Description
Inspired by transatlantic yachts of days gone past, the original Newport watch is always distinguished by its porthole-style bezel and central lugs and this one is no exception.
Featuring a 38.5mm yellow gold-PVD stainless steel circular case with brushed silver bezel, it’s time to come on board and enjoy the view that awaits.
Look through the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal echoing a portlight and all eyes are drawn to a shimmering blue sunray dial where sea and sky meet.
Glance at the luminous hulls acting like hour markers for easy reading at a glance whilst a golden ship’s helm steering wheel at 6 o’clock shows the way ahead.
Other elegant details include the magnified date window at 6 o’clock and marine wheel on the fluted crown with screw-down steel case-back.
Completing the nautical theme is a blue leather buckle strap with embossed stitching.
Anchored in the marine, but ready for play anywhere, that’s the Newport for you.

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 is made from 316L graded stainless steel, giving it high corrosion resistance. It’s ideal for timepieces that are worn in all seasons, including a marine environment. Durable yet lightweight, you can focus on enjoying the moment whilst being comfortable. What’s more, it’s also skin friendly and won’t tarnish.
Tough and beautiful sapphire crystal
Offering superior protection against scratches and bumps.
PVD coating for enduring beauty
More durable and eco-friendlier than traditional coating methods, it’s your time to shine.
Long Battery life
The Swiss movement is a 11 1/2 Ronda 715 with a standard battery life of about 60 months.
We look good together.
