Newport Watch 12288B15

The Watch

Since its founding, Herbelin has built its reputation on prestige-quality watches crafted 100% in France. Among its many models, the Newport watch remains the brand's best-seller. This 12288B15 model features a case in 316L steel with a anthracite gray PVD coating and a 40.5mm diameter. At three o'clock, a crown sits flush with the case. The bezel, in the same dark gray, is engraved with the name of the brand's iconic model. In a nod to the brand's nautical DNA, 5 screws - reminiscent of those found on sailboat winches - complete the look. On the caseback, a screw-down case back ensures water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

Designed for men, this watch features a round dial with a deep navy blue sunray background. The dial is dressed with several details in anthracite gray - matching the case - including luminescent hour markers applied along the dial edge. For optimal precision, a white-graduated minute track runs along the perimeter. A discreet date window sits at 3 o'clock, while three luminescent hands meet at the center. The finishing touch: the French watchmaker's signature appears beneath the 12 o'clock index.

The Movement

Herbelin powers this watch with a Quartz movement from Swiss manufacture. Of undeniable quality, it uses a Swiss ETA F06.111 caliber that drives the watch with precision.

The Bracelet

The deep-sea blue of the case pairs beautifully with the gray stainless steel bracelet. Robust and refined, the links feature a 21mm lug width and will gently conform to the curves of your wrist. A butterfly deployment clasp keeps it securely fastened.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance rating of 10 atmospheres (100 meters), this watch is built to handle water with ease. Splash through puddles or dive into the pool - this timepiece handles it all without complaint. Shower, bath, and lap swimming? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want to be clear: while water-resistant, this model is not designed for diving (professional or recreational) and should not be exposed to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers dry during immersion.
