LIMITED EDITION OF 300 INTRODUCING THE LIMITED EDITION
L'Heure d'Or Chronograph

Introducing a limited edition timepiece inspired by the stunning light of the French Riviera during early spring - L'Heure d'Or. With only 300 individually numbered pieces made, this watch is a true testament to our passion for crafting timepieces that capture the essence of the Côte d’Azur’s beauty. The warm champagne-hued dial, Cognac calfskin strap, dark anodized Breguet numerals and Alpha hands come together to create a stunning, vintage-inspired two-register chronograph. Every detail has been carefully considered and meticulously crafted, from the premium leather sourced from one of the most prestigious tanneries in
France to the hybrid caliber from Seiko.

HYBRID CALIBER

Inspired by the early days of racing, the new L'Heure d'Or Chronograph is powered by an impressive engine of its own. In fact, the renowned VK64 Meca Quartz from Seiko is a so-called “hybrid movement” combining quartz technology with mechanical movements to form an engine that balances the advantages and disadvantages of each. We’d have it no other way.

“The central chronograph hands tick five times per second, just like movements of old. We’d have it no other way.”

Whilst the timekeeping mechanism is essentially quartz, you’ll notice the “meca” part of the equation come into play every time you reset the chronograph. With components taken directly from Seiko's own in-house mechanical chronographs, the chronograph hands are disengaged from the quartz motor and are snapped back to zero, meaning you don't get that sweep back to zero that is representative for standard quartz chronos. Rather, you get a timepiece that combines the accuracy of quartz with the distinct look and feel of a mechanical chronograph. The central chronograph hands tick five times per second, just like movements of old.
