The French watchmaker Herbelin continues to dazzle watch lovers with the launch of the Cap Camarat Square Chronographa watch that combines heritage, contemporary aesthetics and technical performance. Taking its name from the cape located on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, this new model marks an evolution in the Cap Camarat collection, by integrating a chronograph complication in a square-shaped case with neo-vintage accents.
There Cap Camarat Square Chronograph is distinguished by its stainless steel case of 40.50mm x 40.50mma square shape with rounded corners that evokes the spirit of watches from the 70s. The alternation between brushed and polished finishes, combined with six decorative screws which adorn the bezel, gives this model a robust and elegant appearance. The beveled pushers, integrated into the continuity of the crown protection, add a touch of sophistication to this watchmaking architecture.
Under a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the horizontally struck blue dial offers a clear and legible organization of functions. THE three counters positioned in C – the 30-minute counter at 9 o'clock, the 1/10th of a second counter at 12 o'clock and the small seconds counter at 6 o'clock – create visual balance while reinforcing the neo-vintage aesthetic of the model.
The beveled indexes and faceted rectangular hands, partially covered with luminescent material, guarantee optimal readability, even in low light conditions. A date window, subtly placed at 6 o'clock, completes the practical functions of this watch.
