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 Oris celebrates 60 years of the first dive watch with the Diver's Date collection

Three colourful dials in vintage-inspired cases

Ever since Oris began its journey into luxury watchmaking, diving watches have been one of its best features. The brand has offered numerous versions of this model across different collections, including the chronograph collection, which features the "Aquis" , a classic design that reflects the spirit of diving. Today, we present the brand’s latest evolution in diving watches, the new Diver’s Date collection, launched to celebrate the approaching 60th anniversary of its first diving watch. This collection includes three versions, each available in a different color.

The watch comes in a multi-piece stainless steel case with a 39 mm diameter. It includes a unidirectional rotating bezel accented by a black ceramic, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. The top glass is crafted from domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating on the inside, ensuring clarity and scratch resistance. The case back is made of stainless steel with a screwed design, that allows a glimpse of the intricate movement within. Additionally, the watch is equipped with a stainless steel screw-in security crown, providing water resistance up to 200 meters, making it suitable for various aquatic activities.

The watch dial is available in black, blue, or beige, each offering a distinctive look that complements the overall design. It features Super-LumiNova coating on the hands and applied indexes, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light conditions. A white printed minute track encircles the edges, enhancing readability and allowing for precise timekeeping. Additionally, a date window positioned at 6 o'clock provides added functionality, making it a practical choice for everyday wear while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.

The watch is powered by the Oris 733 caliber automatic movement based on the Sellita SW200-1, which includes a stop-second mechanism for accurate setting. It has a power reserve of 41 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz).
