Luxury fashion house Hermès has unveiled a striking new addition to its H08 collection — the H08 Chronograph “Jaune de Naples.” This new release marks the first time the elegant yet sporty line has included a chronograph, reinforcing Hermès’ balance of technical precision and refined aesthetics.
The H08 Chronograph Jaune de Naples stands out with its bold 44 mm case, crafted from carbon fiber composite coated in graphene powder — a material known for being lightweight yet exceptionally strong. This is paired with a sunburst satin-brushed ceramic bezel featuring polished chamfers, giving the watch a refined, durable finish. Designed for everyday wear and adventure alike, it’s equipped with an anti-glare sapphire crystal, decorated caseback, and 10-bar (100 meters) of water resistance.
Its name, “Jaune de Naples,” comes from the watch’s vivid yellow seconds and chronograph hands, which pop against the black-gold-treated dial. The rhodium-plated Arabic numerals coated with Super-LumiNova ensure easy readability, even in low light.
Inside, the watch houses the Hermès Manufacture H1837 automatic movement, paired with a monopusher chronograph module. This intricate mechanism consists of 212 components and 34 jewels, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph) with a 46-hour power reserve. Through the titanium crown and single push-button, users can control the chronograph’s start, stop, and reset functions with ease.
The movement is finished with classic Hermès detailing — including circular graining, snailed bridges, and a rotor decorated with the signature “H” pattern. The watch offers functions for hours, minutes, small seconds at 3 o’clock, and a date window at 4:30.
Priced at $12,800 USD, the H08 Chronograph Jaune de Naples is available exclusively through Hermès boutiques worldwide, combining craftsmanship, innovation, and style in a single statement piece.
