Baume & Mercier Riviera Chronograph 10624 is a men's version of the iconic sporty-chic Riviera watch, enhanced with the popular stopwatch function. The design does not deny its predecessor, first launched in 1973. Apart from the characteristic shape of the case, the most striking feature of the Riviera models is the dial - its subtle texture reminiscent of rippled water with reflections of the sun's rays. Thanks to its specific appearance, it is a great choice for men's sports watches.

The models from the Riviera collection are instantly recognisable thanks to the 12-sided lunette with four screws, a reference to the design of the Riviera sports steel models first introduced by the brand in 1973. The watch's look expresses freedom, casual elegance and is the epitome of fine watchmaking. You will especially appreciate the versatility of the watch - its set of features makes it ideal for use in sports, in the water and for everyday use.

The Baume & Mercier Riviera M0A10624 has a harmonious black dial with contrasting silver hands and embossed indices at the hour positions. The watch is powered by a reliable Swiss mechanical movement with automatic winding Valjoux 7750 movement with a power reserve of 48 hours. The self-winding movement with a frequency of 28,800 semi-frequencies per hour offers a crown winding option, a stop-seconds function when setting the time (hacking), a handy date and day display at the 3 o'clock position and the popular stopwatch function. The sub-dials at the 6 and 12 o'clock positions display the measured values. For the date and day, the use of a dark background for the wreaths is pleasing.

The unmistakable dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with high scratch resistance. It is also anti-reflective, ensuring excellent legibility even in direct sunlight. Sapphire has also been used for the caseback, through which the operation of the mechanical movement can be observed.

The steel case of the watch is complemented by a three-row steel bracelet finished with a butterfly clasp. It is the integrated bracelet that promotes the sporty feel of the watch, and it is also equipped with a quick-release system, which makes it very easy to change without tools.

The Super-LumiNova luminescence on the indices and hands ensures better legibility in low-light conditions. The water resistance of this model is 100 m. The diameter of the case is 43 mm, so the watch fits perfectly on most men's wrists.
