Living up to its Malibu name, it is both sporty and elegant. Its luxurious solid 18K gold bezel is indexed with minute hashes with a subtle engraving that isn't blackened - which we really like - dressing up the watch.
It straddles the line between a dress watch and a sports watch much in the same way as the Rolex Yachtmaster, and like the Yachtmaster has a water-resistant style design with both screwed down back and crown.
Baume and Mercier gave the Malibu watches several different dials, and we like this one best. With its white dial and 18K gold baton indices, it is particularly elegant and classy.
It is all original and in gorgeous condition. On the wrist it looks essentially like new. The case presents as mint. The dial has the slightest bit of rub from the bezel at the extreme sides, only noticeable under magnification. The crystal is mint. Its bracelet is also mint with no stretch.
A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing and installed a new battery making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
