Haute Elegance Oval Watch B81195282

The Watch

The "Haute Elegance Oval" watch by Balmain is the very embodiment of elegance and refinement. This timepiece's case takes a distinctive oval shape, defined by its clean lines and featherlight presence - weighing just 32 g. Crafted in 316L stainless steel, it wears a refined rose tone that lends the piece a feminine radiance. The watch measures 31.70 mm in length and 26.00 mm in width, with a slender 6.45 mm thickness that makes it both discreet and eye-catching on the wrist. The case is topped by a sapphire crystal, offering exceptional scratch resistance while keeping the dial perfectly clear. A single crown adorns the side of the case with understated elegance, combining perfect ergonomics with both aesthetic and functional appeal.

The Dial

The dial of this watch is a study in refinement, with a subtle mother-of-pearl finish that captures the light with quiet elegance. The hours are indicated by Roman numerals, lending the design a classic, timeless character. Slender, distinguished hands offer a clear, effortless reading of hours, minutes, and seconds. A dedicated small seconds sub-dial is thoughtfully positioned, adding an extra dimension to the dial.

The Movement

Beneath this graceful design beats a high-quality Swiss movement. Powered by an ETA quartz movement - specifically the ETA 980.153 caliber - this watch delivers unmatched precision and reliability. This mechanism provides a clean, fluid reading of hours, minutes, and seconds.

The Bracelet

This timepiece is completed by a brown cowhide leather strap, combining comfort and elegance. The strap features a 13 mm lug width, integrating seamlessly with the watch's overall design. The brown tone creates a subtle contrast with the rose-toned case, offering an attractive visual balance. A pin buckle ensures a secure, reliable fit while keeping the wrist comfortable all day.

Water Resistance

This watch carries a 5 ATM water resistance rating, equivalent to 50 meters of pressure resistance. While this primarily means protection against splashes and rain - making it ideal for everyday activities - it should be kept away from diving or extended submersion.
