Clifton Baumatic 10692 Watch

The Watch

The Baume & Mercier story began in 1830 when brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume opened a watchmaking counter in Les Bois in the Swiss Jura. Combining cutting-edge technology with modern design, the Maison has never stopped crafting refined, trend-forward timepieces with an authentic character. Ocarat is proud to present the Clifton Baumatic 10692, a retro-classic watch that checks every box and looks stunning on any occasion. Poised between elegance and subtlety, it delivers a remarkable presence that pairs effortlessly with any outfit, from dressed-up to casual. Its round case is crafted in satin-finished stainless steel for brilliance and durability in all circumstances. It measures 40 mm in diameter and 11.30 mm thick - a perfect fit for men's wrists. A sapphire crystal sits above the dial, shielding it from everyday shocks. True to watchmaking tradition, a crown at 3 o'clock lets you set the hours, minutes, and date at any time. On the reverse, a caseback secured by 4 screws ensures water resistance to 5 ATM. Transparent, it also gives you a front-row view of the mesmerizing movement within.

The Dial

Elegantly restrained, a round dial fits perfectly within the case, enhancing the timeless charm of this timepiece. With a matte finish and a lacquered black color, it will elevate your wrist and become the defining detail of a stylish, modern man. A white bullseye at the center is swept by two alpha hands and a slender seconds hand. Faceted and rhodium-plated, all three indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds. The outer edge features a minute track graduated with white markers and Arabic numerals every 5 minutes. The hours are marked by riveted, rhodium-plated trapezoidal indices, slightly elongated. The 3 o'clock index shares its position with a date window for added convenience. Finally, the brand signs the dial with its name and logo at 12 o'clock, and inscribes "Swiss Made," "Baumatic," and the power reserve indication at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Recognized as one of the most reliable and efficient movements available, the in-house Baumatic BM13-1975A caliber powers this timepiece with confidence. This automatic movement features 21 jewels and runs at a frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 vph, ensuring precise, unfailing readout of hours, minutes, seconds, and the date. Its power reserve delivers an impressive autonomy of approximately 5 days.

The Strap

This watch is fitted with a beautifully balanced strap that brings out its classic character with a refined, modern touch. Comfortable to wear, it is crafted in black alligator leather and features delicate topstitching that complements any outfit with effortless style. It delivers an exceptionally soft, luxurious feel against the skin and gracefully follows the contours of a man's wrist. The pin buckle makes putting it on and taking it off a seamless, no-fuss experience.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It is designed to be strikingly beautiful and turn heads in any setting - yet that refined character doesn't come at the cost of durability. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over the long term. Swimming and scuba diving, however, are strongly discouraged, as exposure to such conditions may damage the watch and result in costly repairs.
