In 2023, HERBELIN celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Newport collection with a limited-edition automatic chronograph.
The Newport Chronograph Heritage is faithful to the aesthetic of the original 1988 model, this timepiece retains the signature codes of the collection: a cylindrical case, central lugs, a porthole-style bezel in engraved ceramic with a tachymeter scale, screws inspired by sailboat winches, and a marine wheel motif on the crown.
The azurage-finished black subdials create depth, while beveled luminescent hour markers and an ultra-precise minute track on the flange reinforce its technical character. The 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and the small seconds counter at 9 o’clock, combined with the tachymeter scale, allow for speed measurements ranging from 60 to 400 km/h. A central chronograph seconds hand and a date window at 6 o’clock complete this sophisticated design.
Designed, assembled, and regulated in France at HERBELIN’s Jura Mountain workshops, the Newport Chronograph Heritage is powered by a Swiss-made self-winding mechanical movement, precisely adjusted by the brand’s master watchmakers. Reliable and precise, it boasts a 62-hour power reserve, visible through a transparent case back adorned with a HERBELIN-engraved oscillating weight.
Its classic leather strap enhances its timeless appeal, making it the perfect companion for every moment of the day. This model is a limited edition of 300 numbered pieces.
