LOW POINT CORRECTED

One of the main weak points of quality watches at less than 500 euros remains their bracelets. Often neglected, they represent for the watch brands a source of expensive expenses, which can easily be reduced by offering a leather of poor quality …

In this version, the Claude Bernard 80102 3 BUIN is an exception. This timepiece is indeed mounted on a blue leather strap of exemplary quality. Stitched on its sides with a tone-on-tone thread, it meets an important requirement of watchmaking enthusiasts, looking for a bracelet to wear, elegant and can hold over time.

Finally, this model 80102 3 BUIN has a sapphire crystal, as well as a transparent bottom, allowing the wearer to observe the mechanism in any condition.

MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC REASSEMBLY
PRESENCE OF A STOP SECOND

This automatic watch would be the image of his House without a highly qualitative movement, showing a strong attention to the heart of the product. Claude Bernard naturally implemented the known and recognized movement, Caliber Sellita SW 200-1, always with the aim of proposing a product quality-price ratio exemplary and rare in the market.

This movement enjoys very popular functions in watchmaking, manual winding and stop-seconds. The manual winding performed by turning the crown recharges the movement of the watch with 40 hours of power reserve.

The stop-second meanwhile, allows an accurate measurement of the ratio gain-loss of the watch causing the total stop of the second when setting the time of the watch.

The innovative design, accompanied by a movement of quality and a very affordable price for Swiss Made, certainly places this mechanical watch in the top basket of watches at the best value for money …
