Beverly Hills Polo Club BP3742X.851 Black Silicone 40mm Men's Watch

The Beverly Hills Polo Club BP3742X.851 is a men's quartz watch with a 40 mm stainless steel case, a black dial and a fixed black silicone strap. Two-tone IP rose gold and black plating gives it a dressier look than a plain sports watch, while the multifunction movement keeps day, date and 24-hour readouts on the wrist.

A 40 mm case sits in the middle of the men's size range and is built to wear comfortably on wrists from 16 cm to 20 cm. The 10 ATM rating equals 100 metres of water resistance, so swimming and showering are both fine, though scuba diving and high-velocity water sports are not. Ceramic sapphire coated glass puts a hard ceramic layer over mineral crystal for better scratch resistance, and the butterfly clasp holds the strap flat under the wrist. The 26 mm lug width tapers to 20 mm at the buckle.

Key features and benefits of the Beverly Hills Polo Club BP3742X.851

• Water resistance: 10 ATM (100 metres): The case is sealed against splashes, showers and surface swimming. Snorkelling is covered, but scuba diving and high-velocity water sports such as jet skiing are not.
• Multifunction quartz movement: Sub-dials show the day of the week, the date and a 24-hour indicator. Quartz keeps time without winding, and the battery typically runs two to three years before a simple replacement.
• Ceramic sapphire coated glass: A thin ceramic layer sits over mineral crystal to resist scratching better than plain mineral glass. It is not as hard as a full-thickness synthetic sapphire crystal, which keeps the dial protected without the sapphire price tag.
• Fixed silicone strap: The band is moulded as one piece with the case lugs, leaving no gap for grit or moisture to collect. Silicone shrugs off sweat, water and UV light and stays flexible in heat or cold.
• Butterfly deployment clasp: Two push buttons release the clasp, which folds flat instead of leaving a loose strap end. The design spreads pressure evenly across the underside of the wrist.
• Two-tone plated case: A stainless steel base carries IP rose gold and IP black plating. Ion plating bonds the colour to the metal, so the finish holds up better than a painted coating.
• Black dial: White hands and markers stand out clearly against the dark background. The contrast makes the three sub-dials quick to read at a glance.
• 40 mm case diameter: The size suits wrists from 16 cm to 20 cm without looking oversized or dainty. It fits under a shirt cuff and still reads easily.
• 26 mm lug width, 20 mm buckle width: The band narrows toward the clasp, which improves ergonomics and keeps the buckle centred on the wrist.
• No diamond accents: The dial carries no gemstones, which keeps the watch subtle and appropriate for the workplace.

Who the Men's Watch is for

The BP3742X.851 suits men who want one watch for the office and the weekend. A quartz movement means no daily winding, the silicone strap tolerates moisture, and 10 ATM covers most contact with water short of diving. The two-tone case adds polish without the fragility of leather or the weight of a steel bracelet, and the black dial pairs easily with a belt and shoes.

• Weekday commuters who want a single watch to carry them from desk to dinner.
• Swimmers and snorkellers who need 100 metre water resistance without a chunky dive bezel.
• Anyone who dislikes leather bands that soak up sweat and hold odour.
• Gift buyers looking for a branded quartz watch for a birthday or anniversary.
• Minimalists who prefer a slim 40 mm profile and a dial without ornamentation.

Less suitable if: you want a mechanical movement, a full sapphire crystal rather than a ceramic coated one, or a metal bracelet for black-tie events.

Using and caring for the Beverly Hills Polo Club BP3742X.851

Rinse the watch in lukewarm fresh water after swimming, especially in salt water or a chlorinated pool, then dry it with a soft cloth. Wipe the glass with a microfibre cloth rather than paper towels or chemical cleaners, which can dull the ceramic coating. Press both clasp buttons together when opening the buckle so the hinge stays straight. Have the battery changed by a watchmaker who can pressure-test the case afterwards.

• Rinse the strap and case under lukewarm tap water after swimming or heavy perspiration.
• Clean the glass with a dry microfibre cloth only, with no solvents or paper towels.
• Press both release buttons at once to open the butterfly clasp, never one side alone.
• Keep the watch away from speakers, magnetic clasps and hot car dashboards.

How to choose the right Men's Watch

Four things decide whether a daily quartz watch works for you: case size against wrist circumference, band material against activity level, water rating against real water exposure, and dial complexity against readability. The BP3742X.851 uses a 40 mm case that fits wrists from 16 cm to 20 cm. Its fixed silicone band copes with moisture and temperature swings better than leather or fabric. The 10 ATM rating covers swimming and showering, while the multifunction layout adds day, date and 24-hour sub-dials without the clutter of a full chronograph.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Beverly Hills Polo Club BP3742X.851 made of?

The case is stainless steel with IP rose gold and IP black plating, and the band is black silicone. The glass is ceramic sapphire coated mineral crystal, which means a mineral crystal with a hard ceramic layer on top.

Can I swim with the BP3742X.851?

Yes. Its 10 ATM rating covers 100 metres, which is enough for showers, surface swimming and snorkelling. Scuba diving and high-velocity water sports sit outside that rating.

What do the sub-dials show?

The quartz multifunction movement drives three sub-dials for the day of the week, the date and a 24-hour indicator. All three are set through the crown rather than extra pushers on the case side.

Will a 40 mm case suit my wrist?

A 40 mm diameter is a middle-of-the-range men's size, listed as fitting wrists from 16 cm to 20 cm. The 26 mm lugs narrow to 20 mm at the buckle, which keeps the clasp centred underneath.

Can I change the strap?

No. The silicone band is fixed and moulded to the case lugs instead of fitting with quick-release pins. A watchmaker can shorten it at the lug end to adjust the fit, but it is not a swap-in strap.

How does the butterfly clasp open?

Press both push buttons on the sides of the clasp at the same time. Forcing one side alone can bend the hinge, and the deployment mechanism folds flat under the wrist when worn.

Does the watch have diamonds?

No, the BP3742X.851 has no diamond accents. The black dial and two-tone case carry the look on their own, which keeps it suitable for everyday office wear.

How does ceramic sapphire coating compare with sapphire crystal?

It is a thin ceramic layer over mineral crystal, harder and more scratch resistant than plain mineral glass. It does not match the hardness of a full-thickness synthetic sapphire crystal.
