The Nostalgia Nice by SÖNER Watches captures the effortless elegance of the French Riviera, inspired by the timeless charm of Nice and its sunlit Mediterranean coastline. Its brushed gold-plated rectangular case, crafted from hardened stainless steel, frames a radiant sunburst blue dial that shifts subtly with the light, echoing the sea and sky of southern France. Gold-plated indices and hands add warmth and balance, while the arched, screw-down case back and custom crown reflect SÖNER’s uncompromising attention to detail. The clean geometry and refined proportions convey a relaxed yet confident sophistication, rooted in classic design.
The Nostalgia Nice is a 28 x 40 mm rectangular quartz watch in brushed gold-plated hardened stainless steel, 7 mm thick, with a blue sunburst dial, a Swiss ETA movement and an 11-year battery.
