Corniche Unveils the Sand Militaire II
Swedish watch brand Corniche is set to launch its exclusive chronograph, the Sand Militaire II, at the H°M’S WatchStore in Shibuya, Tokyo, under the leadership of President Yuushi Arai from Bijou Cool Co., Ltd. This luxurious timepiece follows the highly sought-after Vert Militaire from 2021, which sold out instantly. The Sand Militaire II is part of Corniche's military series, showcasing a stunning combination of sand beige and rose gold while offering a reinterpretation of military elegance.
Design and Features
The Sand Militaire II features a 39mm case crafted from 316L stainless steel, which is skillfully designed to highlight a three-dimensional profile through a blend of polished and satin finishes. Inspired by the Riviera culture of France, the warm color palette is reminiscent of sandy landscapes, while the dial's Arabic indexes and rail weight track enhance both readability and visual appeal. The white sub-dials and the tachymeter scale accentuate the classic sport style, elevating the watch's presence on the wrist.
Equipped with the SEIKO VK64 mecha-quartz movement, the chronograph functions with a smooth operation typical of mechanical movements. This fine movement ensures high reliability and precision suitable for everyday use. Each case is marked with an individual serial number, emphasizing its exclusivity as a limited-release collector's item.
Straps with Tradition
A standout feature of the Sand Militaire II is its strap, crafted from a innovative blend of cotton and hemp, utilizing Japan's renowned Fujikinbai textiles. This combination offers a comfortable wearing experience, balancing softness and durability. The military-inspired practicality and quality craftsmanship create a product that is as useful as it is stylish.
With the gentle sand beige color accented by rose gold, this combination evokes the inviting scenery of the Mediterranean, enhancing the wearer's overall elegance. Only 249 pieces of the Sand Militaire II will be available globally, with limited stock sold in Japan until supplies last.
Release and Purchase Details
The Sand Militaire II will have its soft launch at the H°M’S WatchStore in Omotesando, Tokyo, starting December 13, 2025, and will be available at authorized Corniche retailers. The official online store will begin selling the watch on December 15, 2025, marking an exciting addition to the brand's collection.
