The Baume & Mercier Riviera Automatic Slate Grey Dial Rubber Strap Watch, 42mm, is a sophisticated Swiss-made timepiece designed for everyday wear. This automatic watch features a 42mm dodecagon stainless steel case with a polished and satin finish, complemented by a sandblasted titanium non-rotating bezel and a sun satin-finished slate grey dial. Powered by a Sellita SW200 caliber movement with 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve, it displays hour, minute, second, and date functions, all protected by a sapphire crystal and visible through an open case back. The watch is secured with a grey rubber strap and an adjustable triple folding buckle with security push-pieces, offering water resistance up to 100 meters.
Decide between quartz (accurate, low maintenance) or mechanical (craftsmanship, sweeping hand, requires servicing). Match the case diameter to your wrist size to avoid looking disproportionate. Available from $3,500.
Mechanical watches require professional servicing every 5-7 years to clean and oil the movement, which can be expensive. Quartz watches simply need cheap battery replacements.
