Every year at the end of the year, the popularity of limited edition watches for the New Year will soar, and a few friends around me also come to ask me, do you have any recommendations for rabbit watches? The requirement is not to be too high-profile, it is better to be more practical, not only can be worn in the Year of the Rabbit, Baume & Mercier Riviera series limited editions for the Year of the Rabbit exist like this. As one of the best-selling styles of Baume & Mercier in the past two years, the Riviera series is also expected to be launched by the brand based on it. After we got the real thing, we found that it was really worth seeing.

If you want to use two words to describe this watch, I think it is "hazy", and it handles the elements related to the Year of the Rabbit in a hazy way. Keeping it from jumping too far can not only improve the high-end sense of the watch, but also enhance its practicality.

This watch continues the consistent design style of the Riviera series, with a stainless steel case and a dodecagonal bezel, showing a bold and innovative style. According to ancient Chinese observations of the universe and calculation of time, as well as astrology and astronomical calendars, the Chinese calendar takes twelve years as a round, and an average year is composed of twelve lunar months, which ingeniously echo the twelve sides of the bezel , Whether it is a coincidence or intentional, it is a surprise.

Viewed from the side, the thickness of this Riviera series watch is moderate. It can even be said that it is a relatively thin style among sports best replica watches, reaching 10.66mm.

At first glance, the dial looks the same as a regular Riviera watch, but a closer inspection reveals a hidden mystery. In Chinese culture, "8" symbolizes good luck and wealth, and celebrities "hidden" a spirit rabbit between the mountain and sea patterns at 8 o'clock on the disk, which is why many watch friends are full of praise for this watch. .

Matched with the smoky gray sapphire glass dial are 5N PVD gold-plated stainless steel rivet-type Roman numeral hour markers and hollow hands. In order to ensure that the wearer can read the time clearly in any environment, the hour markers and hands are coated with Superluminova Luminous coating, emits a shining blue light at night, lighting up the darkness.

In addition to the rabbit on the dial, this watch also made a fuss about the crown. The designer of Baume & Mercier replica drew inspiration from the red rope we wear in the New Year, and circled a circle of red lines in the middle of the octagonal freestyle crown, which can not only convey blessings intuitively, but also not reveal the age and privacy of the zodiac. It is indeed very comprehensive.

The atmosphere of the New Year must be created by many details. In addition to the ordinary stainless steel bracelet, Baume & Mercier also provides the wearer with a satin textured rubber strap, and is equipped with a quick release device, so that the wearer can watch it by himself without tools. Change the strap and play with watch fashion.

Through the back of the watch, we can appreciate the brand-made BM13-1975A self-winding movement equipped with this watch. It has 1500 Gauss antimagnetic and can resist all magnetic fields in daily life. In addition, the accuracy of this movement is -4/+6 seconds, which meets the certification standards of the Swiss Official Observatory. However, the most practical function is the long dynamic storage. This watch can provide about 120 hours of dynamic storage when fully wound, which is superior in performance compared to watches of the same price.

Let’s take a look at the design of the bottom of the watch. The pattern of auspicious rabbits is printed on the bottom cover of the sapphire crystal glass. The fretwork around it is a very typical traditional pattern. It is often used to decorate classical musical instruments. Its history can be traced back to 1600. Before, the background is profound.
