A Different Evening: Original 40 Côte d'Azur
A Different Evening: Original 40 Côte d'Azur
The Original 40 is the silhouette Waldor was built on. The proportions were right from the beginning, and we keep returning to it for that reason. This version takes everything that made the original worth remembering and gets dressed. Gold-plated case, guilloché dial, blued hands, crocodile-embossed strap. The same watch. A different evening.
Where It Arrives
The Original 40 is the silhouette Waldor was built on. The proportions were right from the beginning: 40mm across, 7.3mm thin, a watch that sits on the wrist without making demands. This version takes everything that made the original worth returning to and brings it somewhere new. A gold-plated case. A white guilloché dial. The most dressed version of our most important watch.
A Pattern Worth Looking Closer At
The white brass dial carries a guilloché texture at its centre, a fine diamond pattern that shifts with the light. Roman numerals mark the hours with the kind of clarity that never needs to announce itself, and blued steel hands move across the surface with precision. A dial that earns its detail quietly.
The Detail That Changes Everything
Brown crocodile-embossed leather against a gold-plated case produces a warmth that is entirely its own. The combination is unambiguously dressed up, and entirely at ease with being so. The strap suits a jacket sleeve as naturally as a rolled-up one, and settles on the wrist with the quiet confidence of something that has been worn before.
The Kind of Watch That Earns a Second Look
Sapphire crystal over the dial, a Swiss-part Ronda 762 movement within. The details that simply perform without calling attention to themselves. The Original 40 Côte d'Azur in gold is the same watch. Just dressed for a different evening, and better for it.
