The Baume et Mercier Capeland S Chronograph Titanium comes in a few versions and one that has been attracting attention is the titanium case with pink-gold bezel.

Its diameter is 41mm and a thickness of 16.8mm. The pink-gold bezel can be turned unidirectional and there are engravings as well as embossed scales on it for diving measurements.

It uses a curved sapphire crystal. The pink gold crown is screwed-down with case protection and is in-between two pink gold pushers positioned at 2 and 4. This watch has a water resistant up to 200 meters deep.

It runs on the BM 13750 caliber which is mechanical and automatic. It also has a COSC certification for its chronometer. The dial comes in slate gray in palladium finishing.

Its subdials are in anthracite and have pink-gold threading around its circumference. The baton markers and sword-shaped central hands are luminescent in pink-gold. There is also a printed minute track on its dial.

Its subdials are minute counter at 12, the hour counter at 6, and the small seconds at 9. The date display is located at 3. The strap used is leather with a double fold over safety clasp in titanium.

The other versions available would be the full titanium including the bezel. It uses a bracelet that is made of titanium and stainless steel. The dial is in dark gray and the subdials are also in anthracite.

There are also stainless steel and yellow-gold case versions that are priced much cheaper (about $1,000 lesser) than Capeland S Chronograph Titanium. The movement, functions, water resistance, and even designs are similar as the titanium version.
