The Baume & Mercier Riviera Automatic Black Dial Polished Steel Bracelet Watch, 42mm, is a sophisticated Swiss-made timepiece. It features a 42mm dodecagon stainless steel case with a polished and satin finish, housing a sun satin-finished black dial with silver-tone Roman numerals and rhodium-plated Dauphine hands. Powered by a Sellita SW200 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve and 26 jewels, this watch offers hour, minute, second, and date indicator functions, all protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a sapphire crystal case back. Its polished and satin-finished stainless steel bracelet with a triple folding clasp and security push-pieces ensures a secure fit, while a water resistance of 10 Bar (100m) makes it suitable for everyday wear.
