Today's offering showcases this handsome and classic Baume & Mercier mens Classima Executive watch in mint original condition.

Elegant and sophisticated with sleek lines this discontinued Baume & Mercier Classima Executive watch embodies the classic men's luxury dress watch from the era.

Its size is closer to a mens midsize watch making it well-suited for anyone with smaller wrists. It is an ultra-thin model - the complete watch with crystal measures a mere 3.9mm thick!

With its slender case and classic and clean white Roman dial (face), it exudes timeless class. Powering the watch is a Swiss-made Baume & Mercier quartz movement that never needs to be wound.

The watch has 100% original parts and even comes with its original buckle and presents as mint condition. It presents as a 9.5 out of 10.

Its ultra thin 18K gold case presents as mint with light signs of previous polishing. Its dial and sapphire crystal are original and perfect.

A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing and installed a new battery.

For the finishing touch it comes equipped with a new strap in a similar style to the original and the watch's original buckle, and we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
