Launched in 2003, the Héritage series has become a Louis Erard bestseller. Such success can be clearly attributed to the unpretentious discretion of its design, its technical reliability and its aesthetic balance.

In 2007, the series welcomed new models with a few tangible improvements. Careful not to change the nature of the models, Louis Erard has further improved daytime and night-time legibility by reinforcing the hour-markers and opting for hands with superluminova. The round case, classic but extremely popular, has been slightly rejuvenated.

The “Héritage” collection offers three versions: Chronograph, Date, and Day-Date. Three coloured dials – black, silvered or bronze – are available for each model.

The Chronograph model, a perfect balance of performance and elegance, has three counters at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock, which give it a sporty-chic character. Driven by the ETA 7750 automatic movement, the Louis Erard Heritage Chronograph features a 40mm diameter case.

The Date and Day-Date timepieces are distinguished by the delicate and judicious positioning of the windows: at 3 o’clock for the date on the first; at 6 and 12 o’clock respectively for the date and day of the week on the second.

The Louis Erard Heritage Date watch has a 40mm diameter case with the self-winding ETA 2824 movement beating inside. Featuring the same case diameter, the Day Date model is equipped with the ETA 2834 automatic calibre.

These stainless steel watches can now be fitted with a leather strap or a steel bracelet. All models from this collection are 50 meter water resistant.
