Blending the bold geometry of the historic 1973 luxury sports silhouette with fine jewelry glamour, monochromatic stealth, and Swiss quartz precision, the Baume & Mercier Riviera 36mm M0A10724 delivers a striking statement in feminine sports-chic horology. Sculpted in a 36.00 mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case measuring an ultra-slender 9.47 mm in profile with an integrated silhouette, this timepiece is distinguished by the signature Riviera dodecagonal (12-sided) bezel set with four brilliant-cut diamonds (Top Wesselton, VS quality, totaling 0.11 ct) positioned where traditional bezel screws normally rest. The case alternates between circular satin-brushed surfaces and mirror-polished chamfered bevels. The dial showcases an intense sun-satin black face (noir satiné soleil) decorated with a tone-on-tone transparent wave transfer motif that captures ambient light in glossy obsidian and charcoal arcs. Accented by rhodium-plated riveted Roman numerals and trapezoid hour indices coated with white Super-LumiNova (blue emission), matching faceted dauphine hands, and a balanced date aperture at 3 o'clock beneath an anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the display combines evening elegance with daytime legibility. It is powered by a high-precision Swiss Made electronic quartz movement engineered with an extended 10-year battery autonomy. Mounted on an integrated 3-row solid stainless steel bracelet alternating between satin-brushed and mirror-polished facets, secured by a triple-folding deployant clasp with security pushers and featuring a tool-free quick-release interchangeability system, it is pressure-tested for 50 metres (5 bar / 5 ATM) of water resistance and backed by Baume & Mercier’s official 2-year international manufacturer warranty.

Design & Craftsmanship
1973 Riviera Heritage & The 36mm Diamond-Set Steel Chassis
First unveiled in 1973, the Riviera broke traditional design conventions by introducing a dodecagonal (12-sided) bezel paired with an integrated silhouette, establishing itself as one of the original Swiss luxury sports watches. In reference M0A10724, Baume & Mercier elevates this sporty geometry with haute joaillerie accents. Forged from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the 36.00 mm case features satin-brushed surfaces and mirror-polished beveled chamfers with a slender 9.47 mm height. The 12-sided bezel is set with four brilliant-cut diamonds (Top Wesselton, VS clarity, 0.11 ct total) at each corner facet, substituting mechanical screw heads for gemstone sparkle. The solid steel case back is secured by screws to ensure structural integrity and provides space for custom personal engravings, while the fluted octagonal winding crown is embossed with the Greek letter Phi (Φ)—the horological emblem of the Golden Ratio and divine harmony.
