Chanel Première Steel Diamond-set Bezel - Steel Chain bracelet

Chanel Première “Women’s” — Ref. H0495 — Steel, diamond-set bezel — Black dial — Quartz — Steel chain-style bracelet — Pre-owned 2002

All the refinement of Place Vendôme on your wrist: a pure line, a flash of diamonds, a watch like no other—this essential piece is signed CHANEL.

At first glance, the octagonal silhouette speaks of Paris and Place Vendôme; the diamond bezel doesn’t dazzle, it underlines—like a hem of light. What the Première H0495 offers above all is rarity: a considered piece with discreet distribution, one you won’t see at every dinner—or on all your friends’ wrists. It speaks softly and accurately: a deep black dial, a pure design, a steel bracelet that falls like a couture chain. You wear it for what it is—a secret of style—and for what it is not: a commonplace watch. Here, exclusivity isn’t flaunted, it’s sensed; you read it in the precision of the setting, the measured proportions, and that very CHANEL way of imposing a confidential distinction.

Launched in 1987, the Première officially opened CHANEL’s watchmaking chapter. Reference H0495 belongs to the collection’s maturity: a steel/quartz interpretation with diamond bezel and black dial, offered from the late 1990s and still seen on the market in the early 2000s. Several sizes coexisted during this period; the H0495 is found mainly in the small format, sometimes in a larger variant, always faithful to the original spirit—an object of style that fully embraces its function. By day, the Première H0495 punctuates a white shirt, sharpens a charcoal blazer, brightens raw denim; by night, the line becomes jewel-like, the bezel wakes under the lights, and the black dial keeps its depth. It complements a chic silhouette without ostentation, with that blend of modernity and classicism that is unmistakably CHANEL.

The polished steel case draws a rectangular form with bevelled corners, its restrained, taut proportions suiting slender wrists as well as more assertive ones depending on the size. The diamond-set bezel forms a regular border of light—controlled and precise—while the sapphire crystal provides everyday resilience. The black dial favours instant legibility, the steel hands respond with accuracy, and the quartz movement brings that silent reliability that lets you wear the watch without thinking about winding. The steel chain-style bracelet closes with a jewelry clasp, preserving visual continuity and comfort across a range of wrist sizes—we size it in our workshop on request. The intent is deliberately urban: a luminous watch-jewel that loves silk, crêpe, dark denim and structured jackets.

Each example selected by Mostra is checked in our workshop: full diagnostic of the quartz movement, basic water-resistance test, loupe inspection of the diamond setting, ultrasonic cleaning of case and bracelet, clasp check and sizing. The watch is delivered with a certificate of authenticity and Mostra’s 3-year warranty, presented in a Mostra Luxury Case. Choosing your Première H0495 at Mostra means benefitting from a rigorous selection where configuration coherence (case, bezel, dial, bracelet) is verified with care; an in-house workshop that favours measured polishing and the preservation of edges; and long-term support—wearing advice, maintenance, adjustments, and after-sales follow-up.
