The signature orb in gunmetal

The Armour collection places the house's emblematic orb in relief at the centre of the dial, a motif instantly recognisable. In this gunmetal version, the brushed grey dial brings a dark, matte tone that contrasts with the usual gold finishes of the line. The result is a watch with a more discreet, androgynous character, where the orb reveals itself subtly under light rather than shining ostentatiously. The clean two-hand display leaves all the space to this motif, with no date or counter, for a very current and easy-to-wear graphic effect. This gunmetal tone appeals to those who want the orb signature without the marked brilliance of gold, and who seek a sober piece capable of fitting into any wardrobe. It is a contemporary and minimalist reading of the Armour, both distinctive and restrained.

A 28 mm understated and versatile format

At 28 mm, the gunmetal Armour is one of the most compact formats in the range, ideal for slender wrists under 15 cm where it acts as a discreet jewel. Its brushed grey tone matches absolutely everything, from black to pastel, and pairs as well with silver jewellery as with gold, making it a particularly easy choice to coordinate. More understated than the gold version, it suits those who want the orb identity without the too-marked brilliance of gold, in a logic of elegant discretion. A versatile piece that moves from office to evening effortlessly, and suits both professional use and casual outings. Its chromatic neutrality makes it an everyday watch you wear without thinking, whilst enjoying the house's strong signature.

Gunmetal appeals to a clientele often tired of overly conventional dials: neither the classicism of white nor the severity of black, but an intermediate and nuanced tone that captures light differently depending on wrist angle. This quality makes it a watch that is both discreet and interesting to observe closely. It pairs perfectly with contemporary wardrobes, where neutral tones and matte materials dominate. For those who appreciate androgynous aesthetics and minimalism, the gunmetal Armour ticks all the boxes: recognisable signature, jewellery format, versatile tone and understated finish that transcends seasons without ever appearing dated.

Care for the brushed dial and stainless steel bracelet

The brushed gunmetal finish requires appropriate care: wipe the stainless steel bracelet with a dry microfibre cloth each week to remove fingerprints and oils. The matte grey dial, protected by mineral glass, requires no direct maintenance. Avoid abrasive products on the case, which could mark the brushed finish, more revealing of micro-scratches than polished surfaces. Always respect the direction of the brushing when wiping the case, to avoid creating visible cross-marks. Occasional cleaning of the links in warm soapy water, followed by complete drying, preserves the sobriety and uniformity of the whole over time. Have the water resistance seal checked each time the battery is changed to guarantee protection of the movement.
