Product Information

Full details

The Baume and Mercier Riviera is a sophisticated automatic timepiece designed for individuals who appreciate the marriage of classic horological heritage and contemporary aesthetics. Its standout feature is the vibrant green dial paired with a versatile 39mm case, offering a perfect balance of presence and comfort for everyday wear. While this watch delivers exceptional style and reliable self-winding performance, potential owners should note that it requires regular movement to keep the mainspring wound, which may necessitate a watch winder for those who rotate their timepieces frequently.

FAQs

How does the automatic movement work?

It uses an internal rotor that spins with the natural motion of your wrist, which in turn winds the mainspring that powers the watch.

Can I swim with this watch?

While the watch is built to be robust, please check the specific water resistance rating on the case back before submerging it in water.

Does it need a battery?

No, as an automatic mechanical timepiece, it does not use batteries.

How often should it be serviced?

It is generally recommended to have automatic watches serviced by a professional every 3 to 5 years to ensure long-term accuracy and longevity.

Is the 39mm size suitable for small wrists?

Yes, 39mm is considered a 'sweet spot' for most wrist sizes, offering a modern look that is neither too large nor too small.

Can I change the strap?

The Riviera is designed for versatility, and the strap can typically be swapped by a professional jeweler or using the correct tools if you are experienced.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Manually wind the crown clockwise 20-30 times to replenish the power reserve.

Time is running slow or fast

This may indicate the need for professional regulation or potential magnetic interference; consult a certified watchmaker.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and timeless aesthetic suitable for both formal and casual settings
  • Self-winding automatic movement removes the hassle of battery changes
  • Versatile 39mm case size is comfortable for daily wear
  • Distinctive green dial offers a modern, high-end look
  • High build quality consistent with Swiss watchmaking traditions

Cons

  • Automatic movement may stop if not worn for several days
  • Requires professional servicing periodically to maintain precision
  • Does not feature the convenience of a quartz watch's 'set and forget' nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set your Riviera for the first time, gently pull the crown out to the appropriate position to adjust the time. Ensure the crown is fully pushed back in after adjustment to maintain water resistance. For care, avoid exposing the watch to extreme magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements. Clean the case and band periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sweat and oils. If you store the watch for long periods, placing it on a specialized automatic watch winder will keep the lubricant distributed and the movement ready for your next outing.
