Product Highlights:

• Long-lasting and unlikely to wear out over the life of the watch

• Easier to clean and maintain over time 
• Has a more luxurious look due to use in many high-end watches (Rolex for example) 

It comes with a Champagne Dial. Also referred to as a “Pie Pan” dial is characterized by edges that slope down slightly around the outer rim, similar to the shape of a pie pan. A “quartz” watch is one that is powered by a quartz movement, complete with an electronic circuit board, synthetic quartz crystal, and battery, as opposed to mechanical moving gears, wheels, and other parts.

Most quartz movements, whose second hands move in individual “ticks,” beat at a frequency of 32,768 oscillations per second, although today there is also very high precision (VHP) calibers on the market that vibrate at even faster oscillations per minute.  Its made of Sapphires one of the hardest minerals in the world that why its scratch-resistance.

The Baume & Mercier watchmaking Maison has always had powerful emotional and celebratory connotations while expressing watchmaking excellence in all its creations. Since 1830, it has embodied a family history in which a passion for detail and a quest for excellence convey a firm commitment: to preserve its heritage while being an essential partner of memorable moments. 

For Baume & Mercier, time is far more than just a sequence of seconds, minutes, and hours: it is marked by special moments that we love to celebrate which highlight our “Life is about moments” motto.

Care Instruction:

• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme heat or sudden changes in temperature or humidity (sauna, Jacuzzi, hot springs, etc.).
• Protect your mechanical watch from magnetism by keeping it away from strong magnetic sources, such as microwaves, x-rays, speakers, etc.
• Avoid forceful impacts; it is not recommended to wear your watch while playing any sports that may cause any shocks or jolts to the wrist (such as golf or tennis) unless your watch is intended for sports use.
• After adjusting the hour/date on a piece with a crown security closing system, the crown must be tightened again to prevent outside elements from entering the case such as dust or humidity. To prevent damage to the movement, avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM so as to not disrupt the date wheel function.
• The average lifespan of your battery is two to four years depending on the type of movement. We advise you not to leave an old battery inside your watch as an old battery can leak and damage the movement.
• Before any contact with water, check that the crown and push buttons are properly closed. Do not activate any mechanical features while your watch is underwater unless your piece is designed for water sports or scuba diving.

• Water-resistant watches should be washed with running lukewarm water after contact with seawater or chlorine. Watches that are worn in water should be checked for water resistance every two years to ensure the gaskets have not been compromised. Avoid contact with Fragrance, alcohol, cosmetics, ammonia, and chlorine, and always place your watch on a soft surface.
