Baume & Mercier launched the Riviera, one of the first sports watches crafted in steel, in 1973. Now, the Riviera M0A10770 and M0A10764 models assert very elegant finishes – dials crafted in smoked and sun-satin lacquered sapphire; a bezel in polished and sun-satin stainless steel; and a satin-polished stainless steel strap – while the more masculine and sportier Riviera M0A10763 and M0A10768 assert a sandblasted ADLC-coated steel bezel fastened with four screws, also in sandblasted ADLC-coated steel, and a rubber strap

The date appears in a broad aperture at 3 o’clock. In satin-polished stainless steel, the 39 mm case is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-glare coating on both sides. Fastened by four polished steel screws, the bezel is finished in polished and sun-satin stainless steel. The sapphire crystal engravable caseback reveals the movement.
