Watch Review | Baume & Mercier

Baume & Mercier
The new Classima Executives Magnum XXL Chronograph Black PVD ,one of the stand outs from Baume & Mercier at 2010 SIHH . A stainless steel case coated in black PVD , a two level dial with stark indices and skeletonized hands, along with chronograph pushers that also protect the crown. Inside this sleek sports watch is a self winding ETA 7753 movement, that features Glucydur balance which oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 48 hours.

The Baume & Mercier Classima Executives collection doesn't come up short in size . At 44mm in diameters and 15.6 in height, along with a large open dial that seems to flow up to the edge of a narrow bezel, gives the timepiece a illusion of size . The dial is equipped with a rapidly adjustable date aperture and a small second sub dial, while the straight riveted " applique" rhodium plated hour indexes are a perfect fit to the skeletonized hour and minute hand. The amount of superluminova applied to the watch ensures readability in the dark .

Baume & Mercier has fit the Magnum XXL Chronograph Black PVD steel watch with a fluted screw down crown adorned with the Phi symbol to optimize protection of the movement against water, dust and other damaging elements. This guarantees water resistance of 200 meters, a debt perfectly suitable for divers . A screw down case back which features a triangular "porthole" with a sapphire exhibition window to show off the oscillating weight adorned with "Côtes de Genève" has also been included. The watch is fitted with a vulcanized rubber strap enhanced by a speed inspired 3 groove pattern for extra measure.
