Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Newport began as Herbelin's nautical line, and the Slim sub-collection takes that heritage and strips it back to almost nothing. At 6.95mm, this is genuinely flat for a 41.5mm case — it disappears under a dress shirt cuff in a way few watches at this diameter manage, while the ship's wheel engraved into the crown keeps the maritime thread present without announcing it. The sunray-brushed blue dial shifts noticeably between direct light and shade, and the applied dagger hands read crisply across it. A moonphase complication at this case depth requires careful movement selection; the Ronda 706.1 is Swiss-made and built to Normtech tolerances, meaning the display will stay honest and the whole thing will ask very little of its owner in return. The bracelet is polished 316L throughout and integrates cleanly into the case — the double push-button deployant makes daily removal straightforward, and the link sizing is adjusted through individual friction pins rather than tools, which is a practical detail on a watch likely to move between wrists of different sizes.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What size strap does it take?
22mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
