The Cap Camarat line takes its name from a cape on the Var coast east of Saint-Tropez, and the watch carries that provenance honestly — built for the water rather than to gesture at it. The chronograph functions sit alongside a tachymeter bezel, giving the watch a genuinely purposeful layout rather than the sport-adjacent styling many dials of this size settle for. At 42mm on a silicone strap it sits well on the wrist without the stiffness of a steel bracelet in warm weather, and the horizontally embossed black dial reads clearly in low light once the lume charges. The rose-tone accents against the black case and dial are the one flourish that places this closer to the Riviera its name invokes than to a purely utilitarian chronograph.

Learn more about Michel Herbelin

Michel Herbelin founded his workshop in 1947 at Charquemont, a village in the French Jura a few miles from the Swiss border, in a region that had made watch parts for generations. The company is still run by his descendants and still assembles in Charquemont, which makes it one of the few French watch brands of any age to have stayed independent.

The Newport, introduced in the late 1980s and named after the Rhode Island sailing town, is what most people know it for: a nautical-styled watch with a distinctive articulated bracelet. It has been in the range ever since and accounts for a large share of what the company sells.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.

Water resistance explained

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared

Does it need a battery?

No. It charges from light, and the cell behind that is designed to last a decade or more.

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's.
