Baume & Mercier Riviera Baumatic Automatic 42 mm Smoky Grey Sapphire Dial Steel Bracelet (10717)

Precision engineered. Sport-refined. Heritage redefined.

The Baume & Mercier Riviera Baumatic Automatic 10717 stands at the intersection of sport-watch capability and refined horological engineering. Housed within a substantial 42 mm stainless-steel case, the iconic twelve-sided bezel and integrated bracelet architecture evoke the Riviera collection’s bold identity while delivering modern luxury presence on the wrist.

Step closer and you’ll discover the standout feature: a smoky-grey sapphire semi-transparent dial, designed not simply to display time but to reveal the mechanical soul of the watch. Through the tinted surface you glimpse the movement beneath, lending depth and drama to the everyday. Applied rhodium-plated indexes, leaf-style hands and a refined wave-pattern motif add texture and visual elegance. The layout strikes a balance between expressive design and legibility—an attribute increasingly rare at this level of luxury sport-watch.

Central to the model’s appeal is the Baumatic in-house automatic calibre, offering a robust 5-day (120-hour) power reserve, enhanced anti-magnetic resistance and long-term reliability—features typically found in much higher price tiers. This mechanical excellence is framed by the transparent sapphire exhibition case-back, which invites the wearer into a view of the rotor, finishing details and movement architecture—a rewarding experience for the enthusiast who values substance as much as style.

Beyond aesthetics and movement, the 10717 delivers performance credentials worthy of its premium positioning: 300 m (30 ATM) water resistance, a unidirectional diving bezel and a steel bracelet engineered for comfort and durability. These features make this Riviera not just a luxury statement, but an instrument built for the demands of active, style-conscious wear.

Whether worn for daily executive engagements, weekend escapes or refined athletic endeavours, the Riviera Baumatic 10717 communicates horological depth, design strength and confident elegance. For a buyer seeking ‘more than a watch’—looking for mechanical integrity, boutique appeal and distinctive aesthetics—this piece stands out as a refined investment in luxury sport timekeeping.
