Baume & Mercier Riviera Grey, Satine, Sunray Dial 36mm Women M0A10661

Fusing the historic 1973 dodecagonal luxury sports silhouette with avant-garde tri-tone metallurgy, mechanical self-winding horology, and balanced mid-size ergonomics, the Baume & Mercier Riviera Automatic 36mm M0A10661 delivers an assertive, sophisticated statement in modern feminine sports-chic watchmaking. Sculpted in a 36.00 mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case measuring 9.77 mm in profile with an integrated silhouette, this timepiece is distinguished by its mixed-material architecture: a micro-sandblasted Grade 2 titanium 12-sided bezel secured by four functional sandblasted steel screws, highlighted by an underlying 5N gold-plated PVD ring that frames the dial face with warm chromatic contrast. The dial showcases a radiant sun-satin slate grey finish (gris satiné soleil) decorated with a tone-on-tone transparent wave transfer motif that captures ambient light in shimmering charcoal, graphite, and silver arcs. Accented by warm 5N gold-gilded riveted Roman numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock, faceted trapezoid indices, matching 5N gilded dauphine hands coated with white Super-LumiNova (blue nocturnal emission), and a date aperture at 3 o'clock beneath an anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the display combines evening elegance with sports clarity. Through the exhibition sapphire crystal case back, the Swiss Made mechanical automatic calibre (BM 11200 / Sellita SW200 base) is visible, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) across 26 jewels with a 38-hour power reserve. 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 ("Fast Strap"), 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 Steel-Titanium 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 M0A10661, Baume & Mercier translates this iconic silhouette into a contemporary mixed-material execution. Forged from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the 36.00 mm case features satin-brushed surfaces and mirror-polished beveled chamfers with a slender 9.77 mm height. Atop the case sits a 12-sided bezel crafted from micro-sandblasted titanium, held in place by four functional sandblasted steel screws. Directly beneath the titanium bezel rests a 5N gold-plated PVD ring that catches ambient light with a warm metallic halo. On the reverse side, an exhibition sapphire crystal case back secured by four screws provides an unhindered view of the mechanical movement. The fluted octagonal winding crown is embossed with the Greek letter Phi (Φ)—the horological emblem of the Golden Ratio and divine harmony.
