The Baume & Mercier Riviera Automatic [10768] represents the sportier and more adventurous side of the Riviera collection, combining bold contemporary styling with the versatility and reliability expected from a modern Swiss luxury sports watch.

Introduced as part of Baume & Mercier's celebration of the natural colours of the French Riviera, the 10768 draws inspiration from the mysterious depths of the Mediterranean Sea. Its rich blue-green lacquered dial captures shifting shades of ocean water while the signature Riviera wave motif creates remarkable depth and visual movement across the dial.

What immediately distinguishes this reference from traditional Riviera models is its striking sandblasted steel ADLC bezel. The dark bezel creates a dramatic contrast against the polished and satin-finished steel case while reinforcing the watch's athletic character. Fastened with four matching ADLC screws, the bezel gives the watch a stealthy and purposeful appearance rarely seen within the collection.

The integrated black rubber strap further enhances the sporty personality of the watch while delivering exceptional comfort and versatility. Whether worn during travel, leisure activities, or everyday life, the combination of the rubber strap and ADLC bezel creates a Riviera that feels more contemporary and dynamic than its steel-bracelet counterparts.

Powered by a Swiss automatic movement and protected by a sapphire exhibition caseback, the Riviera 10768 successfully blends luxury watchmaking, modern materials, and Riviera elegance.

This is not simply a Riviera on a rubber strap.

It is the Riviera at its most athletic and contemporary.

Inspired by the Depths of the Mediterranean

Baume & Mercier created the 10768 as an homage to the sea that surrounds the French Riviera.

The deep blue-green lacquered dial reflects the mysterious colours found beneath the surface of Mediterranean waters, while the tone-on-tone wave décor reinforces the connection to the Riviera's maritime heritage. As light moves across the dial, subtle shifts in colour and texture create a constantly changing visual experience.

The result is one of the most distinctive dial executions in the modern Riviera collection.

What Is ADLC?

ADLC stands for Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon, an advanced coating technology known for its durability, scratch resistance, and distinctive dark appearance.

The ADLC-treated bezel offers:

• Enhanced surface hardness
• Increased scratch resistance
• Modern stealth-inspired aesthetics
• Strong contrast against the steel case
• Long-term durability

The dark bezel gives the Riviera 10768 a unique identity that immediately separates it from more traditional luxury sports watches.

Built for Active Lifestyles

The Riviera 10768 combines luxury watchmaking with genuine everyday practicality.

Its combination of:

• Automatic movement
• 100 metre water resistance
• Rubber strap comfort
• Sapphire crystal
• Durable ADLC bezel

makes it particularly well suited for active owners who want one watch capable of transitioning seamlessly between work, travel, and leisure.

Riviera Heritage Since 1973

Introduced in 1973, the Riviera became one of the first luxury sports watches crafted in stainless steel.

Its distinctive twelve-sided bezel and integrated design quickly established it as one of the most recognizable collections in Swiss watchmaking.

More than fifty years later, the Riviera continues to evolve while remaining faithful to its original identity of combining elegance and sport in equal measure.

View the Movement at Work

Turning the watch over reveals a sapphire exhibition caseback that showcases the automatic movement within.

This visible connection to the movement enhances the ownership experience and reminds the wearer of the craftsmanship powering every second.

For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the exhibition caseback remains one of the most rewarding features of a mechanical watch.
