Baume & Mercier Riviera Terracotta, Satine, Sunray Dial 36mm Women M0A10764

Reinterpreting the legendary 1973 luxury sports silhouette with warm earth-toned vitality, mechanical self-winding horology, and balanced mid-size ergonomics, the Baume & Mercier Riviera Automatic 36mm M0A10764 represents a versatile statement in contemporary sports-chic design. Sculpted in a 36.00 mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case measuring a slender 9.57 mm in profile with an integrated silhouette, this timepiece is distinguished by the signature Riviera dodecagonal (12-sided) bezel secured by four functional polished steel screws, alternating between circular satin-brushed surfaces and mirror-polished chamfers. The dial showcases a sun-satin terracotta face (terracotta satiné soleil) decorated with a tone-on-tone transparent wave motif that captures ambient light in warm amber, clay, and burnt-sienna reflections. Accented by rhodium-plated riveted Roman numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock, faceted trapezoid 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 pairs warm color with night legibility. Through the exhibition sapphire crystal case back, the Swiss Made self-winding mechanical 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, 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 Sports Icon & The 36mm Dodecagonal 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 M0A10764, Baume & Mercier translates this iconic sports-chic silhouette into a versatile 36.00 mm diameter with a slim 9.57 mm profile. Forged from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the case combines circular satin-brushed finishes on the 12-sided bezel with mirror-polished chamfers and vertical brushed flanks. Four functional polished steel screws anchor the bezel, emphasizing its architectural character. On the reverse side, an exhibition sapphire crystal case back reveals the mechanical movement and running gear train. The fluted octagonal winding crown is embossed with the Greek letter Phi (Φ)—the horological emblem of the Golden Ratio and divine harmony.
