aventure celebrates the different universes of exploration: sea, air, land, space and others, to create genuinely vintage “Tool Watches”.

A true instrument for the adventurer who loves beautiful objects, Laventure, a watch of character, constitutes a sort of link between past and present, tradition and modernity.

Through a vintage, the brand set out to discover an imagination linked to exploration: Laventure Marine, Sous-marine, Transatlantique or even Automobile...

The new models are smaller, thinner, lighter, more comfortable, more ergonomic, and distinctly vintage. Through homothetic reduction, the watches are proportionally scaled down, preserving their original shape and proportions while reducing overall size.

In mathematical terms, a homothety is a geometric transformation that uniformly enlarges or shrinks a figure, maintaining all proportions and the same overall shape.

The 316L stainless steel bezel receives a Plexiglas^® insert. The 24-hour numbers and indexes have been fine-tuned to provide more volume and better reading. They are machined from the mass then filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova Grade X1 green photoluminescent material. These luminous numbers are therefore in relief in the Plexiglas^®. The two light and dark zones symbolise the hours of day and night.

Plexiglas has been part of the composition of Laventure watches for several years now. The brand says: “It’s lighter, there is less reflection, these reflections are more aesthetic, it is more resistant to strong impacts and unlike sapphire crystal, it does not break into a thousand sharp flakes. It is made in Switzerland, the Superdome is genuinely ‘Vintage’ and acquires a patina over time. Scratches are very easily re-polished, something you can do yourself.”

The dial features a ‘sandwich’ construction, with a gradient matte brown top plate machined to create the twelve indexes. The lower plate receives a generous amount of Swiss Super-LumiNova, a photoluminescent material in Grade X1 and green emission to ensure optimal readability.

The Caliber 3 is a Swiss automatic mechanical movement produced by Sellita on the SW330-2 base for Laventure, certified as a ‘Chronometer’ by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). This certification guarantees a precision rate of -4/+6 seconds per day.

To reach this certification delivered by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), each Laventure Caliber 3 movement is tested for 15 days, in 5 positions and at three different temperatures: 8°C, 23°C and 38°C.

The COSC comes to monitor the proper functioning of the movement on a daily basis. Based on the measurements, 7 eliminatory criteria are calculated. If and only if the 7 criteria are met, the movement receives its certification.

Inspired by the works of Jules Verne: Les Voyages Extraordinaires from Éditions Hetzel, the watch box is, beyond a simple box, a beautiful object that we display.

The watch box has been completely redesigned. The exterior is reworked to provide more details and let the illustration fully express itself. The dark green suede-like interior has several compartments to store: bracelets, tools, accessories and other surprises. A real toolbox.
