Havid Nagan has introduced the NH02, a more compact and refined evolution of the California-based independent brand’s earlier watch designs. Limited to 42 pieces, the new model pairs a 38mm Grade 5 titanium case with a multi-layer enamel dial and a COSC-certified hand-wound movement, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2026.
A more wearable direction for Havid Nagan
Founded by Aren Bazerkanian, Havid Nagan first drew attention with the HN00 in 2022, followed by the HN01 Lucine. Those earlier watches used bold architectural cases measuring more than 40mm across and close to 11mm thick.
The NH02 moves the design in a more restrained direction. Its cushion-shaped case has been reduced to 38mm in diameter and 9mm thick, making it notably slimmer and easier to wear than the brand’s previous models.
The case is made from Grade 5 titanium and is offered either in standard form or with a DLC-treated finish. It uses a three-part construction with brushed and polished surfaces, a display caseback and 50 metres of water resistance.
Redesigned lugs and easier strap changes
One of the most significant visual changes is found at the lugs. The NH02 moves away from the lug design used on earlier Havid Nagan watches and adopts a more traditional elongated shape.
This gives the watch a cleaner profile and should also make strap changes more straightforward. The watch is delivered on an alligator leather strap with an interchangeable strap system.
A layered dial built around flinqué enamel
The NH02’s front display is one of its defining features. Rather than a simple dial, it uses a multi-layer construction with different materials, finishes and depths.
The central hours-and-minutes dial is made using flinqué enamel, combining hand-engraved guilloché with translucent grand feu enamel. It is offered in two gradient colours, Azure and Ember. The process requires repeated high-temperature firings, and any flaw can cause the component to be rejected.
The time display includes three-dimensional hour markers and arrowhead-shaped hands. Around it sits a sapphire layer carrying the minute track, with polished spheres marking the five-minute intervals.
At 6 o’clock, the small seconds display is integrated into the composition. A hammered silver-finished brass structure surrounds the main time dial, while another small component visually supports the seconds subdial from below. Beneath these layers, the movement’s front plate is visible, finished in a warm gold tone with perlage.
COSC-certified AMT6600 movement
The NH02 is powered by the AMT6600 calibre, a hand-wound movement produced by AMT Manufacture. The same base calibre is used in the Classic One, though Havid Nagan has given this version its own finishing treatment.
The movement features skeletonised bridges with a hammered finish and polished anglage. Its mainplate is galvanised in 2N gold and given a soft textured finish. It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 62 hours of power reserve.
The calibre is COSC-certified, adding chronometer certification to the NH02’s list of specifications.
Production, price and delivery timing
The Havid Nagan NH02 will be produced in a total run of 42 pieces, divided between Azure and Ember dial versions and between standard titanium and DLC-coated case options.
The retail price is USD 18,000. Orders require a 50 percent deposit, and deliveries are expected to begin in Q3 2026.
