45 mm dialLeather or metal
The Classique is aptly named, but don't let its sensible label fool you: behind its understated moniker lies a watch with a truly assertive character. Its solid black case is encircled by a textured bezel, crafted in relief like a knurled surface, which catches the light and gives the wrist a real sense of presence. At the center, a 45 mm black dial houses three gold-rimmed sub-dials, baton indices and gold hands, a date window, and a finely gridded background. Four small gold screws accent the case between the pushers and the crown. You then choose your look: a black leather strap with a grained effect for a dressed-up touch, or a black metal strap in fine mesh for a more urban spirit. In either case, the strap measures 24 cm long by 2 cm wide and adjusts to fit most wrists. A watch that is classic in its codes and modern in its attitude, perfect for wearing with both a dark suit or jeans and a leather jacket.

The case and dial are identical on both versions; only the strap changes the look of the watch.
The case
A textured bezel, the signature of La Classique
The most striking feature of La Classique is its bezel. Rather than a smooth surface, it features a regular relief of small points, similar to knurled metal. This textural work, entirely in black, creates a permanent play of shadows around the dial and reinforces the impression of robustness suggested by the case.
The deep black of the case serves as a frame for the gold accents: sub-dial rims, indices, hands, and visible screws. This highly legible black and gold contrast makes every detail of the dial stand out, even in dim light.

A watch that doesn't go unnoticed
La Classique plays the total black card, enlivened by gold. Black gives it a sober and masculine look; gold illuminates the dial with subtle touches, without ever becoming ostentatious.
The three sub-dials, pushers, and visible screws borrow from the vocabulary of sport watches, while the baton indices and gridded background remain highly legible. The result is a versatile piece that feels just as at home in the office as it does on a night out.

Frequently asked questions
What is the size of La Classique?
La Classique has a 45 mm dial, making it a generous watch that is highly visible on the wrist. Its strap is 24 cm long by 2 cm wide and is adjustable, making it suitable for the vast majority of wrists. If you have a thin wrist, the watch remains wearable, but it will have a strong presence, which is part of its style. For a more discreet model, our range also offers 42 and 43 mm dials.
What is the difference between the leather and metal versions?
The case and dial are exactly the same: textured black bezel, gold-rimmed sub-dials, gold hands, and date window. Only the strap changes. The leather version is black with a grained effect and closes with a pin buckle, giving it a dressier, warmer look. The metal version features a fine, supple, and lightweight black mesh that accentuates a contemporary and urban feel. Both straps are 24 cm long and 2 cm wide. You simply choose based on your wardrobe.
What do the sub-dials represent?
The dial of La Classique features three gold-rimmed sub-dials arranged around the center, as well as a date window near 4:30. This layout borrows from chronograph watch codes and adds significant depth to the dial. To understand the exact function of each sub-dial on your piece, please refer to the manual included with the watch. Regardless of their function, the gold hands and indices remain perfectly legible on the gridded black background, both during the day and indoors.
How do I set the time and date?
Adjustment is done using the crown located on the right side of the case, between the two pushers. Generally, you pull it out one notch to set the date and two notches to set the time, then gently push it back to its original position. Always handle it without forcing. The pushers placed above and below the crown control the dial functions. In case of doubt, the manual delivered with the watch details each step, function by function.
Can I wear La Classique in the shower or for sports?
We advise against it. To preserve your watch, do not keep it on in the shower and avoid wearing it during athletic activities. Water, steam, and perspiration can damage it, and repeated impacts are not suitable for it. The leather strap version is the most sensitive to moisture: wet leather can warp and stain. Simply remove your watch before showering or working out, and it will last longer while keeping its shine.
How do I maintain the strap?
For the leather strap, wipe it regularly with a dry, soft cloth and let it breathe after a hot day. Avoid water, perfume, and prolonged exposure to sunlight, which dries out the material. For the metal strap, a microfiber cloth is enough to remove dust lodged in the mesh; you can use a soft, dry brush for the crevices. In both cases, store the watch flat, away from humidity and objects that could scratch the case.
Is La Classique a good gift idea?
Yes, it is a gift that leaves an impression. Its black and gold duo, textured bezel, and large 45 mm dial appeal to those who enjoy watches with character. The choice between a leather strap and a metal strap allows you to adapt to the person's style: whether they prefer classic and dressy, or urban and casual. Consider it for a birthday, Father's Day, graduation, or a promotion. It is wearable at both the office and on a night out, making it a highly useful gift.
