Baume & Mercier's Capeland S two-tone chronograph watch for men (model 8321) will feel at home both in the boardroom or on a wakeboard. A worthy complement for black tie evenings with 18 karat yellow gold accenting brushed silver high-grade stainless steel, it will also stand up to the rigors of recreational scuba diving, with water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet). The large, round watch case (measuring 44.5mm, or 1.75 inches, with crown) is topped by a mirror-polished unidirectional rotating bezel with embossed elapsed time markings and gold accents. The case also features golden beveled chronograph push buttons and a screw-in fluted crown. The three-link stainless steel bracelet band offers a brushed silver finish and highly polished golden accents.

The white dial face is supplemented by three chronograph subdials (30-minute and 12-hour register as well as small seconds). It also offers large luminous dial markers and dagger-shaped gold-tone hands (with seconds hand) as well as small minute indexes on the outer edge of the dial (with small Arabic 5-minute markers). Other features include a date window at 3 o'clock and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This watch comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The top subdial is stamped with Baume & Mercier's signature Greek letter Phi (Φ), which symbolizes the harmonious lines and a perfect balance in design that the company constantly strives for. It's long been used to denote the golden number, or ratio, which suggests a natural balance between symmetry and asymmetry.

An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time. Remember--as long as you're moving, the watch will keep moving. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked. The Geneva Society of Arts reported in 1776 that fifteen minutes walking was all that was necessary to wind the watch sufficiently for eight days.
