Product Information

Full details

The Baume and Mercier Riviera in grey is designed for watch enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of Swiss horological precision and modern, sporty aesthetics. Its key benefit is the high-performance Baumatic manufacture movement that offers long-lasting accuracy, though owners should note that the mechanical nature of the watch requires consistent wear or a winder to maintain its power reserve.

FAQs

Is the Baume and Mercier Riviera water-resistant?

The Riviera is designed for daily wear, but you should consult the specific technical manual included with your watch for exact depth ratings, as exposure to water should always be followed by a fresh water rinse if used in salt water.

How do I wind the watch manually?

With the crown in the closed, pushed-in position, turn it clockwise approximately 20-30 times to fully wind the mainspring.

What is a Baumatic movement?

The Baumatic is a proprietary manufacture calibre from Baume and Mercier known for its high level of precision and mechanical excellence.

Can I change the strap myself?

Yes, the Riviera features an integrated interchangeable strap system that allows you to swap straps without the use of traditional spring bar tools.

How often should I service this watch?

To maintain optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to have the movement inspected and serviced by a professional watchmaker every 3 to 5 years.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise 20-30 times, or wear the watch for several hours to build the power reserve.

Time is drifting or inaccurate

Ensure the watch has not been exposed to strong magnetic fields; if the problem persists, visit an authorized service center.

Bracelet feels loose

Check the interchangeable locking mechanism to ensure it is snapped into place, or have a jeweler remove a link for a custom fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Equipped with a high-end in-house Baumatic movement
  • Sophisticated smoky sapphire dial offers a unique visual appeal
  • Versatile design suitable for both sport and formal settings
  • User-friendly interchangeable bracelet system
  • Exhibition caseback highlights fine watchmaking details

Cons

  • Automatic movement requires regular wear to stay wound
  • Sapphire dial can be more difficult to read in very low light compared to solid dials
  • Mechanical watches require professional servicing every few years

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown to the second position and rotate to adjust the hands. The watch is designed for everyday wear, but avoid exposure to extreme magnetic fields or heavy impacts, which can affect the balance spring. To clean the case and bracelet, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If the watch features a metallic bracelet, it can be gently cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water, provided the crown is fully pushed in and secured. For the interchangeable bracelet, ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged after swapping straps to prevent accidental release. Professional servicing is recommended every 3 to 5 years to ensure the movement remains lubricated and accurate.
