The violet sun-satin dial evokes reflections on the water at daybreak by taking on the deep, mysterious hue of the dawning day. Decorated with fine transparent transfer waves, it showcases a remarkable play on color that increases its tone and heightens its energy through the use of light and relief. It immediately captures and captivates the eye. Roman numerals, riveted indexes coated in Superluminova (C1, blue glow), and faceted rhodium-plated hands bring further impact to the dial.
The Phi logo is stamped in relief to adorn the free octagonal crown, a reminder that Baume & Mercier chose the Greek letter as an emblem – a reference to the golden ratio – in an allusion to the precious lines and attention to detail that are so central to the Brand. The hours and minutes tick smoothly away, driven by a quartz movement with a ten-year autonomy, while the date appears in an aperture at 3 o’clock. The watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (approx. 50m).
In a 33-mm diameter with a thickness of 9.6 mm, the case harmoniously nestles against the arm, enhancing every gesture with elegance and ethereality.
