The replica Calibre 333116 is built for buyers who care more about proportions and finishing than logos on a waitlist. It pairs a slim self-winding movement with a case that sits flat on the wrist, so it works under a cuff on Monday and with a t-shirt on Saturday. This guide covers what the watch actually delivers, how it is put together, and what happens after checkout.
Key Features
- Automatic calibre with sweeping seconds hand and smooth crown winding
- Case profile matched to the original, with alternating brushed and polished surfaces
- Sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating for a near-invisible read
- Applied hour markers and faceted hands with luminous fill
- Exhibition caseback showing the decorated rotor, bridges and blued screws
- Solid-link bracelet with solid end links and a machined deployant clasp
- Screw-down crown and a gasket-sealed caseback for everyday splash resistance
Materials and Specifications
The case and bracelet are machined from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, then hand-finished so the brushing runs in one direction and the polished chamfers catch light cleanly. Case diameter sits at roughly 41 mm with a thickness near 11 mm and a 20 mm lug width, which keeps it wearable on most wrists and easy to pair with aftermarket straps. Inside, the automatic movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve in the 40-hour range, and each piece is checked for rate and beat before packing. Water resistance is rated for daily contact with water rather than diving, so handwashing and rain are fine while swimming is not advised.
Shipping and Returns
Orders are packed discreetly in a protective travel pouch and shipped with tracking, typically leaving the workshop within a few business days. Inspect the watch on arrival: if anything is not as described or a defect appears, contact support within the stated returns window for a replacement or refund, and keep the packaging until you have confirmed everything is correct.
What is Calibre 333116?
It is the automatic movement reference used in this model, a self-winding calibre with a central rotor, date function and a power reserve of roughly two days. In a replica, the quality of that movement is what determines how the seconds hand sweeps and how the crown feels.
How close is this replica to the original?
Case dimensions, dial layout, hand shapes and bracelet finishing are matched closely to the genuine reference, with the biggest differences usually appearing in movement decoration under the caseback. On the wrist, the silhouette and weight distribution read correctly.
How should I care for it?
Rinse the caseback with fresh water after heavy sweating, avoid magnets and hot showers, and have the gaskets checked yearly if you wear it daily. Wind it gently by hand after long periods of rest.
