43 mm dialGold accents
Black and gold form one of watchmaking's most elegant duos, and La Mercure – Gold Edition executes this with great precision. With its black strap and remarkable black dial, it sets you apart from the crowd at first glance. Standing out against this dark background are three gold subdials—true luminous medallions—surrounded by long gold indices and matching hands. The crown and pushers feature the same hue, providing a subtle callback on the side of the black case. A date window completes the look with discretion. The dial measures 43 mm, a bold yet comfortable format. The flexible and breathable black mesh bracelet measures 24 cm and is adjustable, with a width of 2 cm; it is interchangeable and fastens with a sliding hook clasp. Of all the La Mercure editions, the Gold is the dressiest: it naturally pairs with a white shirt, a tuxedo, or formal wear, without sacrificing true modernity.
The finishes
A black dial enhanced with gold
On the Gold edition, the golden color is used like a piece of jewelry: never applied flat across the entire case, but in precise touches. The three subdials form golden discs with delicate relief, the indices and hands draw lines of light, and the crown and pushers reflect the shade on the side.
This dosage allows you to enjoy the shine of gold without ostentation. The black of the case, dial, and mesh serves as a setting, making every gold detail stand out, even in dim light.

Mastered radiance
The Gold edition was designed for those who love gold but refuse excess. Black dominates, gold punctuates: it is this balance that gives it its look, which is both dressy and contemporary.
The black mesh of the strap extends from the case without interruption, further highlighting the gold crown. A watch for an evening out, a ceremony, or an important meeting, which also wears very well for daily life.
The three gold subdials, arranged in a triangle around the center, structure the dial like a small constellation. They catch the light differently depending on the angle, giving the black dial a depth you rediscover with every glance.

Style tip: for a cohesive look, match your Mercure Gold with other gold touches: cufflinks, a belt buckle, or eyeglass frames. With an entirely black outfit, it becomes the bright focal point of your silhouette.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Gold and Full Black editions?
Both editions share the same black case, the same 43 mm black dial, and the same interchangeable black mesh bracelet. The difference lies in the details. On the Gold edition, the three subdials, indices, hands, crown, and pushers are gold, for a chic and dressy look. On the Full Black edition, everything remains black and only the second hand and subdials are highlighted in red, for a more urban and sporty look. Choose according to your outfits and occasions.
How do I care for the gold finishes?
The gold touches on La Mercure Gold—on the subdials, indices, hands, crown, and pushers—deserve a little care to maintain their shine. After each wear, wipe the case and crystal with a dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and sweat. Avoid contact with perfume, creams, hydroalcoholic gels, and household products, which can tarnish the finishes over time. Finally, store the watch flat in a box or pouch, away from humidity and objects that might scratch it.
What is the size of the watch?
La Mercure Gold features a 43 mm dial. This diameter gives it a strong presence, ideal for showcasing the gold subdials, while remaining comfortable on most wrists. The mesh bracelet measures 24 cm and is adjustable with a 2 cm width. Thanks to its sliding clasp, it adjusts very precisely, fitting both slim and large wrists. In our range, La Mercure sits between the 42 mm and 45 mm models.
How do I adjust the mesh bracelet?
The metal mesh bracelet can be adjusted without tools using its hook clasp. Open the clasp, slide it along the mesh to the desired length, then close it by pressing firmly to lock it. The adjustment is continuous: you are not limited to pre-defined holes, allowing for a perfect fit. Be sure to leave a finger's width of comfort between the mesh and your wrist for comfortable all-day wear, even in warm weather.
Can I change the strap?
Yes, the strap of La Mercure Gold is interchangeable. You can replace the original black mesh with any 2 cm wide strap compatible with the case lugs. A black leather strap will accentuate the watch's dressy character, while a brown leather one will warm up the gold accents. The change is made at the case lugs. If you have never performed this operation, a watchmaker can do it in minutes, or we can advise you on how to proceed.
Can I wear the watch in the shower or for sports?
No, we do not recommend it. Do not wear your watch during sports or in the shower: water, steam, soap, and sweat can damage it and tarnish the gold finishes. Remove it before these activities and store it in a dry place. If it gets wet by accident, wipe it carefully with a soft, dry cloth, including the mesh. These simple steps will preserve the luster of the black and gold contrast that gives it its charm and uniqueness, year after year.
What outfits can I wear La Mercure Gold with?
La Mercure Gold is the dressiest of the three editions. It ideally complements a dark suit, a white shirt, a tuxedo, or formal wear. With an entirely black outfit, its gold subdials become the luminous focal point of your look. For a harmonious ensemble, reflect the gold with cufflinks, a belt buckle, or gold-toned eyeglass frames. It remains very comfortable for daily wear, however, with raw denim, a black turtleneck, and a dark jacket.
