Haute Elegance B81344212 Watch

The Watch

French fashion house Balmain presents its latest creation: the B81344212 watch from the Haute Élégance collection! Its luxurious, refined design pays tribute to Pierre Balmain's iconic "Antonia" dress, first unveiled at the Spring-Summer 1954 collection. Crowned by a robust sapphire crystal, its round case measures 30 mm in diameter and 4.82 mm thick. At 3 o'clock sits the classic winding crown for easy time-setting. Fitted with a snap-on case back, this watch delivers a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

This elegant red dial showcases a bold tricolor finish. It features a fixed mineral bezel in red bearing the "Pierre Balmain" lettering, which frames a perfect circle of silver-tone Roman numerals from 1 to 12 marking the hours. What truly makes this watch a gem, however, is its central arabesque motif - delicate and finely crafted. This pattern beautifully highlights a large hand for the minutes and a smaller one for the hours, alongside the space reserved for the maison's logo. The "Swiss Made" inscription also appears between 7 and 5 o'clock.

The Movement

Inside this superb watch's case beats a Swiss manufacture movement, the ETA 282.002 - a high-end caliber that drives both central hands at the perfect cadence!

The Bracelet

The maison has given this red leather strap a distinctive crocodile finish, lending this watch - which fastens with a pin buckle - a resolutely sophisticated edge.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. Designed to be as beautiful as it is capable, this watch can hold its own against the elements. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it gently on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. As for swimming and diving, we strongly advise against wearing this watch in the water to avoid damage and costly repairs.
