Tradition Beleganza Lady M B83513318 Watch

The Watch

Balmain is a French haute couture house that has been crafting Swiss-made timepieces since 1987 - each one embodying French luxury and timeless elegance, paired with undeniable functionality. Among its finest creations, we present the Tradition Beleganza Lady M B83513318 watch, a study in refined style. It features a classic round case crafted in polished 316L stainless steel with a silver finish, lending it a brilliantly elegant shine. Durable and built to last, the case measures 32 mm in diameter, 6.30 mm thick, and 38 mm lug-to-lug - a distinguished silhouette on the wrist. The case is topped by a sapphire crystal offering outstanding scratch resistance. On the right side, a beautifully grooved crown allows easy adjustment of the hands and date for precise daily timekeeping. The case back provides a water resistance of 3 ATM.

The Dial

The silver dial on this watch is a masterclass in elegance and sophistication. Every detail has been carefully crafted, from the arabesque pattern at the center - evoking the lace motifs found in the brand's fashion creations - to the double-circle layout punctuated by baton indexes and Roman numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock. These markers are applied to the outer sunray-brushed ring that frames the decorative motif, delivering a result that is both beautiful and chic. The "Dauphin" hands are two-toned and faceted, with one side in polished nickel and the other in dark grey lacquer. They are paired with a slender seconds hand that tracks time with precision. The ensemble is completed by a date window at 6 o'clock featuring a beveled frame and a silver background. The brand's name at 12 o'clock serves as a final authenticating signature.

The Movement

Powering this model is a Swiss quartz movement - specifically the ETA F05.115 caliber, celebrated for its precision and reliability. It features an analog display with a date function, 3 jewels, and Heavy Drive technology for consistent performance. The movement includes a stop-seconds mechanism and an end-of-life battery indicator (E.O.L). It runs on a 371 battery with a life of up to 7 years.

The Strap

The bracelet supporting this watch is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a silver finish that echoes the overall dial aesthetic. It features 5 rows of polished links, measuring 16 mm at the lug width, tapering to 14 mm at the butterfly deployment clasp. The clasp includes push-buttons for easy, secure, and comfortable wear. Suited to all occasions, the bracelet has a strap length of 168 mm and fits wrists ranging from 135 to 192 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 3 atmospheres - equivalent to 30 meters - this watch is not designed for aquatic use. You can keep it on when washing your hands or doing light household tasks involving water, but the Ocarat team strongly recommends leaving it on your nightstand before a shower or bath, and in the hotel safe before taking a dip in the pool or the turquoise sea at your vacation destination.
