Description from the seller

Baume & Mercier Formula S Ref. MV04F023 – Automatic Chronograph – Steel – 1990s

Elegant and sporty Baume & Mercier Formula S, reference MV04F023, automatic chronograph from the 1990s, characterized by a dynamic line and a strong automotive-inspired design.

The case is steel, 38 mm in diameter excluding the crown, with a thickness of about 13 mm. The bezel features an engraved tachymeter scale, a distinctive element of sport chronographs, while the slate grey/black dial is enriched by three chronograph sub-dials with concentric decoration, applied indices and a date window at 3 o’clock.

The watch houses an automatic movement. It is functioning; the date changes correctly and the chronograph starts, stops, and resets as expected. Precision has been checked, while the last service is not known.

The case, bezel, case back and bracelet show normal signs of use compatible with the age of the watch, with no major defects to report. The dial is original and remains in excellent condition. The glass shows no evident scratches or cracks.

Original Baume & Mercier steel bracelet, with original clasp. Maximum wrist length: about 21 cm. No extra links are present.

The watch is accompanied by its original Baume & Mercier Formula S box, as visible in the photos; the box shows aging signs and is missing the inner cushioning. No guarantee, manuals, or documents are present.

Origin: private collection from Northern Italy.

A Baume & Mercier chronograph with a sporty yet refined design, interesting for collectors and enthusiasts of 1990s watches, with a strong aesthetic personality and a good balance between elegance and technical character.
