Baume & Mercier Riviera Flyback Chronograph M0A10828
Unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2025, the new Baume & Mercier Riviera Flyback Chronograph reference M0A10828 is a vintage-style watch featuring a flyback function, tachymeter, and telemeter.
This limited edition of just 73 timepieces – a number that pays tribute to the launch year of the Riviera collection, 1973 – embodies the quintessence of the chronograph. Its flyback function – which allows the chronograph to be stopped, reset, and restarted at a simple press of a second, identical push button at 4 o’clock –, as well as its telemeter and tachymeter, make it a precious tool, complementing the indication of hours, minutes, small seconds, and date.
Its sophisticated mechanism is beautifully crafted with a luminous brushed vertical gold dial that asserts a vintage touch, precise lines, and exceptional readability. The fine concentric detailing of the chronograph, telemeter, and tachymeter counters is edged with Roman numerals and riveted, rhodium-plated indexes coated with beige Superluminova (blue glow).
The faceted, rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, coated with beige Superluminova (blue glow), contrast with the blued steel chronograph seconds hand, which bears the Phi logo as a counterweight, and with the polished blued steel hands of the counters. A white aperture at 4:30 reveals the date.
With a diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 14.34 mm, the polished and satin-finished stainless steel dodecagonal case of this luxury piece, so emblematic of this collection, is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-glare coating on both sides.
The twelve-sided bezel secured by four screws is also crafted in polished and satin-finished stainless steel. Also fastened by four screws, the dodecagonal case back bears a special “Limited Edition One of 73” engraving, and may also be custom-engraved.
The free octagonal crown is adorned with a delicately embossed Phi logo, emblem of the House, and wreathed with a fine blue line. The self-winding movement offers a 42-hour power reserve and oscillates at a frequency of 4Hz (28,800 vph).
The new Baume & Mercier Riviera Flyback Chronograph Reference M0A10828 is water-resistant to 10 ATM (approximately 100 m). The integrated three-row strap features a central link highlighted by decorative bevels in polished and satin-finished stainless steel and is equipped with a robust, highly reliable, interchangeable system, making it possible to change the strap without any tools. The triple folding clasp with security push-pieces is also crafted in stainless steel.
