The New Patek Philippe Twenty~4 7340/1R Perpetual Calendar

Introduced in 1999, the Twenty~4 collection was Patek Philippe’s first dedicated line of feminine timepieces. The original model featured an Art Deco-inspired manchette (cuff) design, but in 2018, the brand unveiled the Twenty~4 Automatic, which is a round-cased iteration powered by an automatic movement. This year, Patek Philippe elevates the collection further by introducing a perpetual calendar complication, marking the collection's debut in the realm of Grand Complications.
Crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, the watch features a 36mm case with a slender profile of just 9.95mm, making it sit gracefully on the wrist. The case is meticulously finished with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces, enhancing its refined aesthetic. Two dial options are available. The Ref. 7340/1R-001 features a silvery opaline dial with a vertical satin finish, evoking the texture of shantung silk that feature irregular texture, while the Ref. 7340/1R-010 presents an olive green sunburst dial for a more contemporary appeal.

Introducing Expanding Omega’s New Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date Collection

Adding an elegant green reference in titanium and bronze gold case

Following the recent release of Omega’s Seamaster Diver 300M No Date collection, the brand has unveiled an exciting new edition, crafted in Grade 2 Titanium and Bronze Gold. This fresh release follows the stainless steel models introduced earlier, which gained significant attention when Omega ambassador and former James Bond star, Daniel Craig, was spotted wearing the black version.

The standout feature of this model is its case, crafted from Grade 2 Titanium, a material prized for its remarkable combination of lightweight strength and corrosion resistance. Its durable nature, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, makes it a popular choice in the aerospace industry. Omega’s exclusive Bronze Gold alloy is used for the bezel, crown, and helium escape valve. The alloy is a blend of gold, palladium, and silver, designed to retain its natural patina over time without turning green due to layer oxidation.

Measuring 42mm in diameter and 13.8mm in thickness, the case exudes a robust yet refined appeal, enhanced by a vintage-inspired domed sapphire crystal. The screw-in crown, helium valve, and screwed sapphire caseback ensure the watch's impressive water resistance up to 300 meters, making it an ideal companion for adventure.

The bezel and dial of the watch are both crafted from green aluminium, while the hands feature a PVD bronze gold coating and blackened indexes filled with vintage Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility. Powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, the movement is certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) and operates at a frequency of 25,200 vph (3.5Hz), offering an impressive 55 hours of power reserve.

The watch is available with a Grade 2 titanium mesh bracelet priced at CHF 10,200, approximately AED 42,500, or a green rubber strap for CHF 9,400, approximately AED 39,200.
