HD10 "Champagney" Watch

The Watch

Humbert-Droz carries a rich French expertise rooted in tradition and passed down through generations. Timeless by nature, its watches masterfully combine functionality and elegance. Today, the brand is proud to introduce this fabulous HD10 "Champagney" timepiece. A tribute to the magnificent manor built at the dawn of the Renaissance, this symbol of wealth and power - standing proud since the 16th century - shelters from prying eyes its sculptures and ochre timber-framed façades within its inner courtyard. This watch will give you a masculine aura and a refined allure that sets you apart with effortless distinction. Its cushion-shaped case is crafted in brushed 316L stainless steel, measuring 44 mm in diameter including the crown and 13.50 mm thick. Its surface, finished with a black PVD treatment, is accented by exposed screws that add character to the whole. A domed sapphire crystal crowns the case, protecting the dial from everyday wear. The screwed, carbon black crown with protection, positioned at 3 o'clock, handles all function adjustments. Finally, the screw-down transparent caseback showcases the inner workings of the movement while ensuring water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

The round dial on this watch charms with its understated, effortless elegance. In ochre, it features an open heart at 6 o'clock that lets you admire the movement beneath. Its indices are represented by raised Arabic numerals and baton markers, framed by a delicate minute track running along the perimeter. The track is punctuated by white dots and Arabic numerals at 10-minute intervals. Two satin-finished grey hands and a slender white arrow-tipped seconds hand complete the picture, indicating hours, minutes, and seconds respectively. Coated in Luminova, they ensure legibility in both bright and low-light environments. The brand signs its name below the 12 o'clock index.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Franco-Swiss automatic movement. It features the G1A0 caliber from La Joux-Perret manufacture - a mechanism celebrated for its exceptional quality and unwavering reliability. It drives the hands for precise display of hours, minutes, and seconds. Its power reserve stands at 68 hours.

The Strap

This superb model comes with a carbon-embossed bovine leather strap that amplifies its modern edge. Its tone-on-tone stitching gives it a sport-chic appeal that pairs with any outfit. It ensures a comfortable wear and delivers a timeless look. Its deployant clasp in stainless steel lets you adjust the fit with ease, and the lug area is accented with the colors of the French flag.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - and it means it. This watch is ready to dive into aquatic adventures right alongside you. From puddles to the pool, this timepiece handles water without breaking a sweat. Showers, baths, and vigorous swim sessions are all fair game. That said, Ocarat's watchmaking experts advise that this water-resistant model is not suited for diving (professional or recreational) and is sensitive to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers untouched while the watch is submerged.
