Michel Herbelin Watch: Newport Trophy 1660/ATN14

Michel Herbelin: the Newport Trophy 1660/ATN14, a French neo-vintage automatic diver's watch

The Michel Herbelin Newport Trophy 1660/ATN14 combines the world of diving watches with a dressier presentation than a traditional diver. Launched in 2019, it features a 42mm round stainless steel 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 a sufficiently understated aesthetic for everyday wear.

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's watch construction. The bezel of the Newport Trophy features a black ceramic insert, a material particularly suited for this use due to its scratch resistance.

The black dial is animated by gold indices and hands that contrast with the dark background. The indices, as well as the hour and minute hands, are treated with luminescent material to maintain legibility when light diminishes. A date window is located at 3 o'clock under a magnifier integrated into the sapphire crystal. The Herbelin Newport Trophy thus combines the functional codes of a dive watch with a more elegant black, gold, and brown palette.

At the heart of the Herbelin Newport Trophy is a Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic mechanical movement. This caliber provides 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 comes with its box, papers, and an additional steel bracelet. We guarantee it for 1 year from the date of purchase.

About the Michel Herbelin brand

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

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