Herbelin Elevates Cap Camarat With Striking Full Ceramic Limited Edition
French independent watchmaker Herbelin expands its popular Cap Camarat collection with a sophisticated new Full Ceramic Automatic, presented in a limited edition of just 300 pieces.
Available in two distinct executions, one showcasing a sleek polished ceramic finish, the other combining brushed and polished surfaces, the latest release brings a contemporary edge to one of the brand’s most recognisable designs.
Sized at a versatile 37mm, the newcomer embraces modern proportions while retaining the architectural character that has defined the Cap Camarat since its introduction. The result is a watch that feels both current and unmistakably Herbelin.
Ceramic Sophistication
The defining feature of this limited edition is its full high-tech ceramic construction. Case, bezel and integrated bracelet are all crafted from the advanced material, prized for its exceptional scratch resistance, lightweight feel and remarkable wearing comfort.
The collection’s signature bezel, distinguished by its decorative screws, remains a focal point, reinforcing the Cap Camarat’s sporty identity. Whether in fully polished ceramic or the more nuanced combination of brushed and polished finishes, the deep black surfaces create a captivating play of light while accentuating the watch’s clean, geometric lines.
A textured dial equipped with applied hour markers and luminescent hands ensures excellent legibility, while a sapphire crystal provides robust protection. Water resistance to 100 metres further underlines the collection’s maritime-inspired credentials.
Swiss Mechanics, French Expertise
Powering the Cap Camarat Full Ceramic is the proven Sellita SW200 automatic movement, a Swiss calibre respected throughout the industry for its reliability and durability.
While Swiss at heart, each watch undergoes extensive preparation and quality control at Herbelin’s workshops in Charquemont, France. Every timepiece is hand assembled, individually regulated to the brand’s exacting standards, and subjected to comprehensive aesthetic and technical inspections.
Water resistance is tested on every watch, while isochronism and rate performance are verified in multiple positions to ensure consistent accuracy and long-term dependability.
Such attention to detail reflects Herbelin’s commitment to genuine watchmaking expertise, where quality is achieved through meticulous processes rather than marketing claims.
Limited to 300 Pieces
Produced in a strictly limited run of 300 examples, the Cap Camarat Full Ceramic Automatic successfully blends contemporary materials, sporting character and understated French elegance.
Distinctive yet versatile, technical yet refined, it is a compelling addition to the Cap Camarat family and a watch designed to retain its appeal for years to come.
