Newport Quartz Watch 12288A15GD

The Watch

Since 1947, Montblanc has shared its passion for watchmaking and unmatched expertise through countless iconic models. This automatic watch 12288A15GD joins the legendary Newport collection. Its sporty yet vintage design is sure to win over men with a taste for style. The case is built to last, crafted from 316L stainless steel. Its 40.5 mm diameter sits naturally on the wrist. The bezel is a nod to a ship's porthole, complete with five screws. True to watchmaking tradition, a crown at three o'clock lets you set the hands exactly as you like. A sapphire crystal protects the dial from the scratches and shocks of everyday life. Finally, admire the movement in action through the transparent caseback - secured with screws for a water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

This timepiece features a stunning round blue dial whose depth is amplified by a sunray and smoked finish. At its heart, two broad hands and a slender seconds hand sweep through the hours day after day. The hour and minute hands are treated with a luminescent coating for easy reading in any light. The third hand counts the passing seconds. A subtle minute track rings the dial for pinpoint precision, accompanied by straight indexes inspired by the famous bar of a ship's helm. A date window at three o'clock on a white background offers an instant read at a glance. Finally, the brand notes the movement type with "automatic" at six o'clock, and signs its creation just below the twelve o'clock index.

The Movement

"At the heart of this jewelry timepiece beats a Swiss-made quartz movement. Specifically, a ETA F06.111 caliber delivering exceptional precision in the analog display of hours, minutes, and seconds. The date is also shown thanks to this high-quality mechanism."

The Strap

To dress this watch with elegance, Herbelin selected a brown leather strap. Its 21 mm lug width ensures all-day comfort. Contrast stitching along the edges of the strap lends a vintage feel to this timepiece. A classic pin buckle closure ensures a perfect fit for any wrist.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance up to 10 ATM - that's 100 meters. We're talking a genuinely water-resistant watch! Whether you're splashing through puddles or diving into the pool, this timepiece handles it with ease. Showering, bathing, and lap swimming? No problem. That said, our watchmaking experts at Ocarat want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for professional or recreational diving and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
