Le Jour Fardon Watch LJ-FD-002

The Watch

Le Jour is a watchmaking brand that embodies the perfect wedding of tradition and modernity. Built on Swiss watchmaking expertise, it pushes the craft forward with refined, contemporary designs. Since its founding, it has become a go-to reference for lovers of sophisticated watches through models defined by timeless elegance, exceptional build quality, and outstanding reliability. Each timepiece is crafted with care, prioritizing premium materials, precise movements, and meticulous finishing. Today, the Swiss brand presents the watch LJ-FD-002, from the Fardon collection, the embodiment of harmony between sophistication and performance. Its silver case is crafted in 316L stainless steel, combining robustness and elegance with a polished finish on the edges and a brushed finish on the surface, giving it a look that is both refined and modern. Designed for men's wrists, it takes a cushion shape with a 38 mm diameter and 11 mm thickness over a length of 46 mm. It is topped by a flat sapphire crystal that protects the dial from shocks and features an anti-reflective treatment for clear legibility. At 3 o'clock, it sports a screw-down crown for easy adjustment of the core functions, with an octagonal shape that makes it easy to grip. Finally, this model features an engraved case back secured by screws, ensuring 5 ATM water resistance, with an exhibition opening that lets you watch the movement oscillate.

The Dial

This timepiece features a dial in green malachite that highlights its understated, refined beauty. Eye-catching and distinctive, it displays a minute track along the edge with dot-shaped markers, baton indices, and Arabic numerals at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock to indicate the hours. All are swept over by three silver hands anchored at the center, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The hour and minute hands - short and long respectively - are coated with Super-LumiNova BGW9 treatment for enhanced legibility, even in the dark. This same coating is applied to the hour indices for the same purpose. A slender seconds hand tracks the elapsed seconds, and a date aperture joins them at 3 o'clock with a white background displaying black Arabic numerals. The brand name is printed below 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss automatic movement from Sellita. More precisely, the SW-200 caliber delivers optimal performance and excellent resistance to vibrations. Equipped with 26 jewels that minimize friction, this mechanism beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). It ensures accurate hand and date display, along with a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

The Bracelet

A stunning green strap, in perfect harmony with the dial, elevates the design of this watch. Crafted in genuine alligator leather, it is both sturdy and supple, ensuring optimal comfort in any situation. It features tone-on-tone topstitching and sits beautifully on your wrist. Its lug width is 20 mm, and its deployant clasp makes it easy to put on and take off.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 50 meters, or 5 ATM in standard watchmaking terms, this timepiece can handle splashes without breaking a sweat - but it's not built for prolonged water exposure. You can shower with it occasionally, but to preserve the quality and precision of the movement, every one of our watch specialists strongly advises keeping it away from the H2O molecules found in the bath, pool, or ocean. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact or submersion.
