Reinterpreting the legendary 1973 luxury sports silhouette with contemporary Swiss quartz precision, refined architectural lines, and all-steel monochrome metallurgy, the Baume & Mercier Riviera 39mm M0A10845 delivers a modern statement in sports-dress horology. Sculpted in a 39.00 mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case measuring an ultra-slim 7.65 mm in profile with an integrated silhouette, this timepiece is distinguished by the signature Riviera dodecagonal (12-sided) bezel rendered in a clean, screwless execution. The case balances circular satin-brushed bezel surfaces with polished beveled chamfers and vertical brushed flanks. The dial features a pristine white opaline finish decorated with an embossed tonal wave motif that scatters ambient light with subtle micro-reflections. Accented by dark ruthenium-plated riveted Roman numerals at 12 o'clock, faceted trapezoid hour indices, matching openworked alpha-style hands, and a balanced date aperture at 3 o'clock beneath an anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, it is powered by a Swiss Made ETA Calibre F06.115 quartz movement offering up to 5 years of battery autonomy and an End-of-Life (EOL) indicator. Mounted on an integrated 3-row solid stainless steel bracelet alternating between satin-brushed and mirror-polished facets, secured by a triple-folding 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 39mm 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 M0A10845, Baume & Mercier refines this formula into a balanced 39.00 mm diameter with an ultra-slim 7.65 mm thickness. Forged from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the case features alternating circular satin-brushed finishes on the 12-sided bezel and polished chamfered bevels along the flanks. This screwless bezel execution gives the watch a sleek, dressy aesthetic while retaining the Riviera's bold geometric identity. The solid steel case back is secured by screws to maintain structural integrity, while the fluted octagonal winding crown is embossed with the Greek letter Phi (Φ).
