Cap Camarat

Introduced in 2018, the Cap Camarat was born from the reinterpretation of a vintage model from the 1970s found in the Herbelin archive, revisited in a more contemporary key while preserving its neo-vintage spirit. The line's distinctive feature is the square 39 x 39 mm case with rounded corners, vertical satin finish alternating with polished surfaces and crown protection, embellished with six decorative screws arranged along the bezel.

The name recalls Cap Camarat, the headland with its famous lighthouse located near Saint-Tropez, on the coast of the peninsula in the south of France: a geographic and maritime reference different from the more Anglo-Saxon one of the Newport, but consistent with the brand's taste for sea-related names. Conceived as an "urban" and "sport-chic" proposal, the line targets a male audience looking for a distinctive design, able to sit halfway between informal elegance and the robust character of the chamfered-edge case.

Originally launched in a quartz version with a Ronda caliber, the Cap Camarat was later enriched with an automatic execution with a Sellita SW200-1 caliber and, in later years, a chronograph variant with a slightly larger diameter (40.5 mm). Like the rest of Herbelin's production, the cases are designed and hand-assembled at the brand's facilities in the French Jura, in Charquemont.
