All about the Le Forban Sécurité Mer Rochelaise Sand-Grey (sand gray / brown) Superkompressor Tropic bracelet
About the all-new Le Forban Sécurité Mer Rochelaise Sand-Grey (sand gray / brown) super compressor on the Tropic bracelet
from France!
New & original packaging. Only available from me in Germany.
Inspired by the original watch designs of the 60s and 70s, the Rochelaise is a sophisticated harmony of curves. With its rotating inner bezel with stamped indices and its chrome-plated printed indices on the dial at the cardinal points, it impresses with its originality and subtlety. A diving watch that you can enjoy in all circumstances!

The Rochelaise is a subtle mix of elements from our favorite watches of the '60s and '70s - which we wanted to pay tribute to.

By the way: Le Forban Sécurité Mer makes its wristwatches in the workshops of the French watchmaker Christian Plantin. Here they are assembled, checked and adjusted. The price-performance ratio is also really excellent. For a mid-three-digit sum, there is hardly anything comparable anywhere else Quality. The perfect introduction, right?
Sand Grey: A warm gray with gold-plated accents.
sea green: A teal with deep accents that reflects the color of the waters of La Rochelle.
Its tortoise-style case is based on the rounded shapes of '70s watches, and the rotating inner bezel is a throwback to the 'supercompressor' design of the '60s. The Rochelaise stays true to the retro spirit and pairs perfectly with our new, finely etched bracelet Steel. An original watch that completes the Le Forban collection and offers a completely new alternative to our early models.
VERY EASY TO READ, EVEN AT NIGHT
Whether in daylight or at night, your watch remains readable by using Swiss Super-Luminova® C3, the brightest lumen on the market. Designed to remain legible in the deepest abyss, the luminous material will also prove useful to night owls navigating the shadows...
REFINED AND COMFORTABLE - Le Forban Sécurité Mer Rochelaise Sand-Grey (sand gray / brown) Superkompressor Tropic bracelet
With the aim of achieving an ideal combination of appearance and comfort, we paid particular attention to the curves and finesse of the Rochelaise case. Due to its balanced proportions and low profile, the Rochelaise is a unisex watch , which will look great on any wrist size, just like all the watches in the Le Forban range.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL
We have chosen a very specific manufacturing technique for the internal bezel. The indices are pressed into the metal, the resulting depth offering a unique aesthetic - a technique borrowed from the 60s. The surfaces of the indices are polished to complete the aesthetic effect and maximize readability. And as a finishing touch, the Rochelaise is equipped with a red seconds hand, a reminder of its diving watch DNA.
ULTRA-RELIABLE AUTOMATIC MIYOTA movement
The Miyota 9039 has been in production since 2018 and is a high-quality, Japanese automatic movement. Due to the thinness of this movement, the Rochelaise case has a particularly low profile - less than 12 mm.
Power reserve: 42 hours
Seconds remains when the crown is pulled out.
ASYMMETRIC CROWNS AND EMBOSSED BACK
To highlight the back, we use the same embossing technique on all our watches. For the Rochelaise we chose the motif of a sea rope as a tribute to the nearby Royal Ropemaking Factory of Rochefort. With its screw-down crown, the Rochelaise is designed to be water resistant up to 150 meters. Its second crown, which rotates the inner bezel, has been intentionally placed in an asymmetrical position, giving an original but vintage-inspired charm.
The detailed test is already finished and will be online shortly! Stay tuned!
My conclusion:

"I was immediately impressed by the new Le Forban Sécurité Mer Rochelaise. After the extensive test, this was more than confirmed. The Rochelaise is significantly more elaborately designed than Malouine or Brestoise. An example of the brand's increased demands is the compressor technology that has now been introduced and the Rochelaise stands out from the confusing diving watch market."

About me
My name is David, I was born in the late 60s in NRW, now live and work in the beautiful Harz Mountains, and have been running this watch shop, among other things, since spring 2022.
Since 2018, I have also been running my watch blog watchdavid.de, which features hundreds of reviews and watch news. Since then, I have taken thousands of professional watch photos for over 100 watch brands. Many photos can be found in my reviews. I am known worldwide for this.
As a result, I naturally had thousands of watches in my hands. And with this shop, I want to bring you closer to watches that have convinced me in many ways.
So come along on a journey full of watches... off the mainstream... and if you have a question, please feel free to ask me anytime via the form, chat, WhatsApp, email or phone.
I am very much looking forward to meeting you.
PS: My hobbies & passions include the internet (first agency already in 1996), Denmark, France's coasts (Brittany, Normandy & Côte d’Azur), hiking, e-MTB, sales (Bachelor of Sales) and photography.
My Achilles' heel includes children's chocolate, good food, sneakers & of course watches... :-)
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.
The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Cancellation & Return Shipping
You can cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself, I will send you the free return label.
Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of signs of use. After successful inspection, I will refund you the purchase price. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee you that all watches I offer are exclusively new original products. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly point this out (e.g. so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
No response received?
You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?
Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and pushing more and more into spam.
I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.
Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too
Before I ship your order, I carefully check each watch for visible defects.
If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.
My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
