Hermès adds Malta blue ceramic to the H08’s technical case

Hermès has extended the H08 with a Malta-blue interpretation of its material-driven sports watch. The 39mm cushion-shaped case uses braided glass-fibre composite with an aluminium-coated surface, topped by a blue ceramic bezel finished with satin brushing and polished chamfers. A white varnished dial carries luminous ruthenium-treated numerals, while blue accents on the hands, inner ring and rubber strap sharpen the graphic contrast.

The date sits between four and five o’clock, and the watch is rated to 100 metres of water resistance. Inside, the automatic Hermès H1837 calibre runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 50-hour power reserve. Reference 408520WW00 keeps the restrained H08 layout while using colour to emphasise the distinction between its ceramic, composite and rubber components.
