Madrigal Chrono Gent B74813322 Watch

The Watch

Balmain is the brand for the elegantly minded - those who want to stand out with effortless style. Rooted in Parisian fashion and Swiss watchmaking tradition, the brand has made its mark around the world with contemporary, refined timepieces that are always ahead of the curve. From the Madrigal Chrono collection, this outstanding B74813322 watch is made for the sporty, style-conscious man who demands distinction. It brings a modern, urban edge to every outfit with the ultimate in refined finishing. Its round case is crafted in stainless steel with a polished finish that radiates a bright, sophisticated appeal. Weighing 159 g, it measures 42 mm in diameter and 10.35 mm thick - ideal proportions for all-day comfort. A sapphire crystal protects the dial from impacts and scratches, while an anti-reflective coating ensures crystal-clear legibility from any angle. A ridged crown at 3 o'clock handles manual adjustment of the hands and date window, flanked by two push buttons to operate the sub-dials. On the back, the case back provides 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

Reinforcing the watch's contemporary design with a touch of assured subtlety, the round dial delivers an incredible experience on the wrist. With brushed lines and a sunray finish, it is dressed in a delicate silver tone. A date window with a white background sits between 4 and 5 o'clock, while three sub-dials handle the chronograph functions - tracking 1/10th of a second, 30 minutes, and small seconds. At center, two silver-tone dauphine hands sweep fluidly to indicate hours and minutes, accompanied by a slim seconds hand. Marked "Swiss Made", the dial features three Roman numeral indices and nine baton indices for easy hour reading. A minute track rings the edge, marked with black lines and black triangles every five minutes. The brand signature appears below 12 o'clock.

The Movement

The case houses a Swiss-made quartz movement with 4 jewels and a stop-seconds function. Crafted by the renowned ETA, it is specifically the G10.212 AB caliber - widely recognized for its outstanding quality, impeccable performance, and reliable precision in driving all central display functions.

The Bracelet

In perfect harmony with the watch's all-silver look, the bracelet is crafted in stainless steel. Featuring an H-link design and a polished finish for a striking effect when worn, this modern and comfortable bracelet lends a bold, sporty masculine edge that pairs effortlessly with any outfit - from smart to street. It wraps the wrist with ease and stays secure all day long thanks to its deployant clasp with push buttons.

Water Resistance

This model offers 5 ATM water resistance, equivalent to 50 m. It's designed to shine as much in style as it is built to handle the elements. While it can handle a shower, the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and diving are not recommended - exposing this watch to those conditions risks damage and costly repairs.
