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 Omega Unveils The New Seamaster Diver 300M in Bronze Gold & Burgundy

A new addition to the iconic Seamaster with bold and elegant hues

Omega’s Seamaster Diver 300M has long been an icon in the world of professional diving watches, renowned for its classic style and durability. In 2020, the No Time to Die edition, worn by James Bond (Daniel Craig) in his ninth film with Omega, introduced a no-date layout and vintage aesthetics that quickly won over enthusiasts. More recently, Craig was spotted wearing the black version during the 2024 Paris Olympics. This model was part of a launch that included four stunning new references in steel, followed by a titanium and Bronze Gold version with green accents. Now, the collection welcomes another addition, crafted entirely in Bronze Gold and paired with a striking burgundy bezel.

The new Seamaster features a case made of Bronze Gold, Omega’s proprietary alloy combining bronze with 37.5% gold, palladium, and silver. This blend not only enhances the metal’s resistance to corrosion but also prevents the verdigris oxidation common in traditional bronze.

The case measures 42mm in diameter and 13.8mm in thickness. Surrounding the domed sapphire crystal is a burgundy anodized aluminum bezel insert, complete with a vintage-inspired Super-LumiNova 60-minute diving scale. A helium escape valve and a screw-down sapphire caseback ensure the watch is water-resistant to 300 meters.

The matte black dial is made from sandblasted aluminum and features PVD-coated hands in Bronze Gold, while the blackened indices are filled with vintage-toned Super-LumiNova. The dial also has light brown printed text and markers, adding a classic touch.

Powering the watch is the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, an automatic movement that runs at 25,200 vph (3.5Hz) and offers a 55-hour power reserve. As a METAS-certified movement, it delivers exceptional precision and high magnetic resistance, up to 15,000 gauss.

The Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold Burgundy is available in two variations: a black rubber strap with a Bronze Gold pin buckle (CHF 12,200 equivalent to AED 55,600) and a Bronze Gold mesh bracelet with a folding clasp (CHF 24,500 equivalent to AED 111,700).
