Chapitre 3.5 Zest Watch

The Watch

Founded in 2019, BA111OD set out to disrupt the watch industry with its innovative "Digital Omnicanal Vertical Brand" distribution model. The brand offers bold timepieces that combine elegant design with cutting-edge technical craftsmanship, underpinned by high-performance Swiss automatic movements for exceptional precision and reliability. Among its diverse creations is the Chapitre 3.5 Zest - a highly elegant watch that merges classic design with modern touches. It boasts a perfectly balanced round case with striking finishes, crafted from highly resistant 316L stainless steel with a gun metal PVD treatment that gives it a rich dark grey hue. With a 42 mm diameter and a 10.65 mm thickness (excluding the crystal), this case suits both men's and women's wrists. Its domed sapphire crystal adds a beautiful classic touch while flawlessly protecting the dial from scratches. Thanks to its double anti-reflective coating, indicator legibility is always optimal. The ridged crown sits at 4 o'clock and features an embossed logo for a distinctive finishing touch - setting the hands while adding to the watch's unique personality. Flip the case over and you'll find a 6-screw case back with a transparent mineral glass window showcasing the movement's stunning complications. This case back also ensures a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

Captivating from first glance, the dial radiates elegance and style. Its grey base features a smoky gradient that creates a dynamic, modern depth, enhanced by a beautiful sunray finish and radial brushing for a touch of sophistication. Beveled, polished baton indices draw the eye from the center to the outer edge, where an orange minute track marks the graduations. That same vibrant orange accent appears on the tip of the grey seconds hand and in the "Swiss Made" inscription at 4 o'clock. The hour and minute hands feature a sleek openworked silhouette with luminescent treatment for improved readability in the dark. A stunning open heart at 1 o'clock offers a mesmerizing view of the balance spring, extending into a smaller second open heart at 8 o'clock. This extraordinary dial captures the brand's relentless drive to push watchmaking innovation to new heights - and the brand signs its masterpiece with its name at 4 o'clock.

The Movement

Inside the case sits the Soprod P024 caliber - a Swiss automatic movement based on the ETA 2824-2. Fitted with 25 jewels, it beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers a power reserve of 38 hours, driving a highly accurate three-hand analog display.

The Strap

To complete its striking look, this watch comes with two interchangeable straps for versatile styling. Both are fitted with deployment clasps for a secure, reliable fit every day.

The first strap is crafted in black Saffiano bovine leather. Elegant and bold, it brings a sharp finishing touch to your look. Orange contrast stitching creates a beautiful harmony with the dial and injects a vibrant pop of color into the watch's sleek design. It also features two connected NFC chips - one can store your digital business card or any file or link you want to share at the tap of a wrist, while the other provides direct access to the BA111OD boutique.

The second strap has a timeless appeal with a classic, refined aesthetic. Crafted from stainless steel, it features three rows of links enhanced with a gun metal PVD finish. Exceptionally comfortable, it drapes beautifully on the wrist for an outstanding everyday wearing experience.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle some water exposure, but prolonged contact is not recommended. You can wear it through the occasional shower, but our team of watch specialists strongly advises keeping it away from the pool, the ocean, and the bathtub to preserve the movement's quality and precision. In short: no swimming, no diving, no extended water immersion.
