Baume & Mercier Riviera Azur 10717 is a men's version of the iconic sporty and elegant watch from the Riviera collection. Its design reflects that of its predecessor, first launched 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. Its distinctive appearance makes it a choice for those looking for a sporty and elegant men's watch.
Models in the Riviera collection are immediately 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 watch expresses freedom and casual elegance and embodies quality watchmaking. Its versatility is a particular advantage: its combination of features makes it suitable for sport, use in water and everyday wear. The Riviera Azur is ready for adventures in the water.
The Baume & Mercier Riviera Azur M0A10717 has a transparent smoky grey sapphire dial, revealing the inside of the watch. Prominent luminous hands and raised hour markers ensure legibility. The watch is powered by the in-house mechanical movement Baumatic BM13-1975A, with a power reserve of 120 hours. The automatic movement has 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 distinctive dial is protected by a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It also has an anti-reflective coating, ensuring 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 three-row steel strap with a butterfly clasp. The strap also features a quick-release system, making it easy to change without tools.
Super-LumiNova luminescence on the hands and hour markers improves legibility in low light and underwater. The model has a water resistance of 300 m. Its unidirectional countdown bezel, screw-down crown and crown protection provided by the case also reflect its intended use. The case diameter is 42 mm, making the watch suitable for 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 you are 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.

The brand is recognized as a pioneer in the watchmaking field, producing elegant and avant-garde timepieces that have influenced entire eras and styles. 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.
