Watch Av86: 1956 Marine Quartz Navy & Off White

The AV86 1956 Marine Quartz Steel Navy & Off White: robustness and nautical elegance

The AV86 1956 Marine Navy & Off White is inspired by 1950s naval watches, featuring a clean, functional design. Its off-white dial, navy blue bezel, 41mm steel case, and Cordura strap give this AV86 1956 Marine a style that is both utilitarian and refined. Versatile, it embodies the fusion of watchmaking tradition and contemporary use.

The choice of the TMI VH31 quartz caliber is a smart one: the sweep second function makes this AV86 1956 Marine feel more alive. As the second hand is smoother than on a standard quartz, you enjoy the accuracy and autonomy benefits of quartz while retaining the lively feel of mechanical watches.
