Description of the Watch
The Hermès H08, reference W402991WW00, is a contemporary and athletic timepiece built for performance and expression. Featuring a 42 mm case crafted from braided and metallized fiberglass composite, enhanced with aluminum and slate powder, this model pairs high-tech construction with bold design. Its concrete-colored dial, vibrant green rubber strap, and Hermès H1837 Manufacture movement combine to deliver both aesthetic impact and mechanical precision.
Overview
Designed for dynamic lifestyles and refined tastes, the H08 with green rubber strap blends unconventional materials with a bold urban spirit. Made in Switzerland, it delivers the reliability of fine horology with the daring of modern aesthetics.
Design and Craftsmanship
The case is composed of braided and metallized fiberglass, layered with aluminum and slate powder for a mineral-rich surface that feels both industrial and refined. Its sunburst satin-finished black ceramic bezel features mirror-polished chamfers that catch the light with elegance. The dial, in varnished and grained concrete grey, adds texture and is contrasted by rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and hands coated in Super-LumiNova® for excellent readability. A black-tinted sapphire caseback and anti-reflective crystal complete the sophisticated design.
