Hermès adds a grained light dial model and a gray dial with bleu Saint-Cyr numerals to its 39mm cushion-shaped H08, both powered by the H1837 automatic movement.
Hermès is adding two titanium references to the H08, the sleek, geometric watch that has become its leading sports entry. First shown at Watches Wonders in 2021, the line holds to 39mm proportions and a cushion-shaped case that riffs on the numbers zero and eight, with a custom typeface that gives the dial its graphic punch.
One version, priced at $7,900, uses a grained light dial with luminescent Arabic numerals inside a titanium case and bezel. A bright orange seconds hand cuts across the dial. Straps include rubber in black, orange, or bleu abysse, plus textile webbing in blue or black.
The second model, $8,400, brings color with bleu Saint-Cyr numerals over a textured gray dial. It is framed by a black ceramic bezel that alternates brushed and polished surfaces and comes on dark gray or bleu Saint-Cyr rubber straps.
Both watches run on the Hermès Manufacture H1837 automatic movement. The caliber measures 3.7mm thick, beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and has a 50-hour power reserve. Finishing includes satin-brushed bridges and a rotor patterned with Hs. The movement is made by Vaucher in Fleurier, a manufacture in which Hermès owns a quarter stake.
The pair is water-resistant to 100 meters, fitted with anti-glare sapphire crystals, and secured by a titanium folding clasp.
The H08 arrived with five versions at launch, from an ultra-light graphene composite to DLC-coated titanium with orange or blue straps, plus satin-brushed titanium models on rubber or bracelet. It later broadened with the H08 Colors editions, the Blue Edition, and, in 2023, the first complication in the family, the Monopusher Chronograph. Through every turn, the design codes have stayed consistent and on-brand for the Paris house.
