Riviera Magnum XXL Automatic
Home | At its core is a self-winding mechanical movement that powers the flyback chronograph function. This feature allows the user to stop and restart the chronograph with a single push, making it ideal for high-performance timing. The back of the case, made from sapphire crystal, reveals the smooth movement and the motion of the oscillating weight. Only one thousand numbered pieces of this replica model will be produced. Riviera Magnum XXL Automatic This is the first non-chronograph model in the Riviera Magnum collection. It features a clean, refined look and a bold 45-millimeter case made from solid steel. The ergonomic design and the iconic twelve-sided bezel frame a sleek black dial with luminous Roman numerals and central hour, minute, and second hands. A large vertical date window is positioned at three o'clock. The satin-finished case and bezel enhance the masculine and rugged character of the watch. The screw-down crown is protected by two streamlined guards that extend naturally from the case. Like the bezel, the case back is fastened with four black screws and includes a sapphire window showing the self-winding mechanical movement and its oscillating weight decorated with the Cotes de Geneve pattern. The Origin of a Legend After the launch of the Tronosonic in 1971, Baume Mercier made waves in 1973 with the Riviera, an avant-garde design that became a flagship model for the brand over the next 25 years. Its standout feature—the twelve-sided bezel—was a novel concept at the time, inspired by the twelve numerals on the dial. The watch combined a sporty yet elegant design, using steel instead of gold, which was rare in that era. It appealed to a new generation of wearers seeking casual sophistication and became a commercial success during the rise of leisure culture. Interestingly, the Riviera almost did not reach production due to concerns that it was too unconventional for Baume Mercier's classic image. But with the Riviera, the brand introduced a new standard of casual elegance. The Riviera also proved its toughness. In a real-world endurance test, one was mounted on the wheel of a BMW M1 during the Le Mans 24 Hours race. It survived high speeds, centrifugal forces, harsh weather, and intense heat without missing a beat—telling time perfectly after 24 hours of racing. Initially launched with a mechanical movement, luxury replica watches the Riviera later incorporated tuning fork and quartz movements in the mid-1970s. It saw major updates in 1979 and 1985. The second generation, released in 1979, featured a slimmer 6.5-millimeter case and a new bracelet design. The dial began to display the Riviera name, and models with diver's functionality and GMT features soon followed. In 1985, the third generation featured smoother, more rounded bezels and bracelets, improved water resistance, and new ultra-thin quartz movements with better date visibility. These were offered in four sizes and came in various materials including gold, gold and steel, and full steel. A full calendar version was introduced in 1987, and the first chronograph appeared in 1993 for the Riviera's 20th anniversary. In 2004, the fourth generation was launched, followed by a sportier version in 2005 featuring a four-screw design. By 2007, Baume Mercier had reimagined the Riviera once again, introducing the Riviera Magnum collection, a rugged, action-ready evolution of the original. buy a rolex watches_replica old omega watch buy bell and ross watches_replica bell and ross radar watches prices breitling watches_tag heuer watches nz prices for breitling watches_replica iwc da vinci ceramic watches replica large gold watch_omega watches discounted replica latest breitling watch_datejust lady rolex watches replica rolex milgauss history watches_replica the rolex watch replica rolex milgauss price watches_monaco tag watches rolex gmt pepsi watches_replica tag heuer link calibre 7 watches rolex gmt sale watches_replica fake rolex watches sale |
