Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Accessories
Hermès has released a reimagined version of its H08 watch, built from fibreglass, ceramic and rubber. The 39mm model is offered in white and blue-and-white editions, each priced at €8,150 / $8,600.
Why it matters
The update reworks a collection on sale since 2021 with new case materials and a self-winding movement. For buyers considering luxury accessories, the pricing and materials define the offering at this tier.
The watch measures 39mm and runs on the self-winding Hermès H1837 movement, which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 50-hour power reserve. Each edition is priced at €8,150 / $8,600, and the prior-edition price comparison was not available.
