A refined unboxing experience
Upon receipt of the package, the attention paid to details is felt. The setting in which the watch rests immediately inspires confidence and sets the tone as for the premium positioning of the brand. A nice surprise that improves the user experience and provides real pleasure during the discovery of the timepiece.
An elegant and distinctive design
One of the first striking aspects of the Belvans Heritage Gold is its deep black dial, made of Musou Black, a painting reputed to absorb the light almost to. The rendering is spectacular: an intense black that highlights golden needles and indexes, ensuring excellent readability.
What is the Musou Black?
The Musou Black is one of the darkest paintings in the world, capable of absorbing up to 99.4 % of visible light. Initially designed for scientific and artistic applications, it is often used to minimize reflections and create a feeling of extreme depth. On the dial of the Belvans inheritance, this effect gives an impression of almost hypnotic vacuum, even more highlighting the metallic details which seem to float above the black background. This technology, rarely used in watchmaking, gives this watch a single cachet and a striking visual identity.
The titanium housing, both robust and light, gives the watch undeniable comfort on the wrist. Its octagonal design, although discreet, brings a distinctive touch that differentiates it from more classic models on the market. The Eiffel Tower -shaped second needle is a subtle signature that underlines the brand’s French anchoring.
A reliable movement and a good power reserve
The Belvans Heritage Gold has a Miyota 8315 caliber, a Japanese automatic movement renowned for its reliability and its 60 -hour comfortable walking reserve. Although Miyota is not a Swiss movement, it is a robust and proven caliber, perfectly suited to a watch in this price segment.
The decorated rotor visible through the transparent background is a nice surprise, demonstrating the attention paid to the details and the care given to the finishes.
Appreciable versatility
One of the assets highlighted by the first users of the Belvans Heritage Gold is its versatility. Whether with a more relaxed costume or outfit, it easily adapts to different styles. Its sober design but actually worked makes an ideal watch for daily use or for more dressed occasions.

My opinion
After several days with the Belvans Heritage Gold on the wrist, several elements stand out. First of all, its design attracts the eye without being too ostentatious. The effect of the Musou Black dial is striking: it creates a hypnotic depth which perfectly highlights the golden needles and indexes. In addition, readability is excellent in all circumstances.
The titanium housing is a real plus, offering appreciable comfort thanks to its lightness. The octagonal shape gives it a touch of originality that pleasantly changes classic round watches. Another asset: its versatility. Whether with a dressed or more relaxed outfit, it adapts to all situations.
In terms of performance, the 60 -hour power reserve allows comfortable autonomy. I also appreciated the fluidity of the movement and the pretty rotor visible through the transparent background. On the other hand, the leather bracelet was a little rigid at the start, but it quickly softened after a few days of use.
Finally, one of the most pleasant aspects remains the surprise effect when you discover the watch in its setting. The packaging is neat and contributes to a good experience of aboxing. The value for money is undeniably excellent. It is a watch that we notice, but which remains elegant and subtle.
A remarkable value for money
At € 699, the Belvans Heritage Gold offers services worthy of much more expensive models. Its titanium case, its Musou Black dial and its life guarantee make it an interesting proposal for lovers of beautiful mechanics seeking an alternative to more established brands.
Verdict: a timepiece that is distinguished
Belvans Heritage Gold stands out as a success in the world of accessible watchmaking. Its distinctive design, its reliable movement, its neat finishes and its excellent value for money make it a watch to consider for amateurs wishing to go out of the beaten track without compromise on quality. With this model, Belvans proves that French watchmaking still has a bright future ahead of it.
