This latest diver pays homage to the golden era of 1970s tool watches, while embodying the refined craftsmanship and design language that have defined the brand since its founding in 1947.

Rooted in the DNA of the original Newport, first launched in 1988, the Newport Héritage Diver reinterprets archival design cues through a modern lens. At once bold and elegant, it evokes the free-spirited, adventurous ethos of vintage dive watches, infused with a distinctly French flair. The result is a rare blend of retro soul and contemporary performance, an essential piece for collectors with an appreciation for both form and function.

    “Herbelin is a brand enriched by a genuine horological heritage dating back to the mid-20th century. This legacy allows us to draw inspiration from a past that speaks directly to today’s passion for vintage style.”
    Mathieu Herbelin, Co-Creative Director and grandson of the brand’s founder

Housed in a 42mm cushion-shaped case crafted from 316L stainless steel, the Newport Héritage Diver channels the utilitarian silhouettes of the ’70s. A unidirectional ceramic bezel, complete with 120 firm clicks, ensures tactile precision and glove-friendly operation, faithful to its professional-grade intent. Water-resistant to 300 meters, it’s not just a vintage-inspired showpiece, but a capable instrument designed for true aquatic use.

At the heart of the Newport Héritage Diver beats a Swiss-made Sellita SW220-1 automatic caliber, selected for its robustness and regulated in-house by Herbelin’s master watchmakers in the Jura mountains of Franche-Comté. The movement boasts a frequency of 28,800 vph, a 41-hour power reserve, and a refined adjustment of 0 to +15 seconds per day, marking a balance between reliability and performance that seasoned collectors value.

Visible through the exhibition sapphire caseback is a custom-engraved Herbelin rotor, offering a view into the mechanical artistry behind the timepiece. The screw-down crown and caseback ensure full diving capability, speaking to the brand’s uncompromising standards of durability and execution.

The Newport Héritage Diver is delivered on a 1970s-style woven technical fabric strap, selected for both its historical relevance and comfort. Collectors will appreciate the quick-change system that allows effortless transition to an FKM rubber strap for sport use or a Milanese mesh bracelet for a more urbane, heritage-inspired look.
