 From Road to Waves: Elegance at Full Throttle
Depancel Introduces the Allure D[R]IVER Calendar

Between sea and asphalt, between nostalgia and modernity, Depancel introduces the Allure D[R]IVER Calendar: a timepiece crafted for thrill-seekers, lovers of timeless elegance, and free spirits. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Channeling the adrenaline-fueled glamour of the 70s and 80s, where Cigarette boats and race cars ruled the scene, this new model fuses performance, precision, and flair.

The Inspiration: The Golden Age of Speed, Freedom and Iconic Style

The 70s and 80s were decades of raw power and bold aesthetics — an era when everything was faster, louder, freer, and limits were there to be surpassed. Cigarette boats became icons of excess and elegance, race cars blurred the lines between danger and desire, and the men behind them became legends.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The Allure D[R]IVER Calendar taps directly into that high-octane spirit. It pays homage to that free-spirited ethos with the unmistakable aura of the Cigarette Racing Team’s glory days.

More than a vintage tribute, it’s a declaration of intent — for those who don’t wait for permission. Who push further, faster, stronger. A bold salute to freedom, speed, and style.

Sport-Chic, Engineered for Action

With its integrated 39 mm case, the Allure D[R]IVER Calendar combines clean, muscular lines with a refined edge. Designed for those who crave speed and control, it moves seamlessly between seaside marinas and racetrack paddocks.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Robust but never bulky, it exemplifies functional elegance. The integrated bracelet sits flush with the case, offering discreet yet highly effective comfort. Every detail is crafted to keep pace with enthusiasts who demand both performance and distinction in every setting.

A Dial that Bridges Land and Sea

The textured dial immediately commands attention. Its precise finish catches the light with lively reflections, evoking both the rolling swell of the sea and the sun-bleached grit of asphalt. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Every detail speaks to the meeting point of two worlds: mechanical power on land and freedom on water.

The model comes in two variations: a deep ocean blue, and a bold two-tone red-and-black — a direct nod to the signature livery of Cigarette boats, symbols of performance and style. For an added sporty edge, the watch can also be paired with a robust rubber strap.

Applied indexes and dashboard-inspired hands ensure crisp, intuitive legibility, while luminescent treatment guarantees visibility in all conditions — whether cornering at speed or chasing the horizon at sea. This dial is a promise: a watch built for adventure, wherever it leads.

Built to Brave the Elements

Rugged and reliable, the Allure D[R]IVER Calendar is water-resistant to 100 meters.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Its solid construction, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and functional bezel make it ready for anything: spontaneous swims, high-speed crossings, or a sudden downpour. Uncompromising elegance, built for those who refuse to choose between performance and style.

The Movement: Tried, Tested and Trusted

At the core of the Allure D[R]IVER beats the Miyota 9122, a distinguished Japanese automatic movement celebrated for its robustness and precision. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

A proven powerhouse, it offers smooth operation, everyday reliability, and easy maintenance — a guarantee of long-term performance, true to Depancel’s spirit of creating high-performance watches designed to last.

Depancel Launches the Allure Mono Eye Mint Green
A vibrant, summer-ready watch set at an attractive price point

Following the success of the Allure Valjoux 92 Mint Green last year, Depancel returns with a new, more attainably priced and decidedly summery iteration. With its refreshing design, distinctive dial, and ultra-reliable meca-quartz movement, it adds a touch of lightness to everyday life. This new timepiece retains the brand’s horological and automotive DNA, offering a lighter, yet always precise, spirit.

Fresh, colorful, and accessible: the Allure Mono Eye Mint Green is the watch to set the tone this summer.

Neo-vintage aesthetic, sporty-chic spirit

With its 39mm brushed and polished 316L stainless steel case, the Allure Mono Eye Mint Green sports a trendy neo-vintage silhouette. .

The finely finished dial stands out with its bright, fresh mint green color—a bold contrast against the brushed black metallic surfaces, creating a cool, carefree visual cocktail perfectly suited for summer.

Reliable chronograph precision in a daily-wear package

The Allure Mono Eye Mint Green utilizes Seiko's VK63 meca-quartz movement, combining quartz timekeeping with a mechanical chronograph mechanism. This provides the visual appeal of a mechanical chronograph—including a smoothly sweeping central seconds hand. The movement requires no winding while retaining the tactile push-button feel of a traditional chronograph.

A watch that fuses vintage aesthetics and modern performance – for those passionate about speed, style, and high standards. With this new release, Depancel continues to deliver exceptional value without compromising on substance and looks.

Daily versatility and lasting comfort

Weighing just 68 g, the Allure Mono Eye Mint Green is well-balanced and sits comfortably on the wrist; it comes with a black calfskin leather strap featuring a synthetic lining for increased durability and sweat resistance. Water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50m), it easily handles the everyday.

A timepiece for the independent-minded

More than just a variation, this new Allure embodies the collection's vibrant character and spontaneous energy.

More attainably priced than its mechanical predecessor, it stands out with its bold design, compelling value, and strong personality.

Depancel – ALLURE Valjoux 92 Bleu de France Chronograph Edition

Depancel ALLURE Valjoux 92 Bleu de France Chronograph 39 mm Edition 2025

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

This legendary chronograph movement—the Valjoux 92—was developed in the 1950s by Valjoux (named after the Vallée de Joux region, the historic center of Swiss watchmaking) as a thinner, more easily manufactured alternative that still retained the column-wheel, a hallmark of high-quality chronographs.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Thanks to Depancel’s initiative, 20 of these movements underwent a rigorous restoration: each was completely disassembled, every component cleaned, the bridges redecorated, followed by careful reassembly. Each step was carried out with absolute precision, honoring traditional craftsmanship while embracing modern technologies to achieve optimum chronograph performance. This painstaking approach preserved the very DNA of the movement born in the 1950s while breathing new life into it.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The result? A perfectly restored Valjoux 92 chronograph, now at the heart of the Allure Valjoux 92 Bleu de France – a limited series of just 20 individually numbered watches.

A Tribute to Swiss Mechanical Heritage

The Valjoux 92, renowned in its time for its innovative oscillating pinion system, has now been revived to deliver unmatched precision and reliability. With 17 jewels and a column wheel ensuring smooth chronograph actuation, this movement remains a beacon of mechanical watchmaking excellence.

This model represents Depancel’s commitment to preserving and reimagining legendary movements while showcasing outstanding horological craftsmanship.

Neo-Vintage Elegance by Design

The dial of the Allure Valjoux 92 Bleu de France is a study in subtle refinement, inspired by the liveries of classic French racing cars. The deep blue hue – called French Racing Blue and made famous by automotive legends such as Bugatti – lends the watch a bold and passionate character.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Its meticulously crafted design features a pulsometer and tachymeter scale, both centrally displayed and offering a unique reading method via the chronograph seconds hand. The watch's aesthetic stands out with clean lines, a sunburst dial that plays with light, and a brushed and polished 316L stainless steel case measuring an elegant 39mm.

Every detail demonstrates thoughtful execution, ensuring optimal readability while preserving the watch’s sporty sophistication.
