Orange Alert: The Hermès H08 Chronograph
This new charming chronograph completes the basic complication package for the Maison's H08 collection.

The carbon fibre composite, graphene powder coated case of the H08 Chronograph sits slightly larger, at 41mm by 41mm, compared to its time-only counterpart which measures 39mm by 39mm. The bezel is forged in titanium with sunburst satin-brushed upper surfaces, while the chamfer is mirror polished. The timepiece does retain earlier established signature dial elements, while still making room for the chronograph complication. The dial starts off with a seconds scale along its perimeter, followed by stylised Super-LumiNova coated Arabic numerals and then a textured ring that frames the dial?s centre.
