The Watch

Since its founding in 1945, Balmain has continuously grown its reputation by crafting original, sophisticated designs. The brand creates refined timepieces tailored for elegant women - each one blending artisanal expertise with innovative design to elevate your look on any occasion. The B81313312 watch from the Tradition Haute Elegance Vintage collection is a perfect fit. Its round case is meticulously crafted from 316L stainless steel for lasting corrosion resistance. Both robust and refined, the case features a gray tone with a polished finish, a diameter of 30 mm, a lug-to-lug length of 36 mm, a thickness of 6.50 mm, and a weight of 70 g. The beautiful dial is protected from shocks and scratches by a flat sapphire crystal. All adjustments are made via the crown at 3 o'clock, fitted with a cabochon for easy handling thanks to its fluted profile. For added charm, the case features a blue bezel proudly bearing the founder's name, finished with a circular mineral crystal. Finally, note that this timepiece features a case back ensuring a water resistance of 3 ATM.

The Dial

This dial features subtle details that will leave you speechless. Showcasing a stunning gray hue, it displays a border defined by a textured finish that gives it a striking look. This is followed by silver Roman numerals that mark the time with ease. The center of the dial features a delicate arabesque finish reminiscent of antique lacework. At its heart sit two dauphine hands in silver tones, elegantly indicating the hours and minutes. Finally, the brand name is proudly displayed just below the 12 o'clock marker.

The Movement

A Swiss-made quartz movement powers the hands of this watch - specifically the ETA 282.002 caliber, renowned for its outstanding reliability. It will drive the watch's mechanism with precision for up to 52 months on a single battery.

The Bracelet

The elegant bracelet on this watch is crafted from 316L stainless steel. It features multiple links in a gray tone enhanced by a polished finish. Measuring 16 mm at the lug width, this bracelet is designed to complement your look effortlessly. With a total length of 191 mm, it fastens securely with a butterfly deployment clasp measuring 16 mm in width.

Water Resistance

This watch offers a water resistance of 3 atmospheres, or 30 m. This model is designed for dressy occasions - not water adventures! It shines at social gatherings and formal events, but aquatic environments are not its strong suit. It will handle rain, splashes, or dishwater without issue - but nothing beyond that. We strongly advise against wearing it in the shower or bath, and even more so while swimming or diving!
