Hervé Classique Tobacco E-01T

This watch combines compact proportions with refined mechanical watchmaking, offering a balanced blend of elegance, craftsmanship, and everyday functionality. The case is crafted from 316L stainless steel and finished with a combination of polished and satin surfaces, creating subtle contrast while maintaining a timeless aesthetic. Measuring 35 mm by 41 mm with a slim thickness of just 8.2 mm, the watch sits comfortably on the wrist, making it particularly well suited for those who appreciate restrained dimensions. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar (100 meters), providing confidence for daily wear, while the non-screw-down crown preserves a clean and understated profile.

The dial stands out through its textured surface, designed to replicate the relief of crossed linen fibers. This intricate finish adds depth and character without compromising legibility. Polished hemispherical indexes, applied by hand, catch the light delicately and reinforce the watch’s refined, artisanal feel.

Encircling the dial is a distinctive double-step bezel, featuring a linearly brushed flat surface contrasted by polished chamfers. This architectural detail adds visual structure and enhances the watch’s overall presence despite its compact size.

Protecting the dial is a beveled sapphire crystal with a thickness of 1.3 mm. An anti-reflective coating applied to the inner surface ensures clear readability in a variety of lighting conditions while maintaining the sapphire’s scratch resistance.

Powering the watch is the Soprod M100, a Swiss-made self-winding mechanical movement equipped with 25 jewels. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), it delivers precise and stable timekeeping along with a 42-hour power reserve. The movement is decorated with Côtes de Genève, reflecting traditional Swiss finishing standards.

With an 18 mm lug width, the watch offers versatility in strap choices, completing a timepiece that balances mechanical integrity, refined design, and everyday practicality.
