a 'taste' of vintage

The Rochelaise is a subtle blend of elements from our favourite watches of the 60s and 70s – those to which we wanted to pay tribute.

Its turtle-style case is based on the rounded shapes of 70s watches and the rotating internal bezel is a throwback to the design of the ‘super compressors’ of the 60s.
Staying true to the retro spirit, the Rochelaise is perfectly matched with our new, fine-mesh bracelet in steel.
An original watch which completes the Le Forban collection and offers an all-new alternative to our early models.

Refined and comfortable

Aiming for an ideal marriage of looks and comfort, we have been particularly attentive to the curves and the finesse of the Rochelaise’s case.
Due to its balanced proportions and its low profile, the Rochelaise is a unisex watch which will look good on any wrist size, in fact just like all the watches in the Le Forban range.

Attention to detail

We have chosen a very specific manufacturing technique for the internal bezel. The indices are pressed into the metal, the resulting depth thus offering a unique aesthetic – a technique borrowed from the 60s.
The surfaces of the indices are polished to complete the aesthetic effect and maximise legibility.
And as a finishing touch, the Rochelaise is fitted with a red second-hand, a reminder of its dive-watch DNA.

An extremely elegant dial

The sunburst dial of the Rochelaise is fitted with vintage-inspired, chromed indices. The lack of a date window and the simplicity of the indices give a sober and perfectly balanced appearance.

Sand Grey

A warm grey with gilt accents.

Sea Green

A blue-green with deep accents, echoing the colour of the waters of La Rochelle.

Asymmetric crowns and embossed caseback

With its screw-down crown, the Rochelaise is designed to be water resistant to 150 metres. Its second crown, which turns the internal bezel, has been deliberately placed in an asymmetric position, giving an original but vintage-inspired charm.
To emphasise the caseback, we use the same embossing technique on all our watches. For the Rochelaise, we have chosen the motif of a marine rope in tribute to the nearby Royal Ropemaking Factory of Rochefort.

Ultra-reliable automatic Miyota movement

In production since 2018, the Miyota 9039 is a high-grade, Japanese automatic movement. Due to the thinness of this movement, the Rochelaise case has a particularly low profile – less than 12mm.

Power reserve: 42 hours

HIGHLY LEGIBLE, EVEN AT NIGHT

Whether in daylight or at night, your watch remains legible due to the use of Super-Luminova® C3, the brightest lume on the market.

Designed to remain legible in the deepest abyss, the luminous material will also prove useful to night owls navigating the shadows…
