Designed to complement women's wrists, the octagonal case is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a brushed/polished finish that gives it a timeless appeal. It measures 31 mm in diameter, 41.20 mm in length, and 7.65 mm thick, weighing 98 g. Comfortable to wear, it's framed by a fixed bezel with a warm PVD rose-toned finish, engraved with Roman numeral and baton indices featuring half-sunken edges for a visually refined look. A sapphire crystal protects the dial from shocks and scratches. At 3 o'clock, a grey crown with a ridged design lets you easily set the time and date. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters via its case back.

The Dial

"A round dial in white sits gracefully within the case, giving the watch a soft, sophisticated feel thanks to its mother-of-pearl base and sparkling diamonds. Of VS-SI quality, these white stones of perfect cut sizes are set into the round hour indices around the dial's edge. Catching the light from every angle, they measure approximately 0.90-0.95 mm in diameter with a total weight of 0.043 carats. Two alpha hands and a slender rose gold seconds hand sweep across the dial, pointing to hours, minutes, and seconds with precision along a minute track marked with black and rose-toned dots. A date window at 4 o'clock reveals black Arabic numerals on a white background. Balmain marks the "Swiss Made" label at 6 o'clock and signs the dial with its name just below 12."

The Movement

This watch runs on a Swiss quartz movement, known for its reliability and precision. Powering the hands and date function, it's the caliber F04.115 - delivering accurate, dependable display of hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Manufactured by ETA, this 3-jewel movement features an end-of-life battery indicator (EOL), a stop-seconds function, and the HeavyDrive system.

The Bracelet

Crafted in 316L stainless steel, this elegant two-tone bracelet brings a final note of sophistication to the design. It flatters the wrist in any setting with its clean lines and versatile style. Flexible yet structured, it features a central row of rose PVD links flanked by two silver-toned rows for a striking contrast. Brushed and polished finishes add a timeless charm and a modern edge. The bracelet measures 16 mm wide at the lug with strand lengths of 88/78.20 mm. Secured with a butterfly push-button deployant clasp at 16 mm wide, it fits wrists measuring 133.90 to 197.20 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters (5 ATM), this timepiece can handle the occasional splash - but it's not built for submersion. Feel free to wear it in the shower every now and then, but to keep the movement running at its best, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from bath, pool, or ocean water. Bottom line: no swimming, no diving, and no prolonged contact with water.
