Riviera Baumatic Tideograph
利維拉系列Baumatic潮汐顯示自動上鏈腕錶M0A10761全球僅限量發行500枚，它隨着潮汐漲落的節奏運轉顯示，採用拋光與緞面打磨的十二邊形精鋼錶殼，直徑43毫米，厚度12.3毫米；上方護以雙面防反射處理的防刮傷藍寶石水晶玻璃錶鏡。拋光與太陽緞面打磨精鋼錶圈以四顆噴砂ADLC碳鍍層精鋼螺釘固定。覆以藍寶石水晶玻璃底蓋的十二邊形透視錶背，也是以四顆螺釘固定並可進行個性化鐫刻。錶背飾有特殊鐫刻字樣：“Special Edition One Out of 500”（限量500枚的特別版之一）。八邊形自由式錶冠飾有品牌徽號浮雕並壓印黑線。設於4點鐘位置的按鈕可設置潮汐儀圓盤。
Riviera Squelette Automatic
全新Riviera Squelette Automatic的鏤空機芯代表着超卓的製錶工藝，讓佩戴這枚複雜精密腕錶的錶主能夠隨時欣賞到齒輪組和傳動系統間的精準運作。鏤空刻面的黑色錶盤，飾以垂直太陽刷紋飾面；盤面上井然有序的部件與空靈輕盈的鏤空部位虛實相映，其上搭配黑色氧化刻面鏤空指針，覆有白色Superluminova夜光塗層（藍色螢光）。搭載的利維拉半鏤空自動上鏈腕錶M0A10721的鏤空機芯裝載在拋光與緞面打磨的十二邊形精鋼錶殼內，錶殼直徑42毫米，厚度11.1毫米。上方覆以雙面防反射處理的防刮傷藍寶石水晶玻璃鏡面，使盤面的每個細節都一覽無遺。
Riviera Baumatic Perpetual Calendar
上年值利維拉系列50周年之際，該系列首次配備在限量發行50枚、直徑40毫米的精鋼款利維拉腕錶上。該錶款一推出即獲得莫大的成功，於是今年品牌再度推出同款Baumatic萬年曆腕錶M0A10786，並增强了這款標誌性腕錶的專業技術。這項技術被裝載於直徑40毫米、厚度11.8毫米的十二邊形錶殼中，採用拋光與緞面打磨，精鋼打造的錶殼護以雙面防反射處理的防刮傷藍寶石水晶玻璃錶鏡。搭載Dubois-Dépraz模組的品牌自製自動上鏈Baumatic機芯確保本時計具有最優質的走時精度，長達5天（即120小時）的動力儲存功能，以及能夠抵抗日常磁場的防護能力。根據名士錶官網指引註冊的用戶均可享有6年的延長保修期。
Riviera Baumatic Acier-Titane
全新Baumatic日曆自動上鏈鈦金屬腕錶M0A10769裝載於直徑42毫米、厚度10.6毫米的十二邊形錶殼中。不同材質的組合運用增强了整枚腕錶的明亮感，並突顯出色調和時間顯示設計的對比美感。這款最近才引入利維拉系列的雙色調腕錶巧妙地結合了鈦金屬和灰色PVD鍍層。該款時計採用的精鋼材質擁有輕盈、持久耐用和抗腐蝕特性的保證。錶圈採用灰色PVD鍍層的微粒噴砂鈦金屬材質，並以四顆噴砂ADLC碳鍍層精鋼螺釘固定。錶圈和錶殼中層之間配置PVD鍍金精鋼錶環。八邊形自由式錶冠也同樣採用ADLC碳鍍層精鋼材質，錶冠中央標飾Phi品牌徽號浮雕並飾有鍍金線條。
