Newport Maréographe 35th Anniversary Watch - 24688A15

The Watch

Herbelin has been redefining French elegance in watchmaking for over 75 years, crafting modern, timeless, high-performance timepieces. By blending traditional expertise with cutting-edge technology, the brand has upheld its family heritage while keeping pace with the latest trends and innovations - earning a prestigious reputation worldwide. One of its most iconic lines is Newport, a dazzling collection launched in 1988 that stands out for its consistently sporty, chic, and refined aesthetic. Today, Herbelin unveils new special editions - including limited releases - to celebrate the 35th anniversary of this legendary line. Striking the perfect balance between design, elegance, and technical mastery, this stunning Mareographe 35th Anniversary 24688A15 timepiece is the sophisticated, timeless touch that will elevate your style with effortless distinction. A pleasure to wear every day, it combines reliability and character in equal measure. It sports a round case in 316L stainless steel with a polished finish, shaped to sit beautifully on a men's wrist. At 43 mm in diameter and 10.65 mm thick, the proportions are spot-on for all-day comfort. A bezel held by six visible screws frames a sapphire crystal that shields the dial from the bumps and scratches of daily life while ensuring perfect readability. A crown at 3 o'clock handles manual adjustment of the hours, minutes, and date, while a pusher at 2 o'clock lets you set the tide indicator hand. On the case back, a snap-back ensures water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

Nestled within the case, this round dial is the true soul of this special edition. It draws the eye instantly with its sunray finish and blue hue, delivering a smooth and reliable analog display. Two grey baton hands sweep across the dial, pointing to the hours and minutes - even in the dark, thanks to their luminescent coating. They track a minute track and twelve luminescent indices around the perimeter, signed "Made in France". A small seconds counter at 3 o'clock rounds out the timekeeping display. A grey hand with a red tip points to the tide indicator, showing the rising or falling tide against the various markings on the dial. A date window between 4 and 5 o'clock keeps you on track with the calendar. Finally, the brand signs its name beneath 12 o'clock and displays the collection name at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

"Beating at the heart of this timepiece is a quartz movement Swiss-made by Ronda - specifically the caliber 4310. Renowned for its quality and performance, it drives the hands and date window with reliable, precise timekeeping every day."

The Strap

A bovine leather strap wraps around both sides of the case, lending a subtle and refined touch to the watch. Dressed in blue and elevated by double ecru-thread white topstitching, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit and hugs the wrist with a delicate, comfortable fit for all-day wear. Just as at home with a casual look as with a dressed-up style, it features a deployment clasp for a secure yet easy fit.

Water Resistance

With water resistance up to 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece can hold its own at a black-tie gala and in the water alike. Wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even during intense sessions!). That said, our watch experts want to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or use with high-pressure washers. Remember - showers, baths, and swimming only, and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged!
