Vintage Hermes Dressage Chronograph

The Hermes Dressage chronograph was launched in 2013, and it was among the first watches from the house of Hermes that sought to establish a serious watchmaking prowess, boasting the brand's first in house chronograph movement, the H1925. This movement itself is based on the first ever in house Hermes movement, the H1837 automatic, launched in 2012. Housed in a highly wearable 40.5mm case, the Dressage Chronograph applies Hermes' distinct design language to a chronograph that is surprisingly more dress than sport, mounted here on a havana alligator strap. For the watch enthusiast whose primary concern is exceptional craftsmanship and beauty in execution, this is a compelling package.
