Named after the Gamaret wine grape, this sophisticated dial comes in a deep reddish-brown color with a hand-applied dégradé and a vertical brush finish. Gamaret was created by André Jacquinet in 1970 at the Station Fédérale de Recherches en Production Végétale de Changins, Switzerland. It was developed specifically to thrive in an alpine climate and makes a strong, color-rich red wine. Giving it even more depth, the dial comes with the Essence signature horizontal lines, each CNC machined into the dial base individually to achieve perfectly crisp angles. The date at 6 o'clock is color matched and the brush finish on the applied indices and hands are rounded off with hand-finished mirror polished bevels. These polished chamfers can be found throughout the watch; on the stainless steel case, the bezel, the bracelet and the deployment buckle with the patented fine adjustment system.

Straps and Clasps

For a perfect fit and more comfort on the wrist at all times, we're using the new Formex Deployant clasp with a gradual fine-adjustment system for the leather and rubber straps. The stainless steel bracelet, which reflects the same flawless finishing of the Essence's case, has a hidden Micro-Extension. All straps and the steel bracelet can be changed without the use of any tools and in just a few seconds.
