Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

Without a doubt my most beautiful dresswatch! Gift for my 30th birthday. This is a model that caught my eye as soon as it was announced at the SIHH in January 2019. 10 months later, my desire for this watch being intact, it was my birthday present, in its configuration with steel bracelet, which I recommend for any purchase of a watch because it will then be less expensive to get a leather strap than just the original steel strap. I fell in love with the version with the blue dial, especially since it is playful if you like dials that have a different rendering depending on the light around you. Sometimes blue, sometimes almost black as the blue will be dark and deep. The dial is readable, the applied indexes are very effective, the date is, I think, well integrated and discreet. This is a model certified as a chronometer by the COSC so it has excellent daily precision. What is craziest about this watch if you like performance is its Baumatic caliber which provides an impressive power reserve at these prices, 120 hours, or 5 days. I love taking it off on Sunday evening and finding it on the weekend still running. In addition, the transparent case back is justified by the beauty of the movement, decorated with Geneva stripes but also hallmarked... If the steel bracelet is not suitable, you can put it on a leather or nato strap. Be careful though because you will absolutely need a bracelet with curved springs otherwise you will not be able to put it on.
