1956 3H Khaki Watch

The Watch

Echo/Neutra presents its 1956 3H model, featuring a round case in stainless steel with a 40 mm diameter and 11.9 mm thickness. The brand has equipped the watch with a sapphire crystal - one of the hardest materials on earth - to keep the dial scratch-free. The watch features a screw-down caseback. The black fixed bezel contrasts beautifully with the beige dial, adding to the watch's vintage character. Water-resistant to 100m, this timepiece is ready for any adventure.

The Dial

The dial's three hands are rendered in beige. The hour and minute hands stand out against the dial with a black outline, while the seconds hand is tipped with a red point. The hour hand is arrow-shaped, while the minute hand features a baton shape. The dial has a black graduated minute track, complementing the baton indices and three Arabic numeral indices at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock, with the 6 o'clock position replaced by the brand's "1956" logo. With its vintage beige tone, the dial pairs beautifully with the black inscriptions on the fixed bezel. The screw-down crown is positioned at 3 o'clock, while the "echo/neutra" text appears at 12 o'clock. The hands are luminescent, ensuring clear visibility in the dark.

The Movement

The Swiss movement powering this watch is an automatic Sellita SW200-1 caliber comprising 26 jewels. Designed by La Chaux-de-Fonds, it beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers a power reserve of 41 hours. A mark of quality in both movement and manufacture, this watch features an analog display for fast, accurate timekeeping.

The Strap

This 1956 3H watch comes with three different straps to choose from via the dropdown menu. Note that all straps share the same lug width of 20 mm.

The first strap is crafted in black vintage leather, elevated by beige stitching running along both sides of the band, giving the whole piece an even more vintage and authentic feel. This strap fastens securely with a grey pin buckle matched to the case.

The second strap is crafted from water buffalo leather. In black, it features a grained finish elevated by tone-on-tone topstitching. Like the previous strap, it fastens with a pin buckle for a secure fit on your wrist.

Finally, the third strap is crafted in Milanese mesh. Made from 316L stainless steel in a grey tone to match the rest of the watch for a cohesive look, this strap fastens with a clip buckle that you can adjust easily and comfortably on your wrist.

No matter which strap you choose, a second strap is included free so you can switch up the watch's style and adapt it to any occasion - day or night. This strap is in perforated black Tropic rubber and gives the watch a stunning retro vibe. Featuring a carbon-pattern finish, it fastens around your wrist with a pin buckle.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres / 100 meters, making it a fully water-resistant timepiece. It's ready to dive in with you at any moment - from swimming pools to rough seas, this watch handles water without hesitation. Showers, baths, and lap swimming are no problem at all. That said, our Ocarat watchmakers advise that this model is not suited for professional or recreational diving and is sensitive to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown closed during submersion.
