Haute Elegance Watch B81373212

The Watch

The prestigious French fashion house founded by Pierre Balmain presents, through the Haute Élégance collection, Swiss-made timepieces inspired by the iconic "Antonia" dress from the Spring-Summer 1954 collection. This model features a gorgeous round stainless steel case measuring 30 mm in diameter and 4.82 mm thick, fitted with a sapphire crystal. In watchmaking, this type of crystal is prized for its resistance to shocks and everyday scratches. A crown is positioned at 3 o'clock. Note that the snap-on case back gives this jewelry watch a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

This exquisite timepiece features a black and gold dial - black for sophistication, gold for power and luxury. It's composed of two circles: the first is defined by a black mineral bezel bearing the maison's name; the second showcases Roman numerals marking the hours. At the center, black arabesque motifs add depth to the dial and beautifully frame the two hands for hours and minutes. Finally, the maison's name appears a second time at 12 o'clock, alongside the "Swiss Made" inscription between 7 and 5 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by a Swiss ETA 282.002 movement. Precise and reliable, it drives the two dauphine hands at the center of the dial.

The Strap

With a black leather strap featuring a crocodile finish, this timepiece delivers a truly luxurious look. The strap fastens with a pin buckle.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It's designed to dazzle - a showstopper built to hold its own against the elements. While you can wear it in the shower, the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and scuba diving are strongly discouraged, as water damage could leave you facing costly repairs.
