AV86 WATCH: 1956 MARINE QUARTZ BLACK & GILT

The AV86 1956 Marine Quartz: robustness and marine elegance

The AV86 1956 Marine Noire Gilt draws inspiration from 1950s marine watches, featuring a clean and functional design. Its black dial, black bezel, 41mm steel case, and NATO strap give this AV86 1956 Marine a style that is both utilitarian and retro. Versatile, it embodies the fusion of watchmaking tradition and contemporary use.

The choice of the TMI VH31 quartz caliber is judicious: the sweep seconds function makes this AV86 1956 Marine more dynamic. With a seconds hand that moves more smoothly than a classic quartz movement, you can enjoy the precision and power reserve of quartz while retaining the lively character of mechanical watches.
