Carbonsports 7H95 - Sapphire

The Aristo Carbonsport 7H95 draws its inspiration from the iconic barrel-shaped sports watches of the 1970s and 1980s. It's a compelling offering from the German watchmaker, striking a tasteful balance between sportiness, contemporary craftsmanship, and nostalgic charm.

Let's start with the case—where the magic begins. Influenced by vintage chronographs and divers from brands like LeJour, Heuer, and Omega, the Aristo Carbonsports 7H95 embraces the barrel case silhouette that once ruled the wrists of enthusiasts in the '70s and '80s. Measuring 39mm in width, 47mm lug-to-lug, and only 10mm thick, it wears sleek and versatile on most wrist sizes.
 
Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case features a two-part construction: a mid-case seamlessly integrated with the bezel, and a screw-down case back. It's hand-finished with satin brushing on the top and sides, exuding a subtle, tool-watch elegance. Even more exciting, the case features a display back—an enthusiast's window into the reliable Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement inside. And as with all exclusive Aristo watches for Gnomon, this one's fitted with a sapphire crystal for maximum durability and clarity.

True to its name, the Carbonsport showcases a carbon fiber dial—adding texture, depth, and a touch of modern flair. It keeps things clean and legible, with bold Arabic numerals from 1 to 12 and minimal text. The black-and-white theme enhances its sporty character, while the green SuperLuminova-filled hour and minute hands offer excellent readability and match the carbon aesthetic. The hands features a change in hands, opting for a more readable sword hands set.
 
Powering the Aristo Carbonsports 7H95 is the ever-reliable Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), it offers both hacking and hand-winding functions, 25 jewels, and a solid 40-hour power reserve—giving you everything you'd want in a robust daily driver.

Rounding off the package is Aristo's own Milanese mesh bracelet, a brilliant match to the vintage-inspired case. It's soft, flexible, and wraps around the wrist with a comfort that feels tailor-made. This bracelet not only completes the retro-modern look but enhances the overall wearing experience.
 
The Aristo Carbonsports 7H95 is the kind of watch that speaks to collectors and casual enthusiasts alike. It's sporty, stylish, and packed with retro charm—without compromising on contemporary features. From the carbon fiber dial to the barrel-shaped case and the dependable Swiss heart within, it's a thoughtfully designed timepiece. And at this price point, it's one of the most compelling German-made watches out there.
