Baume & Mercier Riviera Diver Watches
Jun 5, 2008
Baume & Mercier has enriched its sporty Riviera watch collection with two new models, both of which are equipped with unidirectional rotating bezels in the characteristic 12-sided design. Both of these Baume & Mercier timepieces are well suited for diving and other water-related sports, thanks to their water resistance rating of 200 meters.
The Riviera XXL Chronograph Diver watch features a polished 43mm stainless steel case, a black dial with luminous Roman figures, and a synthetic strap with contrasting stitching. The movement is an Valjoux 7750 caliber, whose reliability and precise performance makes it an ideal engine for this sporty design; the caliber offers a 12-hour and 30-minute counter, as well as subsidiary seconds and a date display. Power reserve of the mainspring is 48 hours.
The Riviera XL Diver watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, and a matching polished stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp. A blue aluminum insert on the rotating bezel hints at the sea-going aspirations of this model. An ETA 2824 self-winding movement with sweep seconds and a rapid-adjust date feature ticks beneath the screw-down caseback.
