The new Clifton Baumatic that were unveiled at the SIHH 2019 are available in an elegant array of refined materials and colours. Its round case is made of 18-carat pink gold or polished/satin-finished steel. Its clear display is topped by an anti-glare scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal for enhanced readability. The case back, attached with four screws, is also topped with a domed sapphire crystal.
The pink gold model features a “warm white” porcelain-type finish dial with gilt index and hands, contrasted by a black alligator strap; while the steel version reveals a gradated blue dial on an integrated steel bracelet or black alligator leather strap.
The dial is adorned with riveted faceted trapezoid-shaped index, slim alpha hands and an oversized date aperture located at 3 o'clock. Anthracite or white, depending on the model, the minute track and the central focal point symbolising COSC certification enhance this harmonious display.
The new Clifton Baumatic watches are equipped with the Baumatic BM13 calibre. This mechanical self-winding movement offers innovative features that are adapted to contemporary needs: 120-hour power reserve; antimagnetism - resistance to the magnetic fields encountered in daily life; chronometric accuracy, COSC-certified, with a variation of -4 to +6 seconds per day ; great reliability, with maintenance service every seven years only.
This modern movement features carefully crafted traditional finishes - circular graining, sandblasting, snailing or even Côtes de Genève - on the plate, bridges and on the open-worked steel- or gold-toned tungsten oscillating weight. The lyre shaped like the Phi character at the heart of the movement symbolises Baume & Mercier's balance, harmony of proportions and quest for perfection.
The alligator strap with pin buckle can be easily interchanged without any tools thanks to a clever spring bar system. The while the five-row bracelet in polished/satin-finished steel is secured by a triple folding clasp with push-pieces.
These Clifton Baumatic models will be available in stores in Octobre 2019.
