Hermès has expanded its coveted H08 watch collection with two new titanium editions that bring a lighter, sportier, and more contemporary feel to one of the brand’s most successful timepieces. Since its debut in 2021, the H08 has stood out as Hermès’ answer to the modern luxury sports watch, and now, with a titanium twist, it’s even more versatile.
A Unisex Watch with a Modern Edge
The new Hermès H08 Titanium comes in a more compact 39mm case, a size designed to fit comfortably on a wide range of wrists. This reinforces the collection’s unisex appeal, offering the same bold identity of the original H08 in a more adaptable format.
Hermès offers two distinct titanium versions:
- Variant 1: A sleek dial with an orange-tipped seconds hand, paired with multiple strap options—rubber in orange, Bleu Abysse, or black; a monochrome titanium bracelet; or textured fabric in blue or black.
- Variant 2: A grained grey dial with bleu Saint-Cyr numerals, set against a satin-brushed and polished black ceramic bezel. Strap choices include dark grey or bleu Saint-Cyr rubber.
Why Titanium?
Titanium is increasingly becoming the material of choice in watchmaking. It’s lightweight, durable, and resistant, offering comfort without compromising elegance. Hermès enhances this material with satin finishes, polishing, and a sunburst effect, ensuring the H08 Titanium doesn’t just feel good on the wrist—it looks striking too.
The Heart: Hermès Calibre H1837
Inside beats the H1837 automatic movement, crafted in Switzerland by Hermès. It delivers:
- A frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour
- A 50-hour power reserve
- Central hours, minutes, seconds, and a discreet date at 4:30
Through the sapphire crystal caseback, wearers can admire the fine finishing that reflects Hermès’ attention to detail.
Designed for Comfort
The cushion-shaped case follows the natural curve of the wrist, while the wide range of strap options—from rubber to fabric to titanium—ensures adaptability for different lifestyles and occasions. Whether dressed down with rubber or dressed up with steel, the watch maintains an understated yet refined personality.
