Baume & Mercier continues to expand its Riviera collection with four striking chronographs, each embodying the brand’s commitment to refined aesthetics and technical excellence. LAunched at Watches And Wonders 2025, these timepieces seamlessly blend sportiness with sophistication, catering to watch enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function.

Riviera M0A10828: A Flyback Chronograph with Vintage Aesthetic

Limited to just 73 pieces—an homage to the Riviera collection’s launch year in 1973—this flyback chronograph is a true collector’s piece. The flyback function allows the chronograph to stop, reset, and restart with a single press of the push button at 4 o’clock. Featuring a telemeter and tachymeter, it enhances precision while maintaining a classic look. The brushed vertical gold dial exudes vintage charm, enhanced by Roman numerals and riveted rhodium-plated indexes coated with beige Superluminova. The faceted rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, also coated with beige Superluminova, contrast elegantly with the blued steel chronograph seconds hand bearing the Phi logo counterweight. A date aperture at 4:30 completes the dial’s intricate detailing.

Encased in a 41mm polished and satin-finished stainless steel case, the watch is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-glare coating. The dodecagonal bezel and case back, secured by four screws, reinforce the Riviera’s signature design, with a special engraving indicating its limited-edition status. The automatic movement offers a 42-hour power reserve and a 4Hz (28,800 vph) frequency, ensuring reliability. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it features an integrated three-row stainless steel bracelet with an interchangeable system and a secure triple-folding clasp.

Riviera M0A10827: A Chronograph with Contrasting Elegance

This Riviera variant exudes a distinctive black-and-white aesthetic, blending timeless elegance with a dynamic appeal.

Roman numerals and riveted rhodium-plated indexes coated with white Superluminova (blue glow) further enhance the legibility.

The polished and satin-finished stainless steel case, measuring 41mm in diameter and 13.94mm thick, houses a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-glare treatment.

A refined octagonal crown, embossed with the Phi logo, adds a final touch of sophistication.

Powered by an automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve, this chronograph operates at 4Hz (28,800 vph) and boasts a 100-meter water resistance.

The polished and sun-satin stainless steel bezel and transparent sapphire case back, secured with four screws, maintain the collection’s architectural integrity.

The black wave-decor dial features an azure flange and counters, with alternating Roman numerals and riveted rhodium-plated indexes coated in white Superluminova. The faceted rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, along with the counter hands, further enhance readability. The day and date display at 3 o’clock adds functionality to the dial’s design.

The blue-dialed Riviera, now available in a refined 41mm size, continues the collection’s legacy with its sun-satin finish, wave decor, and azure flange and counters. The Roman numerals and riveted rhodium-plated indexes, coated with white Superluminova, create a luminous contrast against the deep blue background. The faceted rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, along with the counter hand at 9 o’clock, share the same luminescent treatment, ensuring optimal readability.

The satin-finished stainless steel case, with its twelve-sided design, is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-glare coating.
