Baume et Mercier - Baume Ocean Limited Edition

Baume & Mercier is launching a new model in the Baume line. The Baume Ocean Limited Edition has a price of CHF 1,330.

Last June, we announced that the Baume brand had been integrated as a collection into the Baume et Mercier family.

Baume et Mercier is now launching a new model in this line, the Baume Ocean Limited Edition.   

Available in two colour versions, blue and green, this new Baume watch is created in collaboration with Waste Free Oceans (WFO) and Seaqual Initiative, two partners that combat against marine pollution by collecting plastic debris from the seas to transform them into useful products. This model symbolizes the Brand’s intention to establish an ecological ethic combining eco-responsibility and innovation.

Characterised by an off-center crown located at 12 o’clock and black anodized aluminium articulated horns, the 42 mm x 10.2 mm case is crafted using a recycled plastic cap produced by the NGO WFO, a partner of Baume. The case is then sheathed in black (ref. M0A10587) or green (ref. M0A10590) anodized aluminum. 

The cap is made up of 80% recycled plastic and reinforced with 20% glass fibers to increase its resistance. 

To craft the case of the Baume Ocean Limited Edition in recycled materials, Baume et Mercier worked in close collaboration with WFO, selecting the plastic debris from the ocean that offers the highest performance, durability, and quality.

Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the anthracite grained dial has various layers with blue or green hands.

Powered by a Swiss made self-winding mechanical movement (Sellita SW-200) beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with a power reserve of 38 hours, the Baume Ocean Limited Edition is water-resistant to 30 meters / 100 feet.

The new model is equipped with an interchangeable strap in a material called Seaqual Yarn, made with upcycled marine plastic and enhanced by blue or green overstitching.

The Baume Ocean Limited Edition has a price of CHF 1,330. Baume et Mercier is committed to donating 5% of its sales from this collection to the NGOs Waste Free Oceans and Seaqual Initiative in order to contribute to coordinated actions combating marine pollution. baume-et-mercier.com
