Here is a wonderful, all original Baume & Mercier ultra-slim dress watch from 1974. The navy blue dial is in fine condition, with a white print Baume & Mercier logo and steel strip hour markers. There are a few marks around the dial, most notable at around the 7 o’clock hour marker. The baton hands are in fine condition with a few marks of wear. Note that this watch does not have a seconds hand, in order to keep the profile ultra-slim.

The stainless steel bezel is in fine condition with some overall wear, perhaps most pronounced at around 8 o’clock. The stainless steel case with straight lugs and the original blue cabochon crown is in very fine condition with some overall wear, mostly at the lugs but also a mark on the left case side. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition, with a brushed finish and a few notable scratches. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.
The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.
