Riviera 10789 Watch

The Watch

Baume & Mercier creates watches defined by their classic, refined design - a seamless marriage of watchmaking tradition and contemporary innovation. The brand offers a diverse range of timepieces for men and women, from sporty to sophisticated. Premium materials ensure both aesthetic appeal and lasting durability, while the precision and reliability of its mechanical movements make it a favorite among Swiss watch enthusiasts. Baume & Mercier stands as a prestige watchmaker where Swiss quality and meticulous attention to detail take center stage. A masterpiece of precision, this stunning MOA10789 watch - a tribute to Aurélien Giraud - is a special edition piece from the Riviera collection. Limited to just 100 pieces, it was crafted to grace the wrists of men who appreciate the extraordinary. It features a black case in micro-blasted stainless steel with a black DLC coating. Its dodecagonal shape measures 42 mm in diameter and 10.65 mm in thickness. A bezel secured by four screws adds to its commanding presence. A sapphire crystal sits atop the case, shielding the dial from scratches and everyday impacts. The winding crown at 3 o'clock allows effortless time adjustment and is designed for a confident grip. Finally, the screw-down caseback is both numbered and features a sapphire crystal engraved with Aurélien Giraud's signature, offering a breathtaking view of the movement within and guaranteeing 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

This stunning grey dial reveals a transparent background with geometric patterns. Captivating in every detail, it showcases two luminescent hands at its center - the short one for hours and the long one for minutes - joined by a red seconds hand. These hands, along with the Roman numerals and baton indices they sweep past, are treated with SuperLuminova C1 for enhanced legibility in low-light environments. A minute track runs along the outer edge for precise time reading, while a date window with a visible wheel sits at 3 o'clock. Finally, the brand name is displayed at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

The automatic movement powering this model is Swiss-made. The Baumatic BM13-1975A caliber by Baume & Mercier drives the hands with exceptional precision. It features 21 jewels to reduce friction and delivers a power reserve of 120 hours. Equipped with a stop-seconds mechanism for easy time-setting, it oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vph - or 4 Hz.

The Strap

The strap completing this model's design is crafted from alcantara and rubber in black. Bold and distinctive, it is highlighted by white stitching and the brand's logo in red. Versatile and comfortable, it pairs effortlessly with any style. It fastens securely with a deployant clasp.

Water Resistance

With 100-meter water resistance - that's 10 ATM in watchmaking speak - this bold timepiece holds its own at black-tie events and in the water alike. Wear it confidently in the shower, the bath, or during a swim (even a vigorous one!). Just keep in mind: our watch experts caution that this model is not built for scuba or freediving, nor for use with high-pressure washers. Stick to showering, bathing, and swimming - and remember to keep the crown and pushers dry while submerged.
