Is the 39mm case too small for a men's watch?

No. 39mm is a classic dress-watch size that suits most wrists and slips under a cuff. It wears larger than the number suggests because the dial is open and the bezel is thin.

What movement does the Clifton 39mm use?

It uses a Swiss automatic movement with a date and roughly a 38-hour power reserve. It is visible through the exhibition caseback.

Only for splashes. The watch has limited water resistance and a leather strap, so take it off before swimming or showering.

Does it come with a bracelet?

This reference comes on a leather strap. A steel bracelet is not part of this configuration, so plan on strap changes if you want one.

How does it compare with a Longines Flagship or Tissot Gentleman?

All three are Swiss automatics in a similar class. The Clifton is the dressiest and quietest on the dial; the Gentleman offers more everyday versatility and the Flagship a longer heritage.

Is it a good first automatic watch?

Yes, if you want a dress watch. It is simple to wear, legible and understated, with no complications beyond the date.

About the Baume & Mercier Men's Clifton Automatic 39mm Watch m0a10792

The Clifton Automatic 39mm is Baume & Mercier's dress watch for people who want a slim, understated Swiss automatic without a luxury markup. The 39mm steel case, domed sapphire crystal and clean dial with applied indexes sit close to the wrist and slip under a cuff. It runs a Sellita-based automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve and a date window, and comes on a leather strap. Against rivals like the Tissot Gentleman or Longines Flagship it trades brand prestige for a quieter, classic look at a similar level of finish.
