Is the Clifton's case solid gold or gold plated?

The case is 18K pink gold, a solid precious-metal alloy, not plating. That is the main reason for its price and why it should be serviced by a watchmaker who handles gold cases.

Can I swim with the Baume & Mercier Clifton?

No. Its 50 m rating covers splashes, rain and hand washing only. The leather alligator strap and the dress-watch case are not built for pool or sea use.

What movement does it use?

It runs on an automatic self-winding mechanical movement, powered by wrist motion with no battery. If you do not wear it for a few days it will stop and need resetting and winding.

Can I change the strap myself?

Yes. The strap is self-interchangeable, so you can swap the alligator leather band for another without a trip to a watchmaker. Keep the original strap for resale value.

How does the 42 mm size wear?

At 42 mm wide and about 13 mm thick it is a mid-size dress watch that suits most wrists but sits fairly tall. Try it under a shirt cuff if you wear slim-fit sleeves.

About the Baume & Mercier Clifton Men's Watch

The Baume & Mercier Clifton is a men's dress watch with a 42 mm round case in 18K pink gold, an automatic self-winding movement and an alligator leather strap on a pin buckle. A sapphire crystal resists scratches, and 50 m water resistance covers hand washing and rain but not swimming.
