The MAEN Manhattan 40 is a sophisticated Swiss-made automatic sports watch that combines vintage-inspired design with contemporary engineering, refined finishing, and exceptional everyday versatility. This pre-owned example is presented in great condition, featuring the striking Midnight Blue Côtes de Genève dial, distinctive vertically elongated octagonal bezel, and integrated stainless steel bracelet.
Inspired by the iconic integrated-bracelet sports watches of the 1970s, the Manhattan 40 delivers a bold yet elegant design that stands apart from traditional round-case watches. Its geometric case construction, carefully executed finishing, and beautifully textured dial create a distinctive combination of vintage character and modern refinement.
The centerpiece of reference M3.1.1 is its remarkable Midnight Blue Côtes de Genève dial. Featuring vertically elongated Geneva-stripe finishing, the dial produces an impressive interplay of light and shadow, revealing different shades of blue depending on the viewing angle and surrounding lighting conditions.
The watch is housed in a 40mm 316L stainless steel case, measuring approximately 10.2mm thick and 49.3mm lug-to-lug. These balanced proportions provide a substantial wrist presence while maintaining a slim and comfortable profile.
The vertically elongated octagonal bezel gives the Manhattan its unmistakable identity, while the combination of satin-brushed surfaces and polished accents highlights the architectural lines of the case.
Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, providing excellent clarity and durability. Applied polished hour markers and C1 X1 Super-LumiNova enhance legibility while preserving the dial’s elegant appearance.
Powering the Manhattan 40 is the Swiss La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement, featuring 24 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and an impressive 65-hour power reserve. The movement incorporates KIF Parechoc shock protection and provides central hours, minutes, seconds, and a date complication.
Completing the watch is its beautifully finished integrated 316L stainless steel bracelet, featuring satin-brushed surfaces, polished edges, a gradual taper, and a concealed butterfly clasp. The bracelet flows naturally from the case, reinforcing the cohesive and sophisticated design.
With 100 meters / 330 feet of water resistance, Swiss automatic engineering, and a distinctive integrated-bracelet construction, the MAEN Manhattan 40 offers an appealing combination of style, functionality, and mechanical craftsmanship.
