Classic R Lady Watch B43123112

The Watch

Balmain is a French brand that has carved out a distinct place in every field it enters. Its collections feature refined timepieces crafted from durable materials built to stand the test of time and retain their brilliance from day one. The Classic R Lady - B43123112 is a timepiece that will set you apart and draw admiring glances to your wrist. Designed specifically for women's wrists, it features a round case crafted in polished stainless steel. For added distinction, it is finished with a yellow PVD treatment that lends it a vibrant, eye-catching look. The case measures 34 mm in diameter and 6.80 mm in thickness, weighing 114 grams. Its surface is protected by a flat sapphire crystal that shields the dial from scratches, while a polished crown with ridges is positioned on the right side. It features a matching black cabochon, and its shape makes it easy to operate the analog display. Finally, the snap-back case ensures the watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM.

The Dial

The dial of this beautiful watch was designed with effortless readability in mind. Clean and refined, it features a matte white base with a delicate arabesque motif at its center. This decoration is framed by baton indexes alternating with Roman numerals at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock. These markers display a golden yellow tone that is echoed on the dauphine hands and the slender seconds hand. The same color accent appears on the border of the date window at 6 o'clock, creating perfect harmony and contrast across the dial. The perimeter is highlighted by a black minute track with small squares at every 5-minute interval. The ensemble is completed by the brand signature inscribed in black below 12 o'clock, and the "Swiss Made" inscription replacing the graduations at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement - the ETA F05.115 caliber, featuring 3 jewels and a diameter of 23.30 mm. Equipped with HeavyDrive technology, this movement includes a stop-seconds function and a battery end-of-life indicator. Powered by a 371 battery, it delivers precise three-hand analog display with a date window.

Bracelet

The strap accompanying this model is an elegant complement that enhances the aesthetic appeal of this timepiece. Crafted in stainless steel with a yellow PVD coating, it features 7 rows of links - grey on the outer rows and yellow at the center. Its appeal is further elevated by its polished and brushed finishes, while the clasp is a deployment buckle with push buttons.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. Its elegance never comes at the expense of durability - this watch is built to hold its own against the elements. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and scuba diving, however, are strongly discouraged, as water damage is not covered under the warranty.
