Heritage Chronograph Pulse Watch - 324.472

The Watch

Lebois & Co was founded in 1934 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Raymond Dodane. Specializing in the manufacture of high-quality timepieces, the watchmaking brand pairs precision with elegant design to offer luxury watches that elevate every moment. It quickly earned a strong reputation for its exceptional craftsmanship and reliable movements, cementing its place as a benchmark in the watchmaking world alongside other great Swiss houses. Today, thanks to the dedication of Tom van Wijlick and his wife, the brand is back on top with new models inspired by its rich heritage and a modern touch. Combining traditional expertise with the latest technological advances, it now unveils the classic style and vintage aesthetic of the Heritage Chronograph Watch - 324.472. Designed for men, it pays tribute to that golden age of mechanical precision - a collection that blends enthusiast sensibilities into a new classic. The model features a round case crafted entirely from brushed and polished 316L stainless steel, lending it a polished, refined look. It measures 39 mm in diameter and 47.40 mm in length with a thickness of 10.50 mm. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial from potential impacts. Robust and clear, it measures 3.40 mm thick and features an anti-reflective coating for effortless readability. It crowns the central elements, operated by the two pushers and the grey knurled crown on the right side. The screwed and engraved caseback ensures 5 ATM water resistance, while its sapphire crystal exhibition window offers a beautiful view of the movement in action.

The Dial

The chic, elegant design of this dial is impossible to ignore. It features a lightly sandblasted finish that beautifully enhances its attractive brushed salmon base. Round in shape, it displays a pulsometer along its edge for measuring heart rate. Inside it, a minute track is complemented by baton indexes and Arabic numerals marking the hours - time markers swept over by the three hands fixed at the center. These comprise a slim seconds hand for the chronograph, along with a large and a short hand for minutes and hours. In a striking blue hue, they are complemented by two additional sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock indicating 30 minutes and small seconds respectively. Near 6 o'clock, the Swiss Made label appears, while higher up, the anti-magnetic resistance is noted. The brand's name is signed just below 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic movement - specifically the exclusive caliber LC-450, manufactured by La Joux Perret. Reliable and robust, this mechanism resists magnetic fields and beats at a frequency of 28,800 alt/h, requiring 24 jewels. It drives the hands and chronograph with precision and delivers a power reserve of 60 hours.

The Strap

This carefully crafted strap will elevate your every look. Made from sueded bovine leather, it features a suede finish that gives it a soft, brushed texture. Supple and comfortable, it drapes elegantly around your wrist in any setting. It pairs effortlessly with any accessory of your choice, adding a refined touch thanks to its blue tone. It measures 20 mm in width and is fitted with a grey pin buckle of 18 mm for easy adjustment.

Water Resistance

This model offers 5 atmospheres of water resistance, equivalent to 50 m. Built to impress, it turns heads in any setting - yet its refined aesthetic in no way compromises its ability to handle the elements. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it gently by the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. As for swimming and scuba diving, we strongly advise against submerging this watch to avoid damage and unexpected repair costs.
