Baume & Mercier Classima Executives XL Chronograph Calendar
December 23, 2009
The new male chronograph Classima Executives XL Chronograph Calendar by Baume & Mercier has replenished the classicak collection of the brand.
The new Baume & Mercier watch is powered by a Swiss ETA movement calibre Valjoux 7751. Among the complications there are chronograph and complete calendar with the moon phase indication. The rotor of the movement is decorated with the Cotes de Geneve pattern while the screws are crafted from blued steel. The case back of the new timepiece is equipped with a see-through aperture protected with sapphire crystal.
The new Baume & Mercier watch is housed by a 42-mm polished steel case. The silvery dial is guilloched in Grain d’orge style. One of the eye-catching elements of the dial is the date hand made of 18K rose gold.
The elegant chronograph will certainly be appreciated by lovers of classics especially if take into account all the useful functions of the new chronograph.
The timepiece is notable for the complete calendar shown at the dial. Some specialists believe that complete calendar is more useful that the prestigious perpetual calendar. But as five months of the year consist of 30 days the owner of the watch will have to manually correct the date (the date indices are placed at the outer edge of the dial).
At 6 o’clock there is the moon phase indicator while at 12 o’clock there is the 30-seconds chronograph counter. At the same place there is the day and month aperture. 9 o’clock shows the 24-hours counter. The dial is protected with sapphire crystal. Water resistance is 30 meters.
The new Baume & Mercier watch is accompanied with a black alligator leather strap.
