Baume & Mercier - Baume & Mercier Shogun Ref. 5136.018.3 (with Box), Year 1990's
The Shogun
We don't know what the Baume et Mercier Design Team smoked when they came up with this design but whatever it was, we want some of it too. The brand is known for conservative, classic and conventional designs and I have no clue how they came up with this futuristic piece of art.
The watch bears a case diameter of a 34mm with a vertically stepped design that is continued on the integrated bracelet closing down with a butterfly folding clasp. The movement is Quartz showing that the focus was on the case and bracelet design.
The off-white dial bears golden baton indexes and hands, features the emblem of ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and caption '10 Years of Service'. There is some visible aging on the dial, especially on the upper side and center post.
The watch comes with its original box and extra link (missing the pin)
