33mm stainless steel case, quartz movement with date function, sun-ray finished blue dial, stainless steel bracelet.
Driven by a “Swiss Made" quartz movement, this Riviera is adorned with a blue dial and mounted on a metal bracelet giving a lightful look to this timepiece. Recommended for assertive personnalities.
The azure blue of its sun-satin dial, adorned with a transparent wave transfer decoration, brings to mind the color of the water as it mirrors the blazing sun throughout the day. The date appears in an aperture at 3 o’clock, while the hours and minutes are indicated on Roman numerals and riveted indexes coated in Superluminova (C1, blue glow) by faceted rhodium-plated hands. The display is orchestrated by a quartz movement with a ten-year autonomy. The Brand’s emblem, the Phi logo, appears in relief on the free octagonal crown. The watch timepiece is water-resistant to 5 ATM (approx. 50m).
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.
