Baume & Mercier presents a new Clifton Baumatic watch (reference M0A10713) in steel case with satin-polished rose gold (750/1000) bezel and a chocolate toned dial featuring gold-plated indexes and hands and sophisticated finishes.
Measuring 40 mm in diameter and a thickness of 11.3 mm, the watch also features a crown in gold-plated PVD steel and a scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal treated on both sides with an anti-glare coating. Fastened with four screws, the sapphire crystal case back may be customized with an engraving.
The visual depth of this timepiece is enhanced by the luminous dial in a chocolate tone with white crosshairs in the center. The multiple reflections and gradated hues of the dial – lighter in the center and darker along the edges – demonstrate the meticulous work in the color for which Baume & Mercier has always been renowned.
The hours, minutes, seconds, date and certified COSC chronometer indications are harmoniously arranged along the slightly elongated, gold-tone trapezoid riveted indexes which coordinate with the gold-plated facetted alpha-shaped hands; the enlarged aperture displays the date at 3 o’clock.
The self-winding Baumatic BM13-1975A COSC calibre powers this timepiece with reliability and precision. This movement is resistant to everyday magnetic fields up to 1,500 Gauss. With a great precision of -4/+6 seconds per day and a frequency of 4Hz (28,800 vph), this COSC-certified calibre offers remarkable autonomy thanks to its five-day (120-hour) power reserve.
Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, the movement reveals circle-grained bridges, a sandblasted and snailed baseplate, and an open-worked gold-plated oscillating weight adorned with snailed “Côtes de Genève” designs.
The interchangeable patinated brown calfskin strap may be detached and reattached in a single step without the need for tools thanks to a very reliable curved spring bar system. The triple folding buckle is crafted in stainless steel with security push-pieces.
