HD1 «Équinoxe» Watch - Humbert Droz

The Watch

The Humbert story began in 1956 - and has been passed down through four generations ever since. This French brand crafts timepieces rooted in watchmaking tradition, always delivering the very best. From the HD1 collection, meet the stunning Équinoxe Watch with open-heart complication, available as a limited edition of 300 pieces. Its eye-catching design brings a vibrant pop of color to any look. The cushion-shaped case in screw-down 316L stainless steel features a black PVD treatment and measures 41 mm in diameter and 13.50 mm thick - proportions that sit perfectly on men's wrists. A mineral glass crystal tops the case, showcasing the beauty of the dial. A black carbon screw-down crown at 3 o'clock lets you adjust the hours and minutes whenever needed. The screw-down stainless steel caseback features a central transparent aperture, offering a stunning view of the movement while ensuring water resistance to 10 ATM.

The Dial

This timepiece wears a dial designed for effortless readability. Round in shape, its deep blue sunray finish catches the light and draws every eye on your wrist. A graduation rings the outer edge, and a railroad track marks the minutes. Baton indexes and three silver Arabic numerals serve as hour markers. Two grey sword-shaped hands with Luminova treatment indicate hours and minutes with reliable legibility even in the dark. A yellow seconds hand with a luminescent arrow tip sweeps the dial for the seconds. From 60 to 15 on the dial's edge, a yellow band adds a bold design accent to the watch. The open-heart complication at 12 o'clock offers a captivating view of the movement in action. The brand name and movement type are printed at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made automatic ETA 2824 movement assembled in France, bringing the HD1's hands to life with outstanding precision. It offers a 38-hour power reserve and beats at 28,800 BPH.

The Strap

This strap is crafted from blue Cordura fabric - comfortable and flexible, made for any occasion. It's accented with yellow topstitching and French flag-colored side stitching. The lug width is 24 mm, and a stainless steel deployant clasp keeps it securely in place.

Water Resistance

Water-resistant to 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece handles both black-tie evenings and aquatic adventures with ease. Shower, bath, or an energetic swim? Go for it. That said, our team of watchmaking experts wants to be clear: this model is not built for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure washers. The rule to remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never touch the pushers or crown while submerged.
