Baume & Mercier Riviera Diver Watches

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.
