resistance. While not designed for bathing, sport swimming, or scuba diving, you can afford to forget to take it off in the shower. That said, our team of experts recommends keeping this timepiece dry whenever possible to preserve its movement for years to come.
