Michel Herbelin 37654T35 Newport Originals Chronograph Blue Leather Strap Watch - W03132
Ref. 37654T35
Sits in Michel Herbelin’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michel Herbelin watches we list, which start at £135.
Price range £135 to £395 across 22 Michel Herbelin watches in stock.The Newport line has been Michel Herbelin's signature since the 1970s, its case architecture lifted directly from the circular portholes of ocean-going ships. The central-lug construction — the detail that separates the Newport from every conventional round case — remains the defining element here, and the two-tone execution pairs brushed and polished 316L steel with yellow gold PVD along the flanks and lug sections, giving the maritime reference a warmer register than the all-steel versions. The blue varnished dial carries a ship's wheel engraving at twelve, with gold and silver sub-dials arranged for the chronograph and small seconds — a combination that reads as deliberate rather than crowded. At 10.55mm thick, the case lies closer to the wrist than the 40.3mm footprint might suggest, and it clears a dress cuff without fuss. The padded blue calfskin strap, white-stitched and textured, is a considered match for the dial rather than an afterthought, and the push-piece deployant clasp means the fit stays consistent through the day. The Ronda 5040D inside is Swiss-made and built for very long service intervals — not a movement with a story to tell, but a reliable one that will give no cause for concern.

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.
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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
