Introducing the Méraud Antigua
The Low-Down
Like earlier Méraud designs, the Antigua is not a remake of any specific reference, but rather a combination of retro classics. By combining relevant elements from various eras, the Antigua excels in many ways, including design, construction, and most importantly price.
IMHO
Vintage-inspired watches are so common that, broadly speaking, they have lost their novelty, but the Antigua has several details that make it noteworthy.
From a design perspective, the highlight is the sapphire bezel that is glossy and deep, reminiscent of bakelite. Unlike most of its peers, which have aluminium bezels, the sapphire bezel is a practical tool with the numerals painted in luminescent material. As the bezel is restricted to rotate in only one direction, it doubles the watch as a dive watch with a water resistance of 100 metres.
