H08 Chronograph

The Hermès H08 has already established its own sport-inflected, urban-chic style which it carries over to the chronograph version released in 2023. This new model plays on contrasting shades and textures. The cushion-shaped case is cut from a block of a layered composite of carbon fibre and graphene powder that is both light and strong. A wide titanium bezel frames the black dial with displays for the date in a cushion-shaped window, the chronograph 30-minute counter and running seconds. Orange accents tie the different elements together and make the various indications easy to read. The movement is the automatic in-house H1837 with a Dubois Dépraz chronograph module. A single pusher starts, stops and resets the chronograph function. The rubber strap, also in orange, has a woven pattern along its centre, a nod to Hermès’ silk scarves.
