Circa 1960.
A true icon of French watchmaking from the 1960s, the Le Forban Sécurité-Mer remains today one of the brand’s most emblematic models. Known for having accompanied the French maritime world and often associated with the universe of the French Navy, it perfectly embodies the spirit of the tool watches of that period: robust, legible, and designed for adventure.
This example immediately charms with its black dial featuring large luminous hour markers and its heavily patinated rotating bezel. The bluish reflections that appear from certain angles further enhance its character and bear witness to several decades of history on the wrist.
Fitted with a Tropic-style rubber strap, this Sécurité-Mer retains all the personality that made vintage French dive watches so renowned.
