Below are photos of the three models for which the brand has released information. The two steel-case models (Ref. MOA 10052 with satin-finished silver-colored dial and Ref. MOA 10053 with satin-finished black dial) contain an automatic Sellita SW260-1 movement that has been decorated with circular graining on the bridges and snailed pattern on the rotor. In addition to hours and minutes, these models have a small seconds subdial and date indication. Both have 41-mm cases and power reserves of 38 hours.
The Clifton model in the rose-gold case (Ref. MOA 10060) is powered by a different movement, a manual-winding La Joux-Perret 7381 with a double barrel and 90-hour power reserve. This movement’s decorations include circular graining, cotes de Geneve, and blued steel screws. The small-seconds hand is also in blued steel. The dial is domed and opaline silver-colored. The case is also slightly larger than those of the steel models, at 42 mm.

Dear Mark, thanks for your informative reporting. The one on Baume & Mercier’s most recent flyback chronograph was interesting; yet, I’d like something a bit more expansive in regard to how this particular flyback rates against former B & M flybacks such as the Hampton Spirit with the DD31030 caliber approximately 8 years ago, or others that you regard as useful information. Also, Baume & Mercier’s pedigree in the history of fine watchmaking is quite distinctive; yet, despite having wonderful calibers such as La Joux-Perret in their watches, is there any indication that they will be developing an in-house movement any time soon? They certainly owe it to themselves and to their fans. Sincerely, Charles Rizzuto
