Overview
Sporty yet refined, the H08 with blue webbing strap offers a unique take on the luxury tool watch. Designed for active lifestyles and urban sophistication, it highlights Hermès’ commitment to functional artistry and innovative materials.
Design and Craftsmanship
The case is constructed from satin-finished titanium, chosen for its strength and lightness, and matched with a sunray-finished titanium bezel accented by mirror-polished chamfers. The black nickel-treated dial features a circular satin-finished minute disc treated in black gold and a grained center for added depth. Rhodium-plated applied Arabic numerals and hands—both coated in Super-LumiNova®—enhance legibility. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a transparent caseback elevate both clarity and style.
