Baume & Mercier Riviera Green, Satine, Sunray Dial 42mm Men M0A10763

Fusing the legendary 1973 dodecagonal luxury sports silhouette with avant-garde material contrasts, technical surface finishing, and Swiss mechanical precision, the Baume & Mercier Riviera Automatic 42mm M0A10763 delivers a bold, contemporary expression of modern sports-chic horology. Sculpted in a 42.00 mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case measuring 10.66 mm in profile with an integrated silhouette, this timepiece is distinguished by its dual-material architecture: a micro-sandblasted stainless steel 12-sided bezel coated in ultra-hard black ADLC (amorphous diamond-like carbon) and secured by four functional black PVD screws. The dial showcases a radiant sun-satin dark green finish (vert foncé satiné soleil) enriched by a tone-on-tone transparent wave motif that catches and diffuses ambient light across shifting emerald, forest, and olive reflections. Accented by rhodium-plated riveted Roman numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock, faceted trapezoid hour indices, openworked dauphine hands coated with white Super-LumiNova, and a balanced date aperture at 3 o'clock beneath an anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the display combines deep chromatic richness with high-contrast nocturnal legibility. 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 black vulcanized rubber strap with an embossed canvas/fabric texture, tool-free quick-release interchangeability, and a stainless steel triple-folding deployant clasp, it is pressure-tested for an aquatic 100 metres (10 bar / 10 ATM) of water resistance and backed by Baume & Mercier’s official 2-year international manufacturer warranty.

Design & Craftsmanship

1973 Riviera Sports Icon & The 42mm Steel-ADLC Architecture

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 M0A10763, Baume & Mercier introduces a tactical dual-material contrast. Forged from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the 42.00 mm case features satin-brushed surfaces and mirror-polished beveled chamfers. Crowning the case is a 12-sided bezel treated with micro-sandblasting and coated in deep black ADLC (amorphous diamond-like carbon), anchored by four functional black screws. This dark matte framing accentuates the watch's athletic silhouette while providing surface hardness against scratches. The solid case structure is completed by an exhibition sapphire case back secured by four screws, while the fluted octagonal winding crown is finished with a black ADLC grip ring and the Greek letter Phi (Φ).
