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.

The world of horology has always been one of innovation, craftsmanship, and heritage. When a watch brand such as Oris combines these principles with eco-conscious efforts, the result is bound to be captivating. Enter the Oris Dat Watt Edition II, a testament to both impeccable Swiss watchmaking and a commitment to environmenta conservatio.

The Oris Dat Watt Edition II draws its aesthetic inspiration directly from the Wadden Sea's salt marshes, a UNESCO World Heritage site that covers regions across the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. This diverse ecological zone, facing threats from human activities and climate change, represents a crucial part of our planet's natural heritage.

The Original Oris Dat Watt Edition

The timepiece's green dial, influenced by these salt marshes, offers a refreshing departure from the original blue-to-grey gradient. In addition, the caseback is engraved, showcasing the beautiful Wadden Sea.

Built for diving aficionados, this limited-edition timepiece boasts a 300m water resistance, ensuring it can accompany enthusiasts on underwater adventures. It also aligns with the Aquis standard, which has always been associated with robust diving features. Notably, the Dat Watt Edition II flaunts a grey tungsten bezel, a uni-directional rotating feature ensuring diver safety. Furthermore, the watch is designed with a unique circular date window, complemented by luminescent elements that enhance underwater legibility.

Under the hood, the Oris 743 automatic movement, based on the reliable Sellita design, powers this edition. Running at a frequency of 28,800vph (4 Hz), it offers a respectable 38-hour power reserve, making sure that timekeeping remains accurate and dependable.

The Oris Dat Watt Limited Edition II exemplifies the Aquis line's craftsmanship, featuring a seamlessly integrated stainless-steel bracelet and a blue rubber strap tailored for divers. Its innovative clasp systems ensure wearability over wetsuits.

This edition comes in a specially crafted box, complete with a strap-changing tool, reflecting Oris' commitment to versatility. Priced at $3,200, and limited to just 2,009 pieces.
