Newport 35th Anniversary 1325CRN04 Watch

The Watch

A French family-owned and independent watchmaker founded in 1947, Herbelin has been crafting timepieces with exceptional attention to detail in its Charquemont workshops for over three generations. Celebrating the 35th anniversary of the highly acclaimed Newport collection, the brand presents the Newport 35th Anniversary 1325CRN04 as a limited edition of 500 pieces. Designed to elegantly and modernly adorn the wrists of women, it features a round case measuring 38 mm in diameter and 9.05 mm thick. Crafted entirely in ceramic with a striking black, polished finish, it makes a bold statement on the wrist. The display elements are protected by a sapphire crystal offering optimal resistance to shocks and scratches, and can be adjusted via the crown positioned at 3 o'clock. Finally, this timepiece features a transparent caseback and is water resistant to 5 ATM.

The Dial

This dial exudes elegant, captivating style. Sleek and minimalist, it sports a matte black finish that gives it a mysterious allure. While it features no indices, it tells the time with clarity. At its center sit 2 hands in a beautiful silver tone - the longer hand marks the minutes and the shorter one the hours. Near 6 o'clock, the model's country of origin, collection name, and movement type are displayed. The brand name at 12 o'clock serves as its signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss automatic movement - specifically the SW300-1 caliber. Robust and reliable, this mechanism delivers exceptional accuracy and beats at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz). Its 25 jewels minimize friction, and it offers a power reserve of 56 hours.

The Strap

This strap adds a bold, striking look to the watch. Crafted from FKM elastomer, it delivers undeniable durability. Its rich deep black tone pairs effortlessly with any accessory and wraps around the wrist with suppleness and comfort. It is also easily adjustable and features a deployant clasp for convenient wear.

Water Resistance

This watch offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It is built to be as beautiful as it is resilient. That said, its precious finish doesn't compromise its ability to handle everyday wear. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its shine and integrity over time. Swimming and scuba diving are strongly discouraged, as exposure to those conditions may damage the watch and result in costly repairs.
