Michel Herbelin Newport Originals 12255T35, Blue Leather with Yellow Gold

Michel Herbelin Newport Originals 12255T35 – The Guilloché Legacy of a Victorious Ocean

Beneath the sparkling waves of the Atlantic Ocean, where French sailors achieved unforgettable triumphs in 1989, lies the original essence of the Newport Originals 12255T35. Inspired by the portholes of transatlantic liners, this unique timepiece from Herbelin transcends the seas of time like a conquering breeze. Its 38.5-mm round case, crafted from 316L stainless steel with a yellow gold PVD coating and featuring alternating mirror-polished and subtly satin-finished surfaces, evokes the sleek silhouette of an exceptional yacht: assertive, luminous, ready to mark life’s fleeting moments, with a lug width of 20 mm for a fluid and generous fit on the male wrist.

At the heart of this transatlantic timepiece, a deep blue guilloché dial displays a hypnotic texture, reminiscent of the reflections on the horizon at sunset, marked by a ship’s wheel at 12 o’clock that symbolizes the collection’s iconic central motifs. The rhodium-plated hour markers and hands trace their path with poetic precision, while the date window at 3 o’clock watches over the passing days like a captain. Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, Caliber 715 (11½ lignes), it offers unwavering reliability and a serene ticking that measures both dream regattas and urban hours, paying homage to the fierce independence of the House of Herbelin, rooted in Charquemont since 1947.

A blue leather embrace, weathered by the original sea spray

The genuine blue leather strap, hand-stitched with artisanal precision, wraps around the wrist like the shrouds of a traditional sailboat—supple, textured, and weighing just 52 g for a light and sophisticated look. This piece for men (or for the sailor at heart who transcends gender norms) combines everyday comfort with marine-grade durability, featuring a traditional pin buckle for a secure and comfortable fit. Water-resistant to 100 m, it withstands salt spray, coastal downpours, and spontaneous dips into the water, staying true to the yachting spirit of the Newport Originals collection. The domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal adds a touch of artisanal authenticity. Crafted in Charquemont, the Franche-Comté cradle of French watchmaking, it bears the mark of a passionate, 100% French, and independent family, where every blue guilloché pattern and every yellow gold PVD finish whispers a story of triumph and legacy.
