Hi everyone,

I’ve got a Baume & Mercier I can’t pin down in any catalog, and I’m hoping someone here can help identify it.

Material: solid silver, hallmarked 0.800 (confirmed on the caseback - not steel or plated)

Manual wind movement, don’t know exactly what movement it is.

I can’t find a matching reference anywhere - I know B&M had well-documented lines like the Riviera or Baumatic, but this particular piece doesn’t carry any model name on the dial or caseback, just “Baume & Mercier Genève” and the silver hallmark.

Does anyone know if this belongs to a specific line from the 70s-80s, or if it’s an unnamed piece from their general “Genève” catalog of that era? Any pointers on approximate year or reference number would be hugely appreciated too.

Attaching photos of the front, side profile, and caseback. Thanks in advance!

I would look for a similar case. This dial has been redone. The font is not centered. Something you would not find on an original dial.
