39mm stainless steel case, in-house Baumatic COSC Certified Chronometer movement, titanium bezel, see through sapphire crystal grey dial, grey rubber strap.
Driven by the prestigious Baumatic manufacture calibre, the Riviera 10720 is the all-road Swiss timepiece by excellence. Its transparent smokey grey sapphire dial, steel case, sandblasted titanium bezel and gilded steel ring brings boldness to this timepiece, and complete his sporty look.
For its 50th anniversary, the Riviera is back once again in 2023 with three unprecedented 39-mm versions. Each one features that distinctive dodecagonal shape with twelve sides and four screws. Each continues to convey a perennially fashionable sport-chic allure. Each one is powered by the Baumatic manufacture movement, which has demonstrated its performance since it was launched in 2017, and which may be admired through the smoked sapphire dial so symbolic of the Riviera Baumatic. The original design is still there, but the desire to adapt to our times is clear. As the latest additions to the Riviera collection, these three new 39-mm variations carry the evocative power of the original 1973 model in their DNA.
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.
Key Features
-THE ICONIC TWELVE-SIDED BEZEL WITH FOUR SCREWS
Known for its twelve-sided bezel reflecting the twelve hours displayed on its dial, this unique watch left an impression. Here it is in 2021, still authentic: a generously sized steel case, a dodecagonal bezel equipped with four screws, “Swiss Made" self-winding and quartz movements, and built-in interchangeable straps in steel or supple materials.
-A CAPTIVATING SEE-THROUGH SAPPHIRE DIAL ON THE BAUMATIC
The BAUMATIC Riviera is available with a smoky blue decorated sapphire dial on a built-in steel strap, or with a smoky gray decorated sapphire dial on a supple black strap. The transparency of its opaque dials provides an opportunity to admire the moving gear trains of the BAUMATIC, as if time had no hold over this watch.
-AN ULTIMATE INTERPRETATION OF THE RIVIERA WITH BAUMATIC
Finally, the Riviera also docks at the marina to showcase a luxury version equipped with the in-house BAUMATIC caliber, which has been known and acclaimed for several years, particularly through its success with the Clifton collection.
-A built-in interchangeable straps in steel or supple materials
The new Riviera also feature the ingenious Fast Strap interchangeability system developed by Baume & Mercier, so the flexible or steel bracelet can be changed in just a few seconds. Simple and straightforward. The rubber strap is available in various colours (black, blue, green, azure blue, white and mauve) so you can match the Riviera to your mood.
-About the Movement
The self-winding Baumatic movement ensures optimal reliability. In addition to 120 hours (5 days) of autonomy, Clifton Baumatic watches offer great chronometric precision (–4/+6 seconds per day for the COSC-certified models). They resist to the main magnetic fields of daily life. These models only require maintenance service once every seven years rather than three to five years recommended for a traditional watch. Any high watchmaking aficionado will appreciate these remarkable achievements.
