Arceau 30 mm Set-In Steel Watch With Alligator Strap

Description of the Watch

The Hermès Arceau 30 mm Set-In Steel Watch with Alligator Strap, reference W403953WW00, is a luminous and refined interpretation of Hermès’ classic Arceau silhouette. Featuring a stainless steel case set with brilliant diamonds, a sparkling white lacquered dial, and a soft matte Chantilly alligator strap, this timepiece elegantly balances timeless charm with contemporary brilliance.

Overview

A hallmark of Hermès' watchmaking, the Arceau design—created by Henri d'Origny in 1978—is instantly recognizable with its flowing lines and asymmetrical lugs. This diamond-set edition enhances the traditional codes with shimmering elegance, making it a perfect companion for those who appreciate understated luxury.

Design and Craftsmanship

The 30 mm stainless steel case is expertly set with 80 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.312 ct), framing the classic round shape with radiance. The white lacquered dial sparkles subtly with glitter and is enriched by a rhodium-plated, diamond-set thread that elegantly outlines the inner dial, featuring an additional 60 diamonds (0.054 ct). Protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the dial offers clarity while enhancing the overall brilliance. A matte Chantilly alligator strap provides a soft, elegant contrast, fastened securely with a polished steel pin buckle.
