Elysée Watch 455F626

The Watch

Founded in 1977 by Béatrice and Jean-Paul Burgun - two passionate watch enthusiasts - Pierre Lannier has become a household name in French watchmaking. The brand offers beautifully crafted timepieces that blend refinement with everyday wearability. This women's Elysée Watch 455F626 draws inspiration from France and its heritage. Pairing elegance with beauty, it showcases a round case in polished stainless steel for a brilliant finish. The case measures 35 mm in diameter with a 12.15 mm thickness, fitted with a mineral crystal. A gray notched crown on the right side allows for easy time setting. This watch weighs 200 grams and features a screw-down case back delivering a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

This striking dial will elevate any look. Its skeleton finish puts the movement's inner workings on full display. Above it, a captivating motif featuring the letters R and F takes center stage - the unofficial emblem of the French Republic, composed of a shield, a lictor's fasces, and branches of oak and olive, nodding to the brand's French roots. For timekeeping, the dial features a minute railroad track border with silver baton indexes on a beautiful gray sunray background. Three center-mounted hands sweep across: the red seconds hand tracks elapsed seconds, the long hand indicates minutes, and the short hand marks the hours. The latter two are sword-shaped and coated with a luminescent treatment for optimal legibility in any light. The brand's name appears at 6 o'clock as a signature, with its logo just below 12.

The Movement

Beating at the heart of this timepiece is a Miyota 8N24 automatic movement. Of Japanese origin, this mechanism features an oscillation frequency of 21,600 A/h, 21 jewels, and a power reserve of 42 hours - delivering reliable precision across all its functions.

The Strap

This strap adds a refined touch to your look. Crafted from bovine leather, it's supple yet durable, ensuring all-day comfort on the wrist. White contrast stitching beautifully offsets its rich blue tone. It measures 14 mm wide, with a 105 mm long strap and a 75 mm short end - dimensions that will hug your wrist perfectly. The pin buckle makes it easy to put on and adjust to your liking.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance up to 5 atmospheres (50 m) - built to shine in social settings while holding its own against the elements. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the counter to keep it looking its best for longer. Swimming and diving, however, are a no-go: prolonged submersion risks damaging the movement and leaving you with a repair bill.
