Michel Herbelin Newport Chrono Quartz 37658AP15GD, Stainless Steel, Brown Leather

Michel Herbelin Newport Chrono 37658AP15GD – The Timed Azure of a French Yacht

Amid the invigorating Atlantic spray, where tricolor sails wrote chapters of triumph in 1989, lies the essence of the Newport Chrono 37658AP15GD. Created to immortalize the victory at the Newport Yacht Club Cup, this Michel Herbelin watch transcends the seas of time like a conquering breeze. Its 40.5 mm round case in 316L stainless steel, with finishes alternating between mirror-polished and satin-brushed, evokes the sleek silhouette of an exceptional yacht: assertive, airy, ready to chronometer life’s fleeting moments, with a lug-to-lug width of 21 mm for a fluid and generous fit on a man’s wrist.

At the heart of this maritime timepiece, a sunburst blue dial radiates depth, like the reflections of an ocean under the setting sun, punctuated by four sub-dials with rhodium-plated hands that trace their paths with masterful precision—a 1/10th-second counter, a 30-minute counter, a small seconds sub-dial, and a chronograph seconds hand—for absolute control over the rhythm. The date at 3 o’clock, a subtle guardian, keeps watch over the days as they fly by. Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, Caliber 5040.D (12 ½''' lines), it offers unwavering reliability and a serene ticking that measures both dream regattas and city hours, paying homage to the fierce independence of the Herbelin house, rooted in Charquemont since 1947.

An embrace of brown leather, weathered by the sea spray

The brown cowhide leather strap, hand-stitched with artisanal precision, wraps around the wrist like the sheets of an ancient sailboat—supple, weathered by the winds, weighing just 74 g for a light and dynamic feel. This piece for men (or for the daring soul who embraces intensity) combines everyday comfort with ocean-worthy durability, featuring a traditional pin buckle for a secure and comfortable fit. Water-resistant to 100 m, it withstands salty downpours, dives into the sea, or impromptu showers, staying true to the yachting spirit of the Newport collection. Crafted in Charquemont, the Franche-Comté cradle of French watchmaking, it bears the mark of a passionate, 100% French, and independent family, where every stitch and every polish whispers a story of triumph and heritage.
