Baume & Mercier Riviera Azur 10716 is a men's version of the iconic sporty and elegant watches from the Riviera collection. Its design reflects its predecessor, first introduced in 1973. Alongside the distinctive case shape, the most striking feature of Riviera models is the dial – in this case transparent, made of smoky grey sapphire and featuring a depiction of rippling water. Their distinctive appearance makes them a great choice for a sporty and elegant men's watch.
Models in the Riviera collection are instantly recognisable by their twelve-sided bezel, a reference to the design of the sporty steel Riviera models first introduced by the brand in 1973. The watches express freedom and casual elegance and embody quality watchmaking. Their versatility is particularly appealing: their combination of features makes them suitable for sport, use in water and everyday wear. Riviera Azur watches are ready for adventures in the water.
The Baume & Mercier Riviera Azur M0A10716 has a transparent blue sapphire dial that reveals the inside of the watch. Prominent luminescent hands and raised hour markers ensure legibility. The watch is powered by the mechanical in-house movement Baumatic BM13-1975A, with an impressive 120-hour power reserve. The automatic movement operates at a frequency of 28800 vibrations per hour and offers winding via the crown, a stop-seconds function when setting the time (hacking) and a date at the half-past-four position.
The striking dial is protected by a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It also has an anti-reflective coating, ensuring excellent legibility even in direct sunlight. Sapphire is also used for the case back, through which the mechanical movement can be observed.
The steel case is complemented by a rubber strap matching the dial, finished with a butterfly clasp. The integrated strap enhances the watch's sporty appearance and is equipped with a quick-release system, making it easy to change without tools.
Super-LumiNova luminescence on the hands and indices ensures better legibility in low light and underwater. This model has a water resistance of 300 m. The unidirectional countdown bezel, screw-down crown and crown protection provided by the case also reflect the model's intended use. The case diameter is 42 mm, so the watch fits most men's wrists. The warranty can be extended to 8 years simply by registering on the manufacturer's website.
Personal delivery: For this model, we offer personal delivery of the watch by the brand representative in Prague and the Central Bohemian Region. If interested, please add a note to your order and we will contact you. More information here.

Baume & Mercier was founded in 1830 in Les Bois, Switzerland, making it the 7th oldest watchmaking brand in the world. The brand was established by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume, who, true to their motto "Accept only perfection, manufacture only watches of the highest quality", created exceptional timepieces with an outstanding reputation that the brand maintains to this day. Baume & Mercier watches combine performance, technological innovation, and refined design, and are still synonymous with top quality.

It is known for its iconic Marquise models from the 1940s and its collections Riviera (the Riviera model was first introduced in 1973 and became one of the first steel sports watches) and Hampton.
Among other achievements, the brand boasts its in-house Baumatic automatic movement, offering a power reserve of up to five days and chronometer-level accuracy.
