Baume & Mercier are about to release two new out sized models from their Classima Executives collection. The Classima Executives Magnum XXL Chronograph with a steel case and the same model again but with a black PVD steel case (pictured here to the left) are the two new 44 mm diameter case watches to join this classic and timeless collection of distinctive timepieces.

Both models have Baume & Mercier’s recently created fluted case in satin-finished and sand-blasted steel, a case that is accentuated by profiled push-pieces; for the black model the steel case is PVD coated. The screw-down case-back allows the watch to be water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters. Both models have a black dial with appliqué rhodium-plated hour-markers that have been coated with Superluminova and have hollowed luminescent hands that allow for perfect readability in the dark.

This new XXL chronograph is driven by a mechanical self-winding movement. A date calendar is situated at 6 o’clock, a minutes sub dial at 3 o’clock, and a small seconds sub dial at 9 o’clock.

As a final touch, the fluted screw-down crown bears the Baume & Mercier logo – the emblematic Phi symbol.

These two outstanding new Classisma Executives Magnum XXL Chronographs will be available next month from authorised dealers of Baume & Mercier watches.

In June last year four new Baume & Mercier watches were added to their Classima Executives collection. The new models were all-steel variations with polished/brushed-satin bracelets that complemented previous models in the collection, which were available exclusively with alligator leather straps.

To see in a new year, and a new decade, Baume & Mercier have added yet another model to their prestigious Classima Executives collection, the Classima Executives XL chronograph with complete calendar.

In keeping with the style of the Executives collection, this chronograph is traditionally finished, and is equipped with a high-end mechanical self-winding movement driving indications of a complete calendar. The date is displayed with central pointer in 18-carat red gold, the day and month can be seen through a window that is located at 12 o’clock, and a window indicating the phases of the moon is located at 6 o’clock. There is also a 24h indicator located at 9 o’clock.

To the front, the silver-coloured dial has a grain d’orge guilloché decoration, with circular snailed and sun satin-finished counters. To the back, the case-back reveals an oscillating weight and the engraved words ‘Côtes de Genève’.

The Baume & Mercier emblem, the Greek letter Phi, typically appears as the brand’s signature on the crown.

Baume & Mercier’s Classima Executive collection, the classic round timepiece with its understated style and elegance, has come to represent the brand’s signature of watch-making know-how. Watches in the Classima Executive collection, as with other Baume & Mercier watches are available from The Watch Gallery, London.
