Baume & Mercier Clifton Blue, Stamped Dial 39mm Men M0A10870

Epitomizing modern Swiss manufacture horology, chronometric excellence, and contemporary sports-dress versatility, the Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic 39mm Limited Edition M0A10870 represents an extraordinary technical achievement from the historic watchmaking Maison of Les Bois and Geneva. Sized in a universally proportioned 39.00 mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case measuring 11.22 mm in thickness with a 20 mm lug width, this timepiece balances alternating vertical satin-brushed flanks with mirror-polished beveled edges and curved lugs designed for ergonomic wrist comfort. The dial showcases a captivating glacier/ice-blue lacquered stamped guilloché finish that shifts in tone from pale arctic frost to vivid metallic cyan. Framed by a circular sunburst outer minute track, the face is appointed with rhodium-plated riveted trapezoidal indices, an applied Arabic numeral at 12 o'clock, faceted alpha-style hands, and a beveled date window at 3 o'clock beneath an anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal. Visible through the exhibition sapphire crystal case back is the prestigious in-house Manufacture Baumatic Calibre BM13-1975A. Engineered with high-tech silicon hairspring technology, it delivers chronometric accuracy, enhanced magnetic resistance up to 1,500 Gauss, and a remarkable 120-hour (5-day) power reserve. Fitted with an articulated 3-row satin-polished stainless steel bracelet featuring a tool-free quick-release interchangeability system and a triple-folding clasp with security pushers, it is pressure-tested for 50 metres (5 bar / 5 ATM) of water resistance and backed by Baume & Mercier’s official 2-year international warranty (extendable to 8 years upon registration).

Design & Craftsmanship

Modern Swiss Manufacture Heritage & The 39mm Steel Case

The Clifton collection represents Baume & Mercier’s flagship pillar of contemporary mechanical horology, bridging mid-century 1950s golden-age styling with cutting-edge movement engineering. Sized at a tailored 39.00 mm diameter with an 11.22 mm height, reference M0A10870 offers balanced proportions suited to diverse wrist sizes. Forged from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the case features polished beveled edges that contrast with vertical satin-brushed flanks. On the reverse side, an exhibition sapphire crystal case back reveals the rhodium-plated oscillating weight, perlage circular graining, and Geneva striping. The fluted winding crown is embossed with the Greek letter Phi (Φ)—the horological symbol of the Golden Ratio and balanced proportions.
