HD1 «Bronze» Watch

The Watch

Driven by a desire to carry on his family's legacy, Julien Humbert-Droz launched his eponymous brand in 2016 with the iconic HD1 model - an instant success. Balancing quality, performance, and elegance, each of his watches is built to be timeless, reliable, and modern, ready for any occasion. The HD1 collection continues its legacy with sophisticated, on-trend new models, including this stunning «Bronze» timepiece offered as a limited edition of 200 pieces. Combining clean design with timeless elegance, it's the perfect style accent for your wrist, elevating every outfit. Its cushion case, crafted in brushed 316L stainless steel, measures 43 mm in diameter and 13.50 mm thick - ideal proportions for men's wrists. The bezel with a black PVD treatment frames a mineral crystal and is secured by four visible screws for an extra-refined finish. Protected at 3 o'clock, the black screw-down crown on the case middle lets you easily set and manually wind the watch's hands. The screwed, transparent numbered caseback ensures 10 ATM water resistance and offers a captivating view of the movement in action.

The Dial

Strikingly beautiful, a charming round dial sits elegantly at the center of the case, adding a modern touch to the watch. It features a sunray finish and an open heart at 12 o'clock set against a ruby red background for a refined, elegant look on the wrist. At its heart, two hands in satin-finished steel with a pointed baton shape, coated with luminova, display the hours and minutes clearly day and night. A slender arrow-tipped seconds hand in satin-finished steel sweeps for the seconds. A minute railroad track runs along the outer edge, encircled by Arabic numeral graduations every 10 minutes on the grey bezel. Hours are marked by Arabic numeral indices at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock and by baton indices elsewhere. Finally, the brand places its name and movement type at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Housed within the case, a Swiss-made automatic movement powers this watch with reliability and precision. More specifically, it is the ETA 2824 caliber that drives the hands smoothly for an accurate display of hours, minutes, and seconds. With a 38-hour power reserve, it features 25 jewels and beats at 28,800 vibrations/hour.

The Bracelet

This watch comes paired with a magnificent bovine leather strap that will impress the moment you put it on. Featuring tone-on-tone white stitching, it sports a black color contrasted by a carbon-pattern finish. Elegant and modern, it pairs with any look and wraps your wrist with delicate comfort you can wear all day long. With a 24 mm lug width, it is fitted with a steel deployment clasp for effortless fastening.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. This is a genuinely water-resistant timepiece! Its spirited design means it's ready to dive headfirst into aquatic adventures with you. From puddles to the pool, this watch handles splashes and swims without complaint - showers, baths, and recreational swimming are all fair game. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or otherwise) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning devices. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while submerged.
