Apose N°3 Douz Noir Poli: French automatic watchmaking in 40mm

The Douz Noir Poli turns Apose’s rounded-square silhouette into an almost monochrome object. Its 40mm 316L steel case, radially brushed bezel and crown receive black DLC, while a polished black PVD dial carries stylised quarter-hour numerals. Luminous material in the one-piece chapter ring and hands provides contrast without interrupting the dark palette.

A France Ébauches automatic movement powers hours, minutes and seconds, with stop seconds, a 44-hour reserve and a 4Hz operating frequency. Apose quotes regulation to −4/+4 seconds per day. Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment and a 10-bar water-resistance rating complete the specification. The official catalogue price is €2,800 on a textured Longchamp leather strap.
