Baume & Mercier has introduced four new additions to its Riviera collection, each celebrating the vibrant colors and natural landscapes of the French Riviera. Known for blending elegance and sporty chic, these models draw inspiration from the region’s scenery, including greenery, rocky terrain, and the sea. Since 1973, the Riviera has embodied the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, and these new designs continue that legacy with a focus on color and style.
The Chromatic Essence of the French Riviera
The new Riviera models evoke the Mediterranean’s natural beauty through their carefully chosen colors. The Riviera M0A10770 and M0A10763 feature green dials reminiscent of the pine forests along the coast, while the Riviera M0A10764 showcases a terracotta dial, mirroring the volcanic rocks of the Esterel Massif. Meanwhile, the deep blue dial of the Riviera M0A10768 captures the mysterious depths of the sea.
Meticulous craftsmanship ensures that each dial reflects the natural landscape. The wave decorations enhance the colors and textures, creating a sense of movement and light. As a result, these watches stand as a tribute to the elegant yet dynamic spirit of the French Riviera.
A Legacy of Sport-Chic Design
Since its debut in 1973, the Riviera collection has been a pioneer in sports elegance. It was among the first sports watches crafted from steel, challenging the gold-dominated trends of the time. Over the years, the Riviera has evolved, blending athleticism with refined aesthetics. The latest models uphold this tradition, offering both masculine and unisex designs that suit various tastes.
The Riviera M0A10770 and M0A10764 showcase elegant finishes with sun-satin lacquered sapphire dials and polished stainless steel bezels. Powered by Baume & Mercier’s self-winding Baumatic movement, these models provide excellent precision and durability. On the other hand, the Riviera M0A10763 and M0A10768 emphasize a sporty look with sandblasted ADLC-coated steel bezels and rubber straps.
Riviera M0A10770: Green Dial Inspired by Coastal Pines
The Riviera M0A10770 stands out with its smoked green sapphire dial, inspired by the lush pine groves that line the French Riviera. Gold-tone Roman numerals, riveted indexes, and Superluminova-coated hands ensure clear readability. The transparent wave decor adds depth, while the dodecagonal case back, featuring a sapphire crystal, reveals the Baumatic movement. The 39mm satin-polished stainless steel case protects the movement and ensures water resistance to 10 ATM.
Riviera M0A10764: Terracotta Dial Reflecting the Esterel Massif
The Riviera M0A10764 captures the essence of the Esterel Massif’s rocky landscape with a terracotta dial. The lacquered sun-satin finish adds a rich texture, while rhodium-plated hands and indexes, coated with Superluminova, enhance visibility. This unisex model, measuring 36mm, combines elegance with practicality. A self-winding movement powers the watch, providing a 38-hour power reserve and water resistance of up to 5 ATM.
Riviera M0A10763: Dark Green Dial Evoking Mediterranean Foliage
The Riviera M0A10763 features a deep green dial, inspired by Mediterranean foliage. Its 42mm stainless steel case and sandblasted ADLC-coated steel bezel create a sporty yet refined look. The sun-satin finish on the dial, along with the wave decor, reflects the region’s natural beauty. Powered by a self-winding movement, this watch offers a 38-hour power reserve and is water-resistant to 10 ATM.
Riviera M0A10768: Deep Blue Dial Inspired by the Sea
The Riviera M0A10768 invites wearers to explore the depths of the sea with its dark blue lacquered dial. The wave decor adds a sense of fluidity, while rhodium-plated hands and Roman numerals provide legibility. The 42mm case is crafted from polished stainless steel, and the sandblasted ADLC-coated steel bezel adds a bold touch. This model is powered by a self-winding movement, offering a 38-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 10 ATM.
