HD10 "Citadelle" Watch

The Watch

Humbert-Droz is a brand that perfectly embodies the French watchmaking tradition. Generation after generation, it continues to craft timepieces that uphold its time-honored know-how. Its models are celebrated for exceptional performance and outstanding durability. This magnificent HD10 "Citadelle" timepiece is no exception - it brings refinement and sophistication to your wrist. A tribute to the majestic citadel that watches over the sleeping city as its faithful guardian of time, it features a cushion case crafted in black PVD-treated 316L stainless steel measuring 44 mm in diameter and 13.50 mm thick. Designed for refined men, it makes a bold statement with its lug area accented by exposed screws. The dial is shielded from shocks and wear by a domed sapphire crystal. You'll love the screwed crown with protection positioned at 3 o'clock - it adds character and allows easy adjustment of functions. Its knurled texture makes setting a breeze. The transparent screw-down caseback offers a view of the movement inside while ensuring water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

Clean and understated, the dial on this model is instantly captivating. It combines a distinctive design with practical functionality for everyday wear. Its midnight blue base is elevated by a sunray finish that adds brilliance to the whole. An open heart at 6 o'clock adds a touch of originality. The hour markers feature both Arabic numerals and baton indices, tracked by two sword-shaped, satin-finished black hands indicating hours and minutes. Coated in Luminova, they ensure legibility even in low-light conditions. A matching slender seconds hand with an arrow-tipped end completes the display. The markers are accompanied by a minute track dotted with luminescent dots and Arabic numerals. Finally, the brand's name is signed at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This superb model is powered by a Franco-Swiss automatic movement. It features the La Joux-Perret G1A0 caliber, renowned for its exceptional reliability and precision. It drives the hands for an accurate display of hours, minutes, and seconds. Its power reserve stands at 68 hours.

The Strap

The strap, crafted in black carbon-embossed bovine leather, gives this watch a uniquely sharp, clean aesthetic. In perfect harmony with the case, it commands attention with its texture and wins over with its chic, urban design. Its matching stitching and the French flag-inspired accent stitching add to its charm. It hugs your wrist with precision, creating the perfect complement to a modern look. It fastens securely with a deployant clasp in stainless steel.

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.
