Alongside the Clifton Baumatic Perpetual Calendar 40mm, Baume & Mercier has also introduced a more essential, time-and-date iteration in the same ice-blue execution: the Clifton Baumatic 39mm.
Housed in a compact stainless steel case powered by the manufacture’s five-day Baumatic movement, the model emphasizes the collection’s refined proportions, finishing, and everyday functionality.
The 39 mm case measures 11.22 mm in thickness and combines polished and satin-finished surfaces with a domed sapphire crystal treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides.
The integrated crown follows the profile of the case, while the sapphire crystal case back is secured by four screws and bears a dedicated “Limited Edition” engraving. Water resistance is rated to 50 metres / 165 feet.
The ice-blue dial shares the same guilloché treatment found on the perpetual calendar model, but its simpler layout gives the pattern greater visual prominence.
A black crosshair marks the centre, while the snailed minute track is framed by rhodium-plated trapezoidal indexes and slightly elongated Arabic numerals at 12 o’clock.
Faceted alpha-shaped hour and minute hands and a rhodium-plated seconds hand complete the display, with a tone-on-tone date indication positioned at 6 o’clock.
Inside is the manufacture self-winding Baumatic calibre BM13-1975 A. Measuring 4.2 mm in thickness, the movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), contains 21 jewels, and provides a power reserve of 120 hours.
Its decoration includes circular-grained bridges, a sandblasted plate with snailed decoration, and an open-worked oscillating weight adorned with Côtes de Genève and snailed finishes. Dedicated Baume & Mercier engravings complete the movement, which is visible through the sapphire case back.
The Clifton Baumatic 39mm is fitted with an integrated three-row stainless steel bracelet combining polished and satin-finished surfaces. Its interchangeable-bar system allows the bracelet to be removed without tools, secured by a triple-folding stainless steel buckle with security push-pieces.
The Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic 39mm, reference M0A10870, is priced at €3,700. baume-et-mercier.com
