From Louis Erard, presenting the Excellence (ref. 34238AA35.BVA133), a contemporary classic shaped by careful watchmaking know-how. The exterior is thoughtfully executed: crafted in stainless steel and measuring 39 mm in diameter, defined by a round silhouette. The caseback is open, and the crystal is sapphire, delivering water resistance to 5000 meters. At a glance, the dial balances texture and clarity: a blue tone with gloss finish, executed in lapis lazuli, framed by mixed hour markers, and fir hands. At its heart beats a proven engine: the SW261-1 b caliber. First released in 2022. With considered ergonomics, it feels composed during extended wear. Brushed and polished elements play with light to emphasize crisp geometry. For buyers researching specifications and real-world impressions, this reference stands out for coherent design, dependable mechanics, and lasting relevance within modern horology.
