Riviera XXL Chrono Diver - Baume & Mercier

What makes the ultra contemporary Baume & Mercier Rivera XXL Chrono Diver ahead of everyone else is its sheer ruggedness.

The XXL case is polished and satin-brushed steel features a screw-down crown on the side, enhanced by the brand-signature Phi symbol. The beveled black rotating bezel, in keeping with the finest Rivera traditions, enables its owner to measure dive times and even gives an indication when it is time to return to the surface. These impressive attributes make this sports-watch one of the finest.

The nail motif has been used in both gold and silver as an ornamental detail on the most coveted accessory items. Just like the horsebit, this symbol originated in the equestrian world and is modeled on the pyramindal nails that are used to hold the shoe on the horse’s hoof. The Chiodo collection has two elegant watch case shapes, round and square, both of which have a luminescent mother-of-pearl dial. These watches spell sophistication and have a unique jewel-like quality to their appearance. Bold angles and contours make these timepieces exquisite. They come in both gold and solid sterling silver versions. (more…)
