This Hermès Cape Cod Chaine d’Ancre features a 37 mm “square within a rectangle” 316L steel case with anti-glare sapphire crystal and water resistance to 3 bar. Its dial is rendered in a rich blue lacquer, adorned with matt rhodium-plated “Chaîne d’Ancre” hour markers. At its heart is a Swiss quartz movement (18.6 mm, 6 jewels) powering the hours and minutes. The watch is fitted with a Malta-blue calfskin strap in a single wraparound (long size), which is interchangeable via Hermès’ quick-change system.

Complete Calendar The Complete Calendar of Blancpain watches elegantly displays the date, day of the week, and month. Adding a touch of poetic charm, the moon phase indicator on the dial artfully mirrors the waxing and waning of the moon. This intricate feature not only enhances the watch’s aesthetic appeal but also pays homage to the historical connection between horology and the celestial movements.
Moon Phases Blancpain’s moon phase complication beautifully captures the essence of lunar cycles, intertwining the realms of watchmaking and astronomy. The moon’s journey across the dial is a tribute to the age-old tradition of using the moon as a natural timekeeper, reflecting the precision and craftsmanship that define Blancpain’s legacy.
Specificities A hallmark of Blancpain’s attention to detail is the unidirectional satin-brushed black ceramic bezel. This bezel features a sophisticated blue ceramic insert and Liquidmetal hour-markers, combining durability with striking design. The use of Liquidmetal ensures sharp and clear hour markers that seamlessly blend with the ceramic elements, offering a distinctive and refined look.
The Aquanaut Luce collection for ladies welcomes a new, practical and easy-to-use complication: the patented Annual Calendar: a complete day/date/month calendar requiring only one manual correction per year, at the end of February. The manufacture is thus enriching its offer of complicated ladies’ watches with a non-gemset model.
The iconic design of the rose gold case and bezel with a rounded octagonal shape is enhanced by the contrast between polished and satin-brushed finishes. The contemporary “sporty chic” style is reinforced by the blue-gray dial and composite strap with Aquanaut pattern.
The year of the Water Tiger is embodied in an expressive version of the Perpetual Moon. Arnold & Son has fashioned a golden tiger, roaring and on the alert. In the background, a waterfall symbolises the element that tempers this feline’s ferocious energy.
The dramatic and enduring design of the OMEGA Constellation is characterised by its famous half-moons, “claws” on the case and mono-rang bracelet.
This 29 mm 18K Sedna™ gold model features a diamond-paved bezel, sun-brushed blue dial with diamond hour markers and a date window at the 6 o’clock position. The bracelet, hands, OMEGA logo, Constellation star and diamond holders are also in 18K Sedna™ gold.
At the heart of this timepiece is the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8701, visible through the domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
