Baume & Mercier Riviera Flyback Chronograph 10828 is a limited edition of the iconic, sporty and elegant model from the Riviera collection, celebrating 1973, the year the collection was introduced. The watch comes in a smaller size, with the popular chronograph function and a bicompax subdial layout. Its design reflects the original model, designed by Gérald Genta.
With the Baume & Mercier Riviera Flyback Chronograph 10828, a movement with a flyback chronograph function returns to the Riviera range after several years. This chronograph allows a new timing measurement to begin with a single press of the pusher at 4 o'clock, which stops, resets and restarts the chronograph. The flyback function was introduced in the 1930s to help pilots time different phases of a flight. Unlike a traditional chronograph, which requires three separate actions – stopping, resetting and restarting – the flyback function allows the seconds hand to return immediately to zero and resume timing with a single press of the lower pusher.
Alongside the movement, the watch features a vertically brushed gold-plated dial, giving it a subtle vintage touch. This is complemented by the unconventional font on the date wheel and the use of three scales on the dial – a telemetric, a tachymetric and a minute scale.
The Baume & Mercier Riviera M0A10828 has a vertically brushed gold-plated dial, complemented by rhodium-plated applied indices and hands. The central seconds hand and chronograph hands are blued, creating a contrast. A detail of the central seconds hand is the Phi symbol at its end.
The watch is powered by the reliable Swiss mechanical La Joux-Perret 8147 movement with a 42-hour power reserve. The automatic movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers winding via the crown, a seconds hand stop when setting the time (hacking), a practical date display at half past four and the popular chronograph function. Elapsed time is displayed by the central seconds hand and a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock.
The dial is protected by a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It also has an anti-reflective coating on both sides, ensuring readability even in direct sunlight. Sapphire is also used for the case back, through which the mechanical movement can be observed. It reveals decoration in the form of perlage, Geneva stripes and blued screws.
The steel case is complemented by a three-row steel strap with a butterfly clasp. The integrated strap enhances the watch's sporty character. It also features a quick-release system, making it easy to change without tools.
Beige Super-LumiNova luminescence on the hands, indices at 12 and 6 o'clock and hour markers improves readability in low-light conditions. The model has a water resistance of 100 m. The case diameter is 41 mm, making the watch suitable for most men's wrists.
The limited edition is restricted to just 73 pieces.
Models from the Riviera collection are instantly recognisable by their twelve-sided bezel with four screws, referencing the design of the sporty steel Riviera models first introduced by the brand in 1973. The watch's appearance expresses freedom and casual elegance and embodies quality watchmaking. Its versatility makes it suitable for sport, use in water and everyday wear.
