The new Baume & Mercier HAMPTON Automatic watch with Big date and Dual time features a rectangular-shaped polished steel case and an opaline and grained slate dial.
Along the white minute track, which emphasizes the iconic rectangular shape, are riveted rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and indexes. This HAMPTON watch also features the emblematic “Glaive” hands.
The large date aperture appears at 12 o’clock, while the second time zone and day night indicator are both located at 6 o’clock. The watch is equipped with the Soprod TT651 automatic calibre.
The sapphire crystal case back reveals the watchmaking decorations of the movement: circular-grained bridges, a sand-blasted and snailed baseplate, and an oscillating weight with “Côtes de Genève” decorations.
The self-winding movement offers a 42-hour power reserve. As an elegant finishing touch, the watch is mounted on a black alligator skin strap with square scales and tone-on-tone overstitching.
