What to know
Depancel’s Série-R 01 Ivory turns motorsport instrumentation into an accessible mechanical calendar watch. The tonneau-shaped steel case measures 43mm by 36mm, 12.9mm thick and 50mm lug to lug. Beneath the sapphire crystal, the ivory dial organizes the day, date, month and 24-hour indication into a dashboard-like layout, with black and orange accents preserving the brand’s automotive character.
A Miyota 9120 automatic movement sits behind the sapphire display back and offers around 40 hours of power reserve. The watch is rated to 50 metres and can be ordered on perforated brown leather or a steel bracelet. Depancel lists the model at €850 and describes it as designed and assembled in France. It is a useful example of a small French brand delivering an unusually complete calendar complication below four figures.
