Newport Royale Watch 12298/B11

The Watch
French watchmaker Herbelin introduces a new model from its iconic Newport collection. Fully inspired by the nautical world - and in particular the portholes of sailing boats - this collection speaks to ocean adventurers and sea enthusiasts alike. Herbelin invites you aboard the Newport Royale for a journey through time. Housed in a 316L stainless steel case measuring 39 mm in diameter, this watch sits perfectly on the wrist of the discerning man. It is topped by a polished fixed stainless steel bezel stamped with the collection name at six o'clock. A sapphire crystal protects the dial and its time indicators from scratches. These are set via the crown at three o'clock, which drives the three hands and the date window through the Swiss quartz movement that brings them to life. The movement is sheltered behind the snap-back case back, ensuring water resistance to 5 ATM.

The Dial
Fully clad in stainless steel and finished in silver, this dial makes reading the time a pleasure. A double-circle design plays with contrasting finishes for a distinctly contemporary look. The inner circle features vertical guilloché engraving, while the outer ring showcases a brushed, sunray finish that elevates the timepiece's visual appeal. The inner circle displays the French manufacture's name beneath the twelve o'clock index, while the outer ring is adorned with indexes and a Roman numeral marking the hours. Three hands emanating from the center of the dial track the passage of time with precision. A round date window at six o'clock is framed by a silver bezel ring.

The Movement
Powering this timepiece with precision is a Swiss quartz movement housed at the heart of the case. It drives all three hands on the dial - hours, minutes, and seconds - as well as the date window at six o'clock.

The Bracelet
Beautifully alternating polished and brushed finishes, this watch features a stainless steel link bracelet. Elegant, luminous, and comfortable, this classic bracelet adds a modern touch with a tone-on-tone look that harmonizes seamlessly with the watch. It fastens with a butterfly deployment clasp.

Water Resistance
This model offers water resistance up to 5 atmospheres (50 m). Designed to be as beautiful as it is resilient, it holds its own in any setting without sacrificing durability. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it aside on the sink ledge to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and scuba diving are strongly discouraged - doing so risks damaging the watch and incurring costly repairs.
