NEW Baume & Mercier 42mm Capeland Steel Black Dial Automatic Men’s Watch MOA10001 Full Set

A Gentleman’s Chronograph With the Soul of a Vintage Instrument

The Baume & Mercier Capeland MOA10001 is the kind of timepiece that whispers luxury rather than shouting it — the mark of a watch built for collectors who appreciate refinement, heritage, and mechanical integrity. This 42 mm chronograph blends Swiss precision with a design language inspired by 1940s timing instruments, creating a piece that feels both timeless and unmistakably upscale.

From the moment it hits the wrist, the Capeland exudes quiet authority. The deep black dial, curved like an old‑world marine gauge, is framed by a polished steel case that catches light with a soft, liquid sheen. The silver‑tone Arabic numerals and hands glow subtly, giving the watch a warm, vintage‑luxury presence that stands apart from the cold, clinical look of modern chronographs.

At its heart beats the ETA 7753‑based automatic movement — a workhorse revered by watchmakers for its reliability, serviceability, and smooth chronograph engagement. Collectors know this movement well: it’s the kind of caliber that stays with you for decades, aging gracefully and performing with unwavering consistency.

The dial layout is pure Capeland:

• 30‑minute counter at 3 o’clock
• 12‑hour counter at 6 o’clock
• Small seconds at 9 o’clock
• Telemeter and tachymeter scales that evoke vintage rally timers

And then there’s the detail that collectors love — the quick‑set date pusher at 10 o’clock, a signature flourish that instantly identifies the reference to those in the know.

The watch sits on a rich black leather strap, stitched with the kind of precision that reminds you Baume & Mercier has been doing this since 1830. On the wrist, it feels balanced, confident, and unmistakably premium.

This is not a mass‑market chronograph. It’s a piece for someone who values heritage, mechanical honesty, and the kind of understated luxury that only seasoned collectors truly appreciate. The Capeland MOA10001 doesn’t try to be loud — it simply is refined. And that’s exactly why it stands out.
