42mm stainless steel case with sandblasted titanium bezel, automatic movement with date function, grey dial, grey rubber strap.
Sporty, dressy, casual, this Riviera is a multifaceted timepiece that will please many personalities. Equipped by a "swiss-made" automatic movement, the combination of its steel case, sandblasted titanium bezel and gilt ring brings boldness to this timepiece. The perfect choice for people looking for versatility.
The Riviera is back again in subtly grayish hues, with a variation on the “Swiss-made” 42 mm automatic Riviera with a steel case and a slate-grey dial on an interchangeable grey rubber strap. The sand-blasted titanium bezel, fastened to the case with four functional screws, brings this contemporary piece a stealthy, driven look. A distinctive look reinforced by a gold-plated PVD ring, which provides luminosity in a perfect juxtaposition of the matte hue of the bezel and strap. There’s no mistaking its sporty pedigree. It is subtly softened by a dial in a beautifully lacquered “slate” hue, highlighted by tone-on-tone “wave” decorations, as well as Roman numerals and indexes.
Some watches stand the test of time. The Riviera is one of those. When it was launched in 1973, Baume & Mercier chose to present a powerful, unique, different and distinctive watch. At a time when the watchmaking industry could afford to do almost anything, the Riviera broke with traditional codes.
