Baume & Mercier has always been one of those low-profile brands that quietly produces exceptional timepieces without chasing trends or fanfare. And honestly, that understated approach is part of the charm. While I enjoy a beautifully made watch as much as anyone, I’ve never had much of a taste for overly flashy pieces. Baume & Mercier sits comfortably in that “if you know, you know” category—and the new Riviera Chronograph releases at Watches and Wonders 2025 fit that mould perfectly.
The lineup may feature just four references, but there’s plenty of variety within the collection. Each one offers its own interpretation of the Riviera DNA, striking a thoughtful balance between timeless design and modern updates. There’s a subtle tension here—classic lines meet contemporary functionality, all delivered with the brand’s signature restraint. One model in particular, a limited-edition flyback chronograph, stands out as a brilliant mix of old-school charm and forward-thinking watchmaking.
With that in mind, let’s dive into the collection and see what Baume & Mercier has brought to the table this year.
We’re kicking things off with a crowd-pleaser—a Riviera that captures that sun-kissed Mediterranean aesthetic with a crisp blue dial that’s both versatile and eye-catching. There’s an easygoing vibe here, almost like the watch is inviting you to relax, hop on a yacht, and enjoy the day.
At 43mm, it offers a solid wrist presence, but thanks to the integrated steel bracelet and well-balanced proportions, it wears comfortably without feeling bulky. It shares the same foundation as its darker sibling—same movement, same layout—but has a noticeably more relaxed vibe. The brushed blue aluminium ring around the bezel adds a splash of colour without overdoing it.
You still get the essentials: a reliable Valjoux 7750 inside, day and date display, sapphire crystal on both sides, and even the option to engrave the case back for a personal touch. Nothing revolutionary here—and that’s the point. It’s proof that a well-executed formula doesn’t need to shout. Blue dial, steel case, everyday reliability. Baume & Mercier just knows how to make it look easy.
Brand: Baume & Mercier
Model: Riviera Day Date Chronograph
Reference: M0A10826
Diameter: 41 mm
Thickness: 13.94 mm
Material: Stainless Steel
Dial Colour: Sun-Satin Blue With Horizontal Wave Pattern
If its blue counterpart is the playful one in the lineup, this version plays it cooler—both literally and stylistically. Dressed in deep black with a matching aluminum bezel insert and sun-satin dial, the Riviera M0A10825 gives off an effortlessly refined edge. It’s the kind of watch that doesn’t seek attention but earns it anyway—quietly confident, sleek, and incredibly versatile. With the same 43mm case and reliable Valjoux 7750 movement as its sibling, it maintains the functionality while swapping the mood to something more polished.
There’s just something about a black dial that makes a watch feel like a go-to. You can throw it on with just about anything—from a crisp white tee to a tailored jacket—and it always suits the mood. If you’re searching for a daily chronograph that offers sporty presence without overpowering your look, this one ticks all the right boxes. Baume & Mercier keeps it simple here—and in doing so, absolutely nails it.

Thickness: 13.94 mm
Material: Stainless Steel
Dial Colour: Sun-Satin Black with Horizontal Wave Pattern
There’s something undeniably sharp about a silver dial. The Riviera M0A10827 takes that sleek, monochromatic look and enhances it with Baume & Mercier’s signature style—sun-satin finish, horizontal wave pattern, and a polished-steel case that brings it all together. It’s a watch that feels unified from every angle, with a presence that’s understated yet confidently striking.
Compared to its bolder siblings in blue and black, this one feels a touch more refined—almost dressy, but still grounded in its sporty roots. It’s the kind of chronograph you could wear to the office all week and still rock on the weekend without missing a beat. The dial shifts beautifully in different lighting, giving it a dynamic edge despite its otherwise understated palette.
If you’re the type who values clean design with just the right amount of detail, this piece might be your ideal match. It doesn’t demand attention, but it certainly earns it—quietly, classically, and with the kind of versatility that makes it a strong choice for everyday wear.

Dial Colour: Sun-Satin Silver with Horizontal Wave Pattern
Every collection needs a centerpiece, and Baume & Mercier saved the spotlight for this one shines. Limited to just 73 pieces—a direct nod to the Riviera’s debut year in 1973—the M0A10828 Flyback Chronograph is the type of release that will attract collectors. It combines the Riviera’s sporty elegance with a healthy dose of vintage-inspired charm and high-end mechanics. While the scarcity might frustrate some, there’s no denying that this watch feels special the moment you see it.
The dial is where this Riviera truly comes to life. A golden yellow sun-satin finish with vertical brushing sets the tone, providing a warm, sophisticated backdrop that’s unlike anything else in the collection. Large Roman numerals sit at the edge, flanked by riveted rhodium-plated indexes and contrasting black sub-dials. The Dauphine-style hour and minute hands are also rhodium-plated and coated in beige Super-LumiNova®, emitting a soft blue glow in the dark. Then there’s the detail that makes enthusiasts smile: the blued steel central seconds hand with the brand’s Phi logo as a counterweight—paired with blued hands on each of the sub-dials.
Flip the watch over, and you’ll see a sapphire caseback that reveals the La Joux‑Perret 8147‑2 automatic movement— a flyback chronograph calibre with a 42-hour power reserve and sharp column-wheel architecture. The flyback function enables stopping, resetting, and restarting the chronograph with a single push, making it both technically impressive and highly practical. Add the tachymeter and telemeter scales on the dial, and you’ve got a piece that isn’t just beautiful—it’s purpose-built.
The entire design is encased in the Riviera’s iconic dodecagonal stainless steel case, polished and satin-finished to perfection. That same finish extends into the integrated three-row bracelet, completing the look with cohesion and elegance. It’s sporty, yes, but there’s a gentlemanly grace to this watch that broadens its appeal. Amid a sea of flashy limited editions, this one stands out for doing things the Baume & Mercier way—quiet confidence, balanced design, and just enough technical edge to satisfy serious collectors.

Up close, the details truly elevate it.

The logo, date window, and dial text follow the same refined grey treatment, tying everything together in a way that feels intentional and sophisticated. The overall effect is calm, confident, and unmistakably high-quality.
The 150-metre water resistance firmly places it in its Seamaster lineage, while the ample power reserve adds practicality for daily wear.

It’s vibrant without feeling overdone, and paired with Doxa’s signature cushion-shaped case, it becomes one of the most approachable and personality-filled divers you can buy today.

With a 42 mm case, it offers a comfortable fit and a sporty look. Priced at around USD $1,400, it’s among the most affordable turquoise watches available—fun yet durable, adding a splash of colour to your collection without a high price tag. It’s a perfect entry point for anyone looking to build a turquoise-themed watch collection.
And now, the Rolex and a few turquoise watches have created as much conversation—and demand—as the Oyster Perpetual 36 with the turquoise blue dial. It’s clean, minimal, and instantly recognizable, yet the splash of colour gives the watch an unexpectedly playful edge. The shade itself sits in that perfect sweet spot: bright enough to catch the eye, smooth enough to feel timeless. It’s Rolex stepping just outside its traditional palette and doing so with absolute confidence.
The 36 mm oystersteel case exudes the familiar Rolex robustness, offering a comfortable, all-day wear that never feels oversized. The smooth bezel and uncluttered dial layout allow the turquoise colour to be the focal point, giving the watch a fresh, modern vibe while still honouring the subtle elegance of the OP line. It’s a piece that looks equally sharp with a T-shirt as it does under a tailored cuff.
Inside, the Calibre 3230 keeps everything with Rolex’s signature precision and a strong 70-hour power reserve. Adding 100 metres of water resistance, you get a watch that’s as practical as it is stylish.

If you want to shift away from stainless steel cases and want something a bit different for your collection, few colourful watches have built such a loyal following as the Oris ‘Cotton Candy’ series, and the turquoise variant is the standout of the trio. Light, bright, and full of personality, the dial adds an effortless sense of fun to a design that still respects vintage dive-watch roots. The combination of turquoise and bronze creates a warm–cool contrast that feels energetic without being over the top, giving the watch a playful yet refined character that instantly elevates any wrist it’s on.
At 38 mm, the case is beautifully proportioned and fits comfortably on nearly every wrist. The bronze material naturally develops a patina over time, creating a unique finish that makes each watch truly your own. Paired with the reliable Oris 733 movement and robust 100-metre water resistance, the Cotton Candy combines charm, durability, and individuality in a way few colourful pieces ever achieve.

Thickness: 9.5 mm
Material: Stainless Steel
Dial Colour: Turquoise
Calibre: 5134
Power Reserve: 40 Hours
Water Resistance: 5 Bar (50 metres, 165 feet )
Price: USD $93,100
When Audemars Piguet pairs its iconic Royal Oak design with a turquoise dial and a full perpetual calendar, the result is truly captivating. Made in a very limited run of just 75 pieces, this is one of the rarest turquoise watches available today. The vibrant dial adds a contemporary twist to one of haute horlogerie’s most respected complications, all housed within the legendary Royal Oak shape. It’s bold, elegant, and unmistakably AP—showing that even heritage complications can feel remarkably contemporary with the right splash of colour.
What makes this particular model so captivating is how the turquoise dial reacts to its environment. Under bright light, it shines with nearly electric intensity, highlighting the moonphase and contrasting sub-dials. In softer lighting, it shifts to a calm blue-green hue that enhances the symmetry and complexity of the perpetual calendar display. The dial itself offers a visual journey—alternating between energetic and serene depending on the moment.
Despite showing the month, day, date, moonphase, and leap year, the watch remains notably slim at 9.5 mm, making it surprisingly comfortable for a perpetual calendar. The Calibre 5134 manages the complexity with ease, requiring no adjustments for decades when properly maintained. On the wrist, the stainless-steel integrated bracelet and turquoise dial come together effortlessly, creating a striking combination of presence, craftsmanship, and technical sophistication in a single statement piece. Priced at USD $93,100, this Royal Oak positions itself firmly at the pinnacle of modern turquoise watchmaking.
Among a collection of striking turquoise watches, this stands out as one of the most refined—an ultra-exclusive, highly complex masterpiece that combines colour with pure horological prestige.
For collectors who prefer the greener side of turquoise, the Monta Noble Mint Lacquer hits a sweet spot that few brands match. The glossy mint dial has a smooth, almost enamel-like richness that shifts beautifully between soft green and pale turquoise depending on the light. It’s refreshing, modern, and full of character—yet remains incredibly wearable thanks to the Noble’s clean lines and perfectly judged 38.5 mm case. With only 100 pieces made, it also offers a subtle exclusivity that distinguishes it from mainstream options.
Despite its refined appearance, the Noble remains a practical everyday companion. The M-22 calibre offers a reliable 56-hour power reserve, and the 150-metre water resistance enhances its versatility beyond its polished look. The slim 9.7 mm profile ensures comfort on the wrist, while the mint lacquer dial provides a touch of playfulness that catches the light and brings a smile.
Kurono Tokyo Classic Series Seiji | Image: Supplied
11. Kurono Tokyo Classic Series Seiji
Brand: Monta
Model: Noble
Diameter: 37 mm
Thickness: 7 mm
Material: Stainless Steel
Dial Colour: Blue-Green Lacquer
Calibre: M-22
Power Reserve: 40 Hours
Water Resistance: 3 Bar (30 metres, 100 feet )
Price: USD $1,800 (Limited Edition – 500 Pieces)
Here’s a brand not a lot of people know about—but those who do know it highly recommend it. Kurono Tokyo is the creation of Japanese master watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, one of the few independent artisans in Japan producing haute horlogerie by hand. While Asaoka’s bespoke pieces sell for six-figure prices, Kurono was designed as his more approachable line—offering thoughtful design, Japanese aesthetics, and limited-edition charm without the high price tag.
The Seiji embodies that philosophy beautifully with its blue-green lacquer dial, a colour that shifts between soft turquoise, jade, and misty seafoam depending on the light. With only 500 pieces produced and demand that surged overnight, it now trades for up to USD $5,000 on the secondary market.
The 37 mm stainless-steel case and ultra-slim 7 mm profile give the Seiji an elegance that feels almost vintage, while the lacquered dial remains the highlight—sleek, expressive, and distinctly Japanese in character. Polished indices and hands add just enough warmth without distracting from the richness of the colour.
With a 40-hour power reserve and everyday comfort, it’s a watch you can easily wear from morning to night, yet it still carries the intimacy and artistry of an independent brand. This is turquoise reimagined through a uniquely Japanese perspective—quiet, poetic, and undeniably soulful.
The Alpine Eagle has always been Chopard’s answer to the modern luxury sports watch, but the Beach Edition takes a livelier, more vibrant approach. The “Maritime Blue” dial reflects the colours of crystal-clear shorelines—somewhere between turquoise, deep aqua, and sunlit ocean water—complete with the collection’s signature textured surface inspired by an eagle’s iris.
At 41 mm, the watch makes a bold statement, but the slim 9.7 mm profile keeps it sleek and easy to wear. It’s colourful without being overwhelming, luxurious without losing that warm, summery vibe suggested by its name. Inside, Chopard’s in-house 01.01-C calibre delivers a robust 60-hour power reserve, and the integrated bracelet drapes smoothly on the wrist with that unmistakable high-end feel.
With a retail price of USD $15,900, the Beach Edition positions itself firmly in the premium sports-watch category—but it more than justifies that status through craftsmanship, comfort, and distinctive style. The 100 metres of water resistance prepare it for real-life adventures—beach clubs, coastal drives, and early-morning swims included. As part of your turquoise-inspired lineup, the Alpine Eagle Beach Edition stands out not only for its vibrant colour but also for the confident, contemporary lifestyle it represents.
Among this turquoise-inspired collection, the Glashütte Original Senator Meissen stands out as the most artistic piece. Its celadon-green dial isn’t just coloured—it’s hand-painted porcelain, crafted in partnership with the renowned Meissen manufactory, Germany’s oldest and most esteemed porcelain maker. The gentle green hue, reminiscent of jade and pale turquoise, imparts an elegant, almost meditative calm to the watch. Paired with a warm red-gold case and limited to 150 pieces, the Senator Meissen feels more like wearable art than a conventional timepiece.
With an impressive 100-hour power reserve from its 36-16 Calibre, it reinforces Glashütte Original’s reputation for precise German engineering. The 9.7 mm thickness keeps the watch elegant on the wrist, and every detail—from the Roman numerals to the hand-painted traditional Meissen blue accents—reflects a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. Priced around USD $35,000, the Senator Meissen sits at the intersection of watchmaking, fine art, and heritage craftsmanship. It’s a poetic, cultured alternative within the turquoise family—perfect for collectors who value the story as much as the aesthetics.
The Zenith Defy Revival Boutique Edition brings a vibrant, retro-futuristic touch to the turquoise trend. Inspired by the original Defy A3642 from 1969, this boutique-only model maintains the angular octagonal case, ladder bracelet, and vintage proportions of the original, while introducing a striking aquamarine dial. The colour sits beautifully between turquoise and sea-blue—bright, energetic, and full of personality—making it one of the boldest additions to Zenith’s revival lineup.
At just 37mm, Zenith pairs this with a reliable Elite 670 automatic calibre, delivering a smooth 50-hour power reserve and sturdy daily performance. The standout feature is the impressive 300-metre water resistance, something rarely seen in such a slim, retro-inspired case. With a price of USD $7,500, the Defy Revival Boutique Edition comfortably ranks as one of the most fun, distinctive, and technically capable turquoise watches on the market—ideal for collectors who want their colour with a touch of heritage swagger.

15. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Tiffany Blue
Brand: Patek Philippe
Model: Nautilus
Reference: 5711/1A-018
Diameter: 40 mm
Thickness: 8.3mm
Material: Stainless Steel
Dial Colour: Tiffany Blue
Calibre:26-330 S C
Power Reserve: 45 Hours
Water Resistance: 12 Bar (120 metres, 400 feet)
Price: Upon Request (Limited Edition – 170 Pieces)
There are turquoise watches…and then there’s this. The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 “Tiffany Blue” isn’t just a watch; it’s a cultural moment frozen in steel. With only 170 pieces made to mark the 170-year partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co., it quickly became one of the most desirable modern watches ever created. The dial displays a perfect matte Tiffany Blue—clean, playful, and incredibly refined—all contained within the unmistakable silhouette of one of the most iconic sports watches of all time. Even among a collection of standout turquoise pieces, this one stands out completely.
On the wrist, the 5711 remains as effortlessly elegant as ever—slim at 8.3 mm, perfectly sized at 40 mm, and finished with Patek’s beautifully crafted steel bracelet. It features a Calibre 26-330 S C, providing smooth automatic performance and a 45-hour power reserve. As for the price? There isn’t one—officially. “Upon request” simply hints at the reality: this piece often skyrockets into the multi-million-dollar range on the secondary market. It’s the ultimate turquoise trophy, the kind of watch that defines collections rather than joins them.
What makes this watch even more remarkable is the cultural impact it had beyond the watch community. When Jay-Z, LeBron James, and a few other high-profile collectors were seen wearing one, it only amplified the craze. Auction houses exceeded expectations, with one piece selling for over $6.5 million, immediately establishing the model as a modern icon. The hype didn’t just boost the Nautilus — it changed the conversation about what a limited release can achieve in the luxury market.
Yet beneath the headlines and the astronomical figures lies something far more compelling: a watch crafted as a love letter to a historic partnership, designed with deliberate intention and restraint. No diamonds, no excessive embellishments—just perfect proportions, a legendary case design, and one of the most recognizable colours in the world. It’s turquoise elevated to myth. And for collectors fortunate enough to own one, it’s not just a watch…it’s a piece of history.
Even after narrowing the list to fifteen watches, a few turquoise-dial standouts were simply too good to overlook. These pieces didn’t make the main selection—not because they lack merit, but because the competition was filled with icons, limited editions, and bold statement pieces that advanced the category. Still, each watch below offers something unique, from approachable turquoise brilliance to high-end craftsmanship and striking colour finishes that deserve recognition. Think of these as the hidden gems that complete the turquoise universe.
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 (USD $850): This is also a good entry point for your collection. The PRX Powermatic 80’s turquoise dial adds a cool, modern vibe to one of the most popular integrated-bracelet designs in its price range. The sunburst finish creates a dynamic energy, shifting between light aqua and deeper turquoise tones as it moves. Paired with the Powermatic 80 movement and the iconic PRX silhouette, this is one of the cleanest, easiest ways to add a turquoise dial to your collection without sacrificing style or performance.
IWC Schaffhausen Ingenieur Automatic 40 (USD $12,900): The Ingenieur adopts a more industrial, architectural approach to the turquoise trend. Its grid-pattern dial in a soft turquoise-blue provides the watch with an unexpected freshness, adding colour to a design that is famously technical and angular. The result is a striking contrast—sporty engineering softened by a dial that reminds one of clear coastal waters. It’s a bold, modern interpretation demonstrating how turquoise can transform even the most utilitarian luxury sports watch.
Rolex Day-Date 36 Oyster Yellow-Gold (USD $50,600): The Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 in 18 ct yellow gold featuring a turquoise, diamond-set dial, fluted bezel, and President bracelet epitomizes true luxury with unmistakable Rolex confidence. The turquoise dial injects a splash of vibrant colour into one of the most esteemed designs in watchmaking, while the diamond markers enhance the look without overwhelming it. Combined with the warmth of yellow gold and the iconic President bracelet, this version of the Day-Date feels daring, joyful, and immediately memorable—proof that even the most formal watches can incorporate colour and still remain undeniably refined.
Grand Seiko SLGA025 (USD $11,000): Grand Seiko approaches turquoise with subtlety and texture. The SLGA025 features a dial inspired by the shifting colours of winter water—sitting somewhere between pale turquoise, icy blue, and glacier green. It has depth, movement, and that signature Grand Seiko brilliance that makes the surface shimmer like frozen waves under sunlight. Paired with the Spring Drive 9RA2 movement, this is turquoise reimagined through pure Japanese craftsmanship: calm, elegant, and masterfully executed.
