Chameri CH01 Rectangular Dress Watch

Chameri CH01 Rectangular Dress Watch — Ultra-Thin Swiss Quartz, Sapphire Crystal

A clean, classic rectangular dress watch

The CH01 is built around restraint: a rectangular 316L steel case, a cream dial with black Roman numerals framed by a fine railroad minute track, and slim blued steel sword hands. There’s no seconds hand — the two-hand layout keeps the dial calm and symmetrical, exactly what a dress watch should be. At just 7.1mm thick, it disappears under a shirt cuff.

Ultra-thin Swiss quartz

Inside is the Swiss Ronda 762 quartz movement — an ultra-thin, reliable Swiss caliber that keeps accurate time with almost no upkeep and lets the case stay genuinely slim. It’s the practical, low-maintenance heart of a watch you can wear daily and forget about.

Sapphire crystal, steel, and traditional details

The dial sits under a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for lasting clarity. The 316L stainless steel case is polished to a bright dress finish, and the crown is topped with a domed blue cabochon (a synthetic blue stone) — a classic flourish that reads far above the price. The blued steel hands carry that deep, shifting blue tone that catches the light. The genuine leather strap is soft from day one and pairs with a signed pin buckle.

Everyday water resistance

Rated 50m, the CH01 handles the realities of daily wear — rain, splashes, and hand-washing. It has a standard (non-screw) dress crown, so keep it out of pools and showers: it isn’t a swimming or diving watch.

Declared spec

(Case diameter/lume rows don’t apply — it’s a rectangular two-hand dress watch with no lume specified. Don’t invent lume.)

Variants

The image shown is the polished steel case / cream Roman-numeral dial on a black leather strap. If your supplier offers other dial colours, case tones, or strap colours, add each as a variant with its own accurate description — and keep every crown described as a synthetic blue cabochon.

Sizing / fit

At 27.5mm wide × 38mm long and only 7.1mm thick, the CH01 wears as a slim, classic rectangular dress watch — elegant on smaller-to-medium wrists and comfortable under a cuff. The 20mm leather strap fits via a standard pin buckle with multiple holes; a rectangular case like this sits best snug rather than loose, so size it one hole tighter than a round sports watch.

Care note

A quartz movement needs little beyond a fresh battery every couple of years. Keep the crown pushed fully in, and treat this as a dry-wear dress watch — wipe it down after humid days, keep it away from pools, showers, and steam, and store it away from strong magnets. Leather strap life is longest if you let it dry between wears and avoid soaking it; a spare strap is an easy way to change the look.

FAQ

Is the CH01 automatic or quartz? Quartz — it runs an ultra-thin Swiss Ronda 762 quartz movement. Accurate, slim, and low-maintenance, with a battery change every couple of years.

Is it a “Swiss Made” watch? The movement is Swiss (Ronda 762). The watch itself is assembled in China, so it’s described as having a Swiss movement rather than as “Swiss Made.”

Is the blue crown stone a real sapphire? No — it’s a synthetic blue stone (cabochon). It gives the classic dress-watch look without the gemstone price.

Is the crystal sapphire? Yes — a genuine sapphire crystal, highly scratch-resistant.

Can I swim or shower with it? No. It’s rated 50m for rain, splashes, and hand-washing only, with a standard dress crown — keep it out of pools and showers. It isn’t a dive watch and isn’t “waterproof.”

Why is there no seconds hand? The Ronda 762 is a two-hand movement (hours and minutes). The clean, secondless dial is a traditional dress-watch look.
