Hermès introduces new Bleu de Malte and Blanc Chantilly H08 watches

Hermès has introduced two new colorways for its H08 sports watch: Bleu de Malte and Blanc Chantilly. These versions feature a braided glass fiber composite case with a lighter, brighter finish compared to previous models that utilized a darker aluminum and slate coating.

The Bleu de Malte version includes a blue ceramic bezel and a rhodium-plated, crystal sandblasted textured dial. The Blanc Chantilly version offers a more minimalist aesthetic with a white lacquered dial and a white rubber strap. Both models maintain the signature Hermès orange details and a cushion-shaped 39mm x 39mm case.

Both watches are powered by the Hermès Manufacture H1837 automatic movement, a caliber developed exclusively for the brand by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. The movement features a 50-hour power reserve and a frequency of 4 Hz. The watches are water-resistant to 10 bar (100 meters) and are priced at approximately $8,600.
