Baume et Mercier is making a stab at the higher end market with a new addition to the lineup – The Classima 8690 in a limited edition of 176 peices.
This watch is cased in rose gold with an exhibition caseback showing the modified dubois-depraz movement. It is an ETA base, and looks to be similar to the Breitling for Bentley Flying B. I wonder if its the same modified base movement? This is a nice upscale jump for B&M and is the right direction for the company.
Buckle and Case are all 18kt Rose Gold, Strap is Crocodile. Sunray black dial with Superluminova Hands. Water Resistant to 30M. Case Diameter is 39mm.
