Baume & Mercier Classima Chronographs 10782, 10783, 10784

Presented at Watches and Wonders 2024, the new Baume & Mercier Classima Chronographs 10782, 10783, 10784 have prices of € 3,300

Expressing understated and contemporary elegance in the respect of traditional Swiss watchmaking values, the Classima Collection by Baume & Mercier expands with the release of three new chronographs, the Classima Chronographs ref. 10782, 10783, and 10784.

The classic aesthetic of these new models is showcased by a round case in polished stainless steel measuring 42 mm x 13.2 mm  and water resistant to 50 metres / 165 feet. Dials are protected by a scratch-proof domed sapphire crystal.

Two push-pieces, located at 2 and 4 o’clock, control the chronograph functions: one starts and stops the time interval activation, while the other resets the counters. 

All models are driven by a Valjoux 7750-based self-winding movement, powering hours, minutes, small seconds at 9 o'clock, day of the week and date at 3 o'clock, central chronograph seconds, and chronograph 30 minutes and 12 hours at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, respectively. 

Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with a power reserve of 48 hours, this highly reliable chronograph movement is displayed through the transparent sapphire crystal case back. 

The Classima Chronograph 10782 features a sun-satin sand-coloured dial with snailed counters for the chronograph and small seconds. Anthracite counters at 12 and 6 o’clock reflect the colour of the flange while the riveted indexes – like the leaf-shaped hour, minute, and small seconds hands – are crafted in ruthenium. 

The leaf-shaped hour and minute hands of the chronograph, like the seconds hand, are rhodium-plated. The minute track is also white-tipped for enhanced legibility, along with the small seconds hand of the chronometer.

It is paired with an interchangeable strap in sand-coloured nubuck calfskin with tone-on-tone overstitching. 

The Classima Chronograph 10783 combines a sun-satin green dial with a slate-coloured flange and slate-coloured snailed counters for the chronograph and small seconds. The leaf-shaped hour, minute, and small seconds hands are crafted in ruthenium, as are the hour and minute hands of the chronometer.

The brownish-gray tone of the nubuck calfskin, featuring tone-on-tone overstitching, highlights the green and slate hues of the dial. 

Finally, the Classima Chronograph 10784 comes with a sun satin-finished lacquered blue dial with flange and snailed counters. The 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counters are highlighted by a gilded ring harmonising with the golden riveted indexes, leaf-shaped hands, and minute track.

This model is mounted on an elegant blue alligator strap with all-square scales and tone-on-tone overstitching.  

All straps are equipped with a stainless steel double folding clasp featuring security push-pieces. 

The new Baume & Mercier Classima Chronographs 10782, 10783, and 10784 have a suggested retail price of Euro 3,300 / US$ 3,200. baume-et-mercier.com
