NEWPORT Heritage Bicompax
A new Limited Edition inspired by success
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of its NEWPORT collection, HERBELIN unveiled a limited edition automatic chronograph in 2023. Following the success of this watchmaking creation, our brand has introduced a new model: the NEWPORT Heritage Bicompax. This automatic men's watch, embodying elegance and performance, is also produced in a precious limited series of 300 pieces.
A sporty and refined design
Drawing nautical inspiration, the NEWPORT watch collection now embraces the watchmaking codes of 1960s race car drivers with the Newport Héritage Bicompax timepiece. This Chronograph undeniably embodies the robustness and sporty style of vintage models, particularly through its case dimensions and finishes, as well as its "glassbox" sapphire crystal.
It features a 42 mm stainless steel case combining polished and brushed surfaces. The scratch-resistant black ceramic bezel, engraved with a contrasting white tachymetric scale, evokes the counters used by race car drivers to calculate speed.
Its Panda dial, with its sunburst silver background and black sub-dials, offers excellent legibility. Functional, they have been designed for quick and precise time reading. The large baton hands, luminescent indices, and precise minute track underscore its sport-chic allure.
Whether for city wear or everyday journeys, its black leather strap with a "croc-effect" finish and deployant clasp ensure ergonomic comfort, while adding a sophisticated touch.
Craftsmanship and Performance
Made in France, the Newport Héritage Bicompax watch is equipped with a Swiss automatic movement visible through a transparent case back, and ensures a 62-hour power reserve. Demonstrating all of HERBELIN's watchmaking savoir-faire, this men's watch was designed, assembled, and controlled in France.
Available in two versions, this Limited Edition, blending tradition and modernity, is perfect for discerning collectors of automatic men's watches. It is a timepiece faithful to the aesthetic of the golden age of motorsport, uniting elegance and performance.
