Unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2023, the reference M0A10730 is a leading model of the new Baume & Mercier Riviera Ladies watch collection.
Celebrating the 50 anniversary, the Riviera collection has been enhanced by introducing a number of sport-chic wristwatches for women.
This is the first time since the launch in 1973 that so many Riviera models have been dedicated to women in a single year. The feminine 33mm and 36mm models are available with an array of five new dials, each offering sophisticated finishes, shimmering colors, diamonds and interchangeable straps.
At Watches & Wonders 2023, Baume & Mercier unveiled the new leading model of the collection: the Riviera M0A10730. Its sun-satin gold dial features transparent transfer waves, Roman numerals, riveted indexes coated in Superluminova (C1, blue glow), and faceted gold hands that indicate the hours, minutes and seconds.
The date appears in a discreet aperture at 3 o’clock. The elegance of this timepiece is exalted by four brilliant-cut diamonds (Top Wesselton, VS quality, 0.05 ct) which are set into the polished stainless-steel bezel and sun-satin dodecagonal case.
This watch is designed for women, with a 33-mm case that is ideal for the female wrist. It graces the wrist harmoniously in a balance distinctive of Baume & Mercier, which continually pursues the right proportions and flowing curves.
The iconic Phi logo appears in relief on the free octagonal crown of this new model. The center of the polished, satin-finished stainless steel case is prettily adorned with a central ring in 5N gold-plated PVD steel.
The twelve sides of the case that are emblematic of the collection reflect the twelve hours on the dial. The case back is also dodecagonal. Protected by a sapphire crystal, it may be personalized with an engraving. The watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (approx. 50m).
The Baume & Mercier Riviera Ladies M0A10730 model houses a self-winding movement, which offers a 38-hour power reserve.
This new version of the Riviera is mounted on the type of integrated metal strap which is distinctive to the collection. In polished and satin-finished stainless steel, it is made up of three rows of links that perfectly surround the case and visually extend it in the continuing pursuit of natural harmony.
The strap is interchangeable, and it may be detached and replaced with no tools required thanks to a very reliable, robust system. All the models feature a triple folding buckle with security push-pieces and an easy adjustment system.
