Luxury sports watches with integrated bracelets are enjoying renewed attention. In 2025, Baume & Mercier strengthens its position as a key player with the launch of four new references of the Riviera Chronograph. Unveiled at the international Watches & Wonders fair, these 41 mm models combine the original spirit of the collection with contemporary expectations: clean lines, proven functionality, and instantly recognisable aesthetics.
A trailblazing icon
When the Riviera collection was launched in 1973, it offered a bold and innovative proposal: a luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet, introduced just one year after the legendary Royal Oak. Five decades later, the Riviera watch remains a benchmark in the refined sports watch segment.
The 2025 model retains its essential design codes: a dodecagonal steel case, visible screws on the bezel, and dials with textures inspired by nature. The reduced 41 mm diameter enhances comfort and wearability while maintaining strong wrist presence. This new generation delivers versatility and style, is water-resistant to 100 metres, and is equipped with the Fast Strap quick-change system.
Four versions, four personalities
Riviera Flyback Chronograph (Ref. M0A10828) – Limited edition
The limited edition of 73 pieces leads the lineup, created to commemorate the original model’s release year. Its vertically brushed golden dial, blue sub-dials, and tachymeter and telemeter scales evoke refined technical nostalgia. Powered by the automatic La Joux-Perret 8147 movement with flyback function, it is visible through the sapphire caseback and features a decorated gold rotor.
