Description
Inspired by the portholes of transatlantic yachts from days gone past, this handsome 40.5mm timepiece would look stunning on any man’s wrist.
Distinguished by its bold central lugs, the Newport watch features a brushed steel porthole style bezel with screw details inspired by yacht winches.
Reminiscent of a deep blue ocean, the stunning sunray dial also features luminous applied index hour markers resembling tiny hulls, accentuating its marine vibe.
Helping to keep you on track is a grey minute scale and easy to read date window at 3 o’clock.
Its rugged good looks are protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal which is also anti-reflective, ensuring maximum visibility.

Powered by a reliable Swiss Ronda movement, it also has a water resistance to 10ATM, making it ideal for everyday wear on land or sea.
Completing the Newport watch is a distinctive stainless steel link bracelet strap with deployment clasp for a stylish outcome to a unique design.
Never be late for adventures again.
Herbelin Watches
Since 1947, Michel Herbelin have been making unique watches. The original founder, Michel Herbelin wanted to create fine timepieces that lasted and to restore French watch making to its former glory. To this day, each watch is designed, assembled, regulated and checked in their Franche-Comté workshops.
Jean-Claude Herbelin, Michel’s eldest son was inspired by the family passion for sea and boats and this was the inspiration for the iconic Newport collection, which was launched in 1988. Its testament to the enduring popularity of its distinctive styling that the Newport is still in demand today.
P.S. Here’s a reminder of some key features:
Marine grade stainless steel
The casing and strap are made from 316L graded stainless steel, giving it high corrosion resistance. It is ideal for timepieces that are worn in all seasons, including a marine environment. It’s also durable yet lightweight, so you can focus on enjoying the moment whilst being comfortable. What’s more, it’s also skin friendly and won’t tarnish.
Sapphire Crystal
Beautiful and tough, reliably protecting the watch face from accidental knocks and potential scratches.
Long Battery life
The Swiss movement is a 11 1/2 Ronda 715 with a standard battery life of about 60 months.
You’re now good to go!
