Michel Herbelin Watch: Newport Trophy 1660/ATN14

Michel Herbelin: the Newport Trophy 1660/ATN14, a French automatic diver with a neo-vintage style

The Michel Herbelin Newport Trophy 1660/ATN14 combines the world of the diving watch with a more refined presentation than that of a traditional diver. Launched in 2019, it features a 42 mm stainless steel round case, a black dial, and a black bezel that give it a strong sporty identity. With its brown strap, the Herbelin Newport Trophy nevertheless maintains an aesthetic sober enough to be worn daily.

The case of the Herbelin Newport Trophy is made of stainless steel and measures 42 mm in diameter. Its screw-down crown, screw-down case back, and unidirectional rotating bezel contribute to its diver construction. The bezel of the Newport Trophy features a black ceramic insert, a material particularly well-suited for this use due to its scratch resistance.

The black dial is enlivened by gold-colored indices and hands that contrast with the dark background. Both the indices and the hour and minute hands feature a luminescent treatment to maintain legibility when light levels drop. A date window is positioned at 3 o'clock under a magnifier integrated into the sapphire crystal. The Herbelin Newport Trophy thus combines the functional codes of a diving watch with an elegant black, gold, and brown palette.

At the heart of the Herbelin Newport Trophy is a Swiss Sellita SW200-1 self-winding mechanical movement. This caliber delivers approximately 38 hours of power reserve. The hacking seconds function of the SW200-1 also allows for precise setting of the Newport Trophy.

The Herbelin Newport Trophy is water-resistant to 300 meters, or 30 bar. This rating allows it to be used as a true diving watch. Its anti-reflective sapphire crystal, unidirectional bezel, and screw-down crown reinforce its aquatic vocation.

This pre-owned Herbelin Newport Trophy is in very good condition. It is sold with box, papers, and the additional steel bracelet. We guarantee it for 1 year from the date of purchase.

About the brand Michel Herbelin

The story of Michel Herbelin began in 1947 in Charquemont, in the Jura mountains, when Michel Herbelin created his own watchmaking workshop at the age of 26. The company remains based in Charquemont, where its watches are designed, assembled, adjusted, and tested today. Swiss movements are sourced nearby, in the La Chaux-de-Fonds region. Since 2022, the brand has used the simpler name Herbelin and the signature "Contemporary Watchmaker since 1947."

The Newport world occupies a special place in the history of Michel Herbelin. The collection was created in 1988 by Jean-Claude and Pierre-Michel Herbelin in homage to their father and his passion for yachting. Having become one of the brand's marine signatures, it has given birth to various sporty interpretations. Launched in 2019, the Michel Herbelin Newport Trophy 1660/ATN14 fits into this universe with a ceramic diving bezel, 300-meter water resistance, and a Sellita automatic movement.
