The Beverly Hills Polo Club BP3912X.380 is a men's automatic watch with a red dial and a stainless steel bracelet. Its 40 mm steel case holds a self-winding movement, so there is no battery to replace. The red dial brings a defined accent to business or formal wear.
The case and bracelet are both stainless steel, and the link bracelet can be shortened or lengthened by a jeweller for a closer fit. Ceramic sapphire-coated glass covers the dial, a surface built to cope with the scrapes of everyday wear. A butterfly buckle closes the bracelet with a push-button release and keeps the strap length where you set it. The Beverly Hills Polo Club BP3912X.380 men's automatic watch also carries a two-year international warranty.
The Beverly Hills Polo Club BP3912X.380 suits men who like mechanical watches and want one piece that carries them through the working day and into the evening. The red dial gives the watch character without shouting, and the steel bracelet takes the knocks of daily wear. It is also a sound choice for anyone buying a branded automatic watch as a gift, since the warranty and classic 40 mm size keep it easy to wear.
Less suitable if: you need a certified diver's watch, you prefer a leather or rubber strap, or you want a case larger than 40 mm.

Wear the watch often so the mainspring stays wound. If it has been off your wrist for more than 40 hours, give the crown 20 to 30 turns before you set the time. Wipe the steel bracelet with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry it fully. Keep the watch away from strong magnets, which can pull an automatic movement out of accuracy, and store it in a padded pouch when it is not being worn.
Four points decide most watch purchases: case size, movement, strap material and dial colour. The BP3912X.380 sits at 40 mm, which suits average to slimmer wrists and fits under a cuff. Its automatic movement removes batteries from the equation, though it needs wearing or winding to keep time. Stainless steel on both case and bracelet gives a durable, formal finish that resists sweat. The red dial is the deciding factor: subdued in low light, distinctive in daylight, and a step away from the usual black or blue face.
The case and bracelet are stainless steel, and the crystal is ceramic sapphire-coated glass. Both materials are chosen to resist corrosion and everyday scratches.
The case measures 40 mm in diameter. That is a classic men's size that clears most shirt cuffs.
Turn the crown clockwise about 20 to 30 times to wind the mainspring, then pull the crown out to set the hands. Push it back in to restart the watch.
A butterfly buckle with a push-button release holds the bracelet closed. Because the clasp sets the length, the strap stays at the same fit each time you put it on.
No water-resistance rating is given for this model, so keep it away from swimming, showers and washing up. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth instead of soaking it.
An automatic runs on a mechanical movement powered by wrist motion, while a quartz watch runs on a battery and an electronic oscillator. Quartz usually keeps tighter time; automatic watches appeal to people who like the mechanics.
It is made for men who want one automatic watch that works from the office through to the evening. The red dial and steel bracelet give it presence without being loud.
