In 1978, the first Hermes Arceau watch came to the world. It is designed Henri d’Originy, with its inspiration from the saddler, a stirrup detail. The first Hermes Arceau watch featured asymmetrically-shaped lugs, elegantly-shaped numerals and some equestrian references. Its design and its connotation combined have made the Hermes Arceau an iconic watch of the brand.

The front of the case is shielded by an anti-glare sapphire crystal. At three o’clock of the watch case sits a winding crown which is accompanied by two push pieces at two o’clock and four o’clock respectively. It is a very distinctive design.

The dial of the Hermes Arceau Chrono Colors comes in two color versions. One is white and the other is navy blue. Both versions ensure the functions of hours, minutes, seconds, date and chronograph functions. The hours and minutes functions are captured by two rhodiumed hands while the small seconds are indicated by an orange small seconds hand. The date function is indicated through a small aperture between four o’clock and five o’clock. The 60-second counter is located at three o’clock and the 30-minute display is at countered nine o’clock. At 6 o’clock sits the 12-hour counter. Both the chronograph hands and the small seconds hand display the signature Hermes orange shade.
